What does leadership look like when the decisions carry real weight?

For Levoyd Robinson, CFA, Co-Founder, CEO and CIO of CFI Partners, leadership is grounded in performance, fiduciary responsibility, and a commitment to creating greater opportunity across the investment industry.

At PIVOT 2026, Levoyd brings a perspective shaped by decades of navigating markets, managing risk, protecting client capital, and developing the next generation of leaders.

Because the strongest leadership lessons don’t only come from success. They come from the standards you maintain when the stakes are high.

This September, be in the room for conversations with leaders who have built, invested, decided, and led through consequential moments.

Trust isn’t built in a single decision. It’s built in the decisions you make consistently over time.

That principle has shaped Levoyd Robinson’s leadership throughout his career.

As Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Investment Officer of CFI Partners, Robinson has helped build an investment firm grounded in disciplined decision-making, thoughtful risk management, and long-term value creation while also recognizing that leadership can extend beyond performance to create opportunity for others.

His perspective brings an important dimension to PIVOT 2026:

Performance can move an organization forward. Purpose can determine what that progress makes possible.

For professionals navigating greater responsibility, making consequential decisions, building teams, managing capital, or defining what the next stage of leadership should look like, this is the kind of perspective worth being in the room to hear.

This September, join Levoyd Robinson and a growing lineup of leaders at the NBMBAA® 48th Annual Conference & Exposition in Los Angeles.

The next level of leadership isn’t always another title. Sometimes, it’s what you make possible for someone else.

After more than 25 years at McDonald’s, including serving as President and CEO, Don Thompson could have treated that achievement as the destination.

Instead, he built what came next.

As Founder and CEO of Cleveland Avenue, his leadership evolved from leading a global organization to investing in entrepreneurs, innovative businesses, and opportunities designed to create lasting impact.

That evolution is exactly what PIVOT is about.

This September, Don Thompson joins the NBMBAA® 48th Annual Conference & Exposition in Los Angeles, bringing a perspective especially relevant for professionals thinking beyond their current position:

What are you building with everything you’ve learned so far?

Whether your next move is a promotion, a career transition, entrepreneurship, investment, mentorship, or a completely different definition of success, being exposed to leaders who have navigated their own pivots can change how you see yours.

What do you do when success is no longer the destination but the starting point?

Earvin “Magic” Johnson transformed achievement on the court into something larger: ownership, investment, enterprise, and economic opportunity.

👉 His journey represents the essence of PIVOT: recognizing when your experience can become the foundation for your next chapter and having the vision to move toward it.

This September in Los Angeles, PIVOT brings our community closer to leaders whose careers demonstrate what becomes possible when ambition evolves into action.

For the student imagining what’s possible, the professional considering a next move, the entrepreneur building something of their own, or the executive thinking about legacy... the lesson is different, but the question is the same:

What could your next PIVOT make possible?

Join us at the NBMBAA® 48th Annual Conference & Exposition and experience the conversations, perspectives, connections, and leadership insights designed to help you think beyond where you are today.

Not every missed opportunity sends you a notification.

Sometimes, you only realize it existed after the conversation happened, the introduction was made, or someone else stepped into the room you considered entering.

That’s why attending PIVOT isn’t simply about adding another Conference to your calendar. It’s about intentionally placing yourself in an environment where employers, professionals, emerging talent, and industry leaders come together and giving possibility a chance to become something real.

You can’t predict which conversation will matter most.

But you can decide whether you’ll be there to have it.

The NBMBAA® 48th Annual Conference & Exposition (PIVOT) happens once this year.

Some opportunities are too valuable to keep to yourself.

Think about the people in your life.
The colleague who's ready for the next leadership opportunity.
The friend exploring a new career path.
The recent graduate looking for the right first step.
The mentor who has always encouraged you to aim higher.
Or the future leader who simply needs to be in the right room.

The NBMBAA® 48th Annual Conference & Exposition isn't just about who attends it's about the connections, conversations, and opportunities that begin when the right people come together.

You already know what the NBMBAA® Annual Conference feels like.
Now imagine what this year could unlock.

The conversations will be different.
The opportunities will be new.
The leaders, employers, and ideas shaping the future of business will once again come together but your perspective, experience, and goals have evolved since the last time you attended.

Growth isn't repeating the same experience.
It's returning with a bigger vision and a clearer purpose.

If you've attended before, don't come back expecting the same Conference.
Come back ready for what's next.

Your professional development budget may already be waiting for the right opportunity.

Before assuming you have to cover the full cost yourself, start a conversation with your employer. Many professionals attend conferences through professional development funds, leadership programs, workforce development initiatives, or employer sponsorship.

Position your request around the value you can bring back:

New leadership insights
Stronger industry connections
Career and workforce intelligence
Practical learning you can apply to your role
Greater visibility into talent, trends, and opportunity

The NBMBAA® 48th Annual Conference & Exposition (PIVOT) is more than a trip to Los Angeles. It is a strategic professional-development experience.

Ask early. Plan intentionally. Give your employer time to review the opportunity.
