-
How much does EntreLeadership Summit cost?
-
The truth is, pricing isn’t a one-size-fits-all deal. Different businesses have different needs. And the level of access, seating and resources you choose impacts the investment.
That’s why we don’t just slap a price tag on the website. Instead, we schedule a quick call to:
- Learn about your business, goals and budget
- Walk you through the best options based on your needs
- Make sure this event is actually worth your time and money

-

-
Are there breakout sessions at Summit?
-
Yes, Summit features breakout sessions tailored to two groups: business owners and leaders (like vice presidents, directors and managers).
You’ll start each day with a main session, then break out into role-specific sessions designed to address your unique challenges. Everyone will come back together for one more main session to close the day.
This format gives you the big-picture sessions that fire you up and focused sessions that go deeper so you leave with specific, actionable takeaways.
-
I don’t have time for a whole conference. Is there a shortcut?
-
Are you sure you don't have time? Seriously, if you could spend three days soaking up transformative leadership insights and save yourself from three years of banging your head against a wall, wouldn’t it be worth it? Just food for thought.
-
What does EntreLeadership mean?
-
It’s simple really. EntreLeadership combines all the best qualities of entrepreneurs and leaders. It’s the personal power of an entrepreneur polished and grown by a desire to be a quality leader. It’s great leadership with the passion and push of an entrepreneur. It means something more than a renegade lone ranger or a corporate bureaucrat. In a nutshell, it’s the business leader we all want to be.
