Event Details
Date: Thursday, January 29, 2026
Location: Godfrey Hotel Detroit
Auxiom’s Kickstart 2026 was something special. The room. The conversations. The people.
Incredible speakers. Incredible partners. An incredible community.
We captured the morning in a short highlight reel - from the connections to the moments that made it memorable.
Beyond the energy, a few ideas stood out:
From Mark Ostach
Connection is no longer a soft skill - it’s a leadership requirement. Energy, empathy, and presence are essential as teams navigate constant change.
From Mark Panciera
Mindset drives execution. Clarity, discipline, and ownership are what turn uncertainty into forward progress.
These conversations were made possible by the partners and sponsors who helped bring the event to life - and by a community that showed up ready to engage, challenge ideas, and move forward together.
