The 2025 INNERGY Summit Recap
The INNERGY Team just wrapped up the 2025 Customer Summit and we couldn’t be more proud! Held from February 2nd through the 5th at the Kalahari Resort in Austin, Texas, this year’s Summit exceeded all expectations. Boasting an impressive 550 attendees, 53 education sessions, and 120 companies represented, it’s safe to say that this millwork industry conference was a success!
We were thrilled to see the immense growth from last year’s event in St. Cloud, MN, where we welcomed 300 attendees. This year, we were aiming for 400 and with over 500 joining us, it’s clear the buzz surrounding INNERGY is stronger than ever. We were truly honored to have such a diverse group of industry leaders, newcomers, and veterans to learn from and share knowledge with.
The Power of Education: 53 Sessions
At the heart of every INNERGY Summit is the opportunity to learn from industry leaders and peers. Covering a range of topics from cutting-edge trends in architectural woodwork to in-depth discussions on optimizing business operations, there was something for everyone from seasoned experts to new drafters!
Inspirational Tours: Dovetail Custom Wood and Metal
A fan-favorite of the event was the Dovetail Custom Wood and Metal guided shop tour. Summit attendees got a behind-the-scenes look at the craftsmanship and artistry that define Texas woodworking. The tour was a huge hit and left everyone feeling inspired and motivated.
Texas-Style Fun: Networking and Racing
Our educational sessions may have been the backbone of the Summit but networking within the millwork industry and texas-style fun truly brought the event to life. Austin’s vibrant spirit was alive and well as attendees took part in interactive pub crawls and a spirited Pinewood Derby race!
A huge shout out to our Pinewood Derby winners:
- Stock Classic: 1st Place - MCM 2001
- Outlaw: 1st Place - Dovetail Custom Wood & Metal
- The Herby Award (final place in Stock/Classic #43) - Colorado Cabinet Works
Our attendees not only had fun but also had the perfect opportunity to connect on a personal level and foster new relationships or strengthen old ones.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next?
The 2025 INNERGY Summit set a new benchmark in terms of attendance, engagement, and educational value. With an overall Net Promoter Score of 84%, it’s clear that attendees walked away not only with new knowledge and connections but also with a renewed sense of inspiration and excitement for the future of the woodworking industry.
We’re committed to continuing this momentum and will even be offering a Virtual Summit on August 20th through the 22nd! Stay tuned for more info!
To all of our attendees, speakers, and partners: thank you for making the 2025 INNERGY Summit a success! Your participation, passion, and feedback made this event special and we can’t wait to see where the Summit will take us next!
