About this Event

ARE YOU READY

The world and your audience are shifting fast. The algorithms, attention spans, and expectations that worked in early 2024 are already fading. The question is: are you adapting fast enough?

Before 2026 arrives, this gathering will help you sharpen your intuition, decode the patterns in your business, and make the critical marketing pivots that decide whether you scale or stall.

Join us for an energetic evening of insight, strategy, and networking, designed to help business leaders align intention with intelligent action before the year ends.


Agenda

• Market Outlook

Valeria Perepeliuk, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, provides a timely update on current trends shaping markets and consumer behaviour heading into 2026.

• Financing & Growth Access

Sarah MakHOMEt CEO, an insider’s view on the latest developments in small business loans and funding opportunities for 2025–2026.

• Marketing Essentials for 2026

Che Marville, CEO & Chief Strategist at Wisemindly Media, discusses how to integrate intuition, storytelling, and AI insights to strengthen your marketing and brand narrative.

• 60-Second Spotlights

Every attendee will have the chance to deliver their elevator pitch, build visibility, make meaningful connections, and expand their network.


What You’ll Learn

🔥 The five essential shifts in marketing before 2026

🧠 How to use intuition as data, what your instincts already know about your market

📊 Why most small businesses misread their metrics (and how to see real growth)

💬 The new psychology of connection: what’s truly converting in the attention economy

💡 The key questions to ask yourself and your audience before year-end

You’ll leave with a mini business audit plan, clarity on what to stop doing, and a renewed strategy to lead confidently into 2026.


Who Should Attend

Entrepreneurs, founders, consultants, and creative professionals who want to:

  • Refresh their brand story
  • Build smarter funnels (not louder ones)
  • Combine data, intuition, and AI-driven creativity to scale impact

Why You Can’t Miss This

This isn’t another “how to post more” event.

It’s a strategic, human conversation about the next chapter of marketing built around authenticity, technology, and purpose.

Join us before the holidays and head into 2026 with clarity, connection, and concrete tools to grow.

Seats are limited. Once we hit capacity, registration will close.
