Kaplan Industries, Inc. Attends GAWDA 2025 SMC

As an attendee of the 2025 GAWDA Spring Management Conference, I can confidently say this year’s event in Dallas delivered! With over 750 members gathering to celebrate GAWDA’s 80th Anniversary, the theme “Sustaining a Resilient Culture” resonated throughout the entire experience.

The President’s Welcome Reception at the Dallas Tower Club was the perfect way to kick things off—great views, great conversations, and a strong sense of community.

The Contact Booth Program was a clear highlight. With more than 500 attendees engaging directly with vendors and partners, it was a prime opportunity to explore the latest innovations and strengthen industry relationships.

GAWDA continues to raise the bar, offering unmatched networking and real value for members. I’m already looking forward to seeing the full recap next week—and to what’s next for this incredible organization.
