Benchmarks knows sustainable systems don't happen by chance, they're built through thoughtful policy, stable funding, and a well-supported workforce. That's why we advocate for practical, long-term solutions that strengthen providers, invest in the workforce, and equip organizations with the resources they need to deliver quality care. Together, we're helping build a North Carolina where children, families, and individuals have timely access to the support and services they need to thrive.
We’re thrilled to be welcoming Chase Hughes, world-renowned human behavior expert, best-selling author, behavior analyst, and human intelligence pioneer, to the Destination 2026 stage.
Known for his work decoding human behavior, nonverbal communication, motivation, and the subtle cues that reveal what people may not say out loud, Chase brings a unique perspective that goes far beyond the ordinary keynote.
As a core member of The Behavior Panel and a featured expert on platforms including Discovery Channel and National Geographic, Chase has captivated audiences around the world with his insights into the human condition.
At Destination 2026, he’ll challenge us to look differently at behavior, communication, trauma-informed de-escalation, implicit bias, and the ways we understand the people we serve.
And the experience doesn’t end when he leaves the stage. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet Chase, take photos, receive an autograph, and participate in a special book signing.
This is more than an opening keynote. It’s the beginning of an experience you won’t want to miss.
The stage is set. Your seat is waiting. Register today and join us at Destination 2026!

We’re bringing a piece of North Carolina’s heritage to the stage at Destination 2026!
For generations, the mountains of North Carolina have echoed with the rhythms of old-time and bluegrass music; where dance is more than performance, it’s tradition, storytelling, and community.
This year, we’re proud to welcome the J Creek Cloggers! This group blends clogging, flatfoot, and square dancing into a dynamic, unified style. Every step reflects history, culture, and the spirit of Appalachia.
Get ready to experience rhythm in motion. Register today: https://www.accelevents.com/e/destination-2026
