Landing in the No. 1 spot on the 2019 Inc. 5000 list was a pivotal moment in my life and a game-changer for the trajectory of Freestar. The opportunity to connect with so many inspirational leaders from around the country at the Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala was an honor and a privilege—it brings together the best and the brightest in business and we hope to continue to be a part of it each year.

Evening Black-Tie Gala

The Exclusive Community of Inc. 5000 Winners

All Inc. 5000 honorees are invited to join the Inc. Masters – a members-only inner circle of Inc. 5000 winners dedicated to two ideas: that no one understands the rewards and challenges of running an Inc. 5000 company better than other honorees of the 5000, and that staying connected to your Inc. 5000 peers will benefit you both. Masters have access to exclusive moments at the Conference and Gala as well as a range of resources and community privileges year-round.
