How to Leverage Live Digital Events to Accelerate Growth, Revenue & Opportunities in the AI Economy

November 18–19, 2026 | Live Virtual Experience

Stop Waiting for Opportunities. Learn How to Bring the Right People Together and Create Them.

In today's AI economy, entrepreneurs can launch products faster, automate operations, and create content at unprecedented speed.

But here's what AI cannot replace: the power of human relationships, trusted communities, and purposeful leadership.

What if your next customer, corporate partnership, investor introduction, or business opportunity came from a gathering you organized yourself?

For the first time, Global Startup Ecosystem (GSE) is launching the Entrepreneur of Influence Challenge, a two-day virtual experience designed to help entrepreneurs turn their expertise, products, and services into strategic live digital events that accelerate business growth.

Whether you're launching your first business, scaling an existing venture, or building a movement around a mission, this challenge will show you how to move beyond traditional networking and become an entrepreneur who creates opportunities.

THE TWO-DAY CHALLENGE
DAY 1 — NOVEMBER 18

Lead With Value: Entrepreneurship & Influence in the New AI Economy

The 10 Ecosystem Stakeholder Relationships That Will Define Your Success

The AI economy is changing how businesses compete, how customers discover solutions, and how entrepreneurs establish credibility.

Success will require more than adopting the latest technology. Entrepreneurs must learn how to position their expertise, build trust, and create value within the ecosystems they serve.

What You'll Learn:

• Why entrepreneurial leadership, trust, and relationships matter more than ever in the AI economy.
• How to position yourself as a valuable industry leader rather than simply another business competing for attention.
• The 10 essential ecosystem stakeholder groups that can influence your business growth.
• How to identify customers, investors, corporate partners, government institutions, industry leaders, and other strategic relationships.
• How to build an ecosystem around your business instead of relying solely on traditional networking and marketing.

Day 1 Challenge: Create your 10-Stakeholder Ecosystem Influence Map and identify the relationships most important to your next stage of growth.

DAY 2 — NOVEMBER 19

The Live Event Formula for Success

How to Turn Your Business, Product or Service Into a Strategic Digital Gathering That Generates Opportunities

You don't need a massive audience, a large budget, or a famous personal brand to host an influential event.

You need a compelling purpose, the right audience, a valuable offer, and a strategy to bring people together.

On Day 2, you'll learn how to leverage your existing expertise, products, and services to design a live digital event that attracts the right stakeholders and creates meaningful business opportunities.

What You'll Learn:

• How to turn your product, service, or expertise into a compelling live event concept.
• How to select the right format, including virtual roundtables, masterclasses, summits, expert panels, and industry briefings.
• How to position your event around a relevant problem that attracts customers and strategic stakeholders.
• How to develop your event title, agenda, invitation strategy, and registration experience.
• How to use AI to streamline event planning, outreach, and promotion.
• How to connect your event to a clear business offer, customer acquisition strategy, or partnership opportunity.
• How to turn one live gathering into ongoing relationships, revenue opportunities, and long-term business growth.

Day 2 Challenge: Develop your Signature Live Event Blueprint and a practical 30-day roadmap to launch your first strategic digital gathering.
