Description
It started as a crazy idea back in 2021—gather the top SBA BDOs from around the country for a weekend to recharge, network, and share best practices. No massive agendas, no endless panels—just great people, powerful conversations, and the space to truly connect.
What began with a dinner overlooking the Atlantic and a few laughs around the table has grown into something truly special. For five years, the BDO Retreat has remained intentionally intimate—capped at 20 attendees—to preserve the magic that only comes from a close-knit group of high-performing professionals coming together in a relaxed, inspiring setting.
We’ve watched careers rise, friendships form, and deals get done. From Fort Lauderdale to Miami to Scottsdale, and now—back to where it all began—we invite you to join us in Key Largo, Florida on January 16–17, 2026, for the final chapter of this unforgettable tradition.
This is your chance to be part of something rare. Join us—one last time—for cocktails at sunset, candid conversations, and a community that has helped shape the future of SBA lending. Let’s make this one count.
