Chicago: SDR Leaders of USA Meet up
The 2026 SDR Capacity Blueprint: How Top Teams Plan, Model & Scale
About the Event
Most SDR teams struggle with capacity planning because no one has perfect data, but great leaders do have one thing in common: they learn from each other.
This meetup brings together SDR leaders from across the community to openly compare notes on how they plan headcount, set realistic targets, design coverage models, and forecast SDR output for 2026.
No presentations. No slide decks.
Just real operators sharing real numbers, frameworks, and what’s actually working on the ground.
What We’ll Cover Together
How different teams structure their SDR capacity models
How leaders calculate rep productivity, coverage ratios, and meeting requirements
Benchmarks for meetings, SALs, and pipeline creation going into 2026
How teams adjust their model based on territories, ICP focus, inbound/outbound mix
Where capacity models typically break, and how other leaders avoid those pitfalls
Open discussion: share your own model (or challenge) and learn from the room
What Makes This Different
This isn’t a lecture.
The value comes from the people in the room; comparing approaches, challenging assumptions, and helping each other build more accurate, scalable models.
You’ll walk away with:
• New ways to structure your capacity model
• Benchmarks from peers in similar markets
• Real clarity you can take back to your CRO or leadership team
• A stronger network of operators solving the same problems
If you want sharper thinking and better inputs for your 2026 SDR plan, this session will deliver it.
