Monticello, NY
What to Expect
Management in Motion is not your typical conference.
It is a full throttle experience created for private club leaders and industry partners who want more than small talk, stale sessions, and another forgettable day in a ballroom.
Set at Monticello Motor Club, this is where meaningful education, real relationship building, and serious fun all come together in one unforgettable experience.
From the optional Sunday night happy hour at the clubhouse to a Monday packed with energy, conversation, and incredible BMW M driving experiences, every part of the event is designed to bring the right people together in the right environment.
Here, learning does not happen in a vacuum.
It happens alongside drifting, drag racing, track time, and adrenaline filled moments that wake people up, bring their guard down, and make the whole experience more memorable.
The education is relevant, practical, and led by club professionals who have spent time on the track themselves, which means the conversations are grounded, the insights are real, and the takeaways actually connect.
This is an event built on shared experiences, and that is what makes it different.
The energy is higher.
The networking is more natural.
The conversations are better.
And the relationships go deeper because people are not just sitting next to each other, they are actually experiencing something together.
The result is sharper ideas, stronger connections, and the kind of day people keep talking about long after the tires cool down
Limited to 50 people
Only 19 spots remaining!
MiM Attendees will get 3 CMAA Credits
***This event is not an official CMAA event***
This is not generic conference filler. The education is relevant, practical, and led by club professionals who have spent time on the track themselves, bringing real leadership lessons, real experience, and real perspective to the room.
❋ Education
From drifting and drag racing to fast laps and track challenges, the adrenaline is part of what makes this event unforgettable. It sharpens the energy, opens people up, and turns a great event into something people actually feel.
❋ Adrenaline
Get behind the wheel of incredible BMW M cars at Monticello Motor Club and experience the kind of speed, precision, and performance most people only dream about. This is real seat time, real excitement, and a driving experience people will be talking about long after the day is over.
❋ Driving
The best connections are built through shared experiences, not forced small talk. Management in Motion creates real relationship building through high energy moments, honest conversation, and a day that naturally brings the right people together.

About the Host & Organizer
Denny Corby
Hiya, I’m Denny Corby.
I’m a comedy magician, entertainer, host of Private Club Radio, and what I like to call a professional people connector.
Management in Motion started with one big idea, create something for the club world that felt exciting, different, and actually fun.
Not another ballroom.
Not another badge.
A real experience.
Thanks to Ionel and the amazing team at Monticello Motor Club, we get to bring that vision to life.
This day is all about gathering great people from the private club space for adrenaline, education, laughter, networking, and the kind of shared experience that makes relationships stick.
Whether you are a full blown car nut or just think fast BMW M cars sound like a pretty good time, you are in the right place.
And I think you are going to love this one.

Q&A
-
Technically, sure. But in the same way a Ferrari is technically a car. This is not a sit in a ballroom, crush stale coffee, and pretend to be energized kind of deal.
-
Private club leaders and select industry partners who like smart people, great conversation, and experiences that actually make relationships stick. Basically, people who want more than a name badge and forced small talk.
-
Nope.
You do NOT need to know a thing about apexes, lap times, or whatever your one car friend will try to explain at dinner.
You just need to be open to an unforgettable experience. -
The fun kind. Expect incredible BMW M cars, track time, lead follow laps, drifting, drag racing, karting, hot laps, and the kind of moments that make your inner twelve year old lose his mind a little.
