This is not a conference.

The structure is intentional—creating space not only to learn, but to ask questions, exchange ideas, and connect with others and genuinely be inspired.

A ROOM OF PEOPLE BUILDING, LEADING, AND GROWING

THE SUMMIT brings together a diverse mix of attendees—from founders and business owners to professionals, solopreneurs and small business owners—creating an environment where conversations feel relevant, engaging, and purposeful. 

A NOTE FROM AMY NICOLE COHEN

“My intention with THE SUMMIT has always been to create a space where people come together to learn, expand their business opportunities, and feel genuinely inspired—all while stepping out of the regular off day and into something more exciting.

I see it as a ripple effect—one decision to show up to an event, can lead to conversations, opportunities, and growth that extends far beyond the event itself.”
