Members Only · Hollywood Beach · August 3–5, 2026
The HSF Members Event at Margaritaville Beach Resort. A full day on AI with Jim Leslie, plus breakouts built for the people you bring with you.
Why This Event
Most operators are running the same playbook they ran three years ago. It still works, until it doesn't. The market moves, a competitor figures out something you haven't, and your best people start wondering if there's more somewhere else.
This event is about the three moves that decide whether next year is better or just busier. Getting your arms around AI before it's deciding things for you. Building someone who can train your team so the whole operation doesn't run through you. And giving your top techs a path worth staying for, before someone else hands them one.
This is the room where that work gets done. Three days with the HSF team and a group of members pushing on the same things you are.
Three Days, Built For Execution
Most events hand you a binder and a buzz that fades by Thursday. This one is built around the work, not the lecture.
Monday, Aug 3
Registration and a welcome party from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Check in, grab your materials, and start connecting so you walk into Tuesday already in the room.
Tuesday, Aug 4
A full day on AI. Not the "AI is coming" talk. How operators are using these tools right now to drive efficiency, growth, and profit in a home service business.
Wednesday, Aug 5
Bring your people. Train-the-Trainer with Madison Biddy, and the Tech Career Path Workshop with Jason Kim, running side by side.
What You Walk Out With
A working plan for AI in your business, drawn from a full day with Jim, not a list of apps to maybe try later.
A trainer who knows how to train, so onboarding and skills stop living in your head.
A real tech career path you can post on the wall, so your best people see a future and stay.
Time with operators at your stage and above, working the same problems you are.
A clear next action for each, ready to run the Monday you get home.
The Schedule
5:00 to 7:00 PM. Check in, pick up materials, and kick off the networking.

Who It's For
This is a members-only event for HSF members across every tier. It is built for the owner who wants to bring the right people from the team: a trainer, a manager, a team lead.
Jim was CMO and CTO at A1 Garage Door Service, part of the leadership team that scaled the company from roughly $40-50M to over $250M before a private equity exit, expanding to 65 locations across 22 states in under 20 months. He built the marketing, the org charts, the hiring process, and the financial controls that made that growth hold.
He now leads Home Service Freedom, where the same systems run inside hundreds of member companies across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, garage doors, and other residential trades.
