The smartest brands gather in NYC for one day to exchange real tactics, real deals, and data-backed strategies. No fluff. No sales. Just the top operators preparing to win Q4.
Past speakers include founders and executives who've built household-name brands. You'll hear how they structured offers, ramped paid media, and executed Q4 — with real numbers, not keynote theory.
Sessions cover offer architecture, budget ramps, email/SMS, CRO, and ops readiness — each with templates and checklists. Attendees say they implemented tactics the very next week.
Every seat is vetted. You're in a room of founders, CMOs, and growth leaders who've earned their spot — not a crowd of spectators. Swap playbooks, compare notes, and find people worth knowing before the holidays hit.
September 24 at NYC — timed so you lock your Q4 calendar, promo structure, and channel mix before BFCM. Past attendees say the tactics and connections alone were worth the flight.

Who is Q4 Summit for?

Q4 Summit is designed for DTC founders, CEOs, and senior marketing executives running brands with $10M+ in GMV and $250k+ monthly ad spend. We curate a highly vetted community of operators who are serious about scaling during the most critical quarter of the year.

Logistics

Where and when is the event?

The Q4 Summit will take place on September 24, 2026 in NYC. This exclusive two-day event is strategically timed to help you master the "Q4 Playbook" before the year's most critical quarter begins. Specific venue details will be shared directly with vetted attendees to ensure a high-level, private environment.

practical

Is there a refund policy?

All ticket sales for the Q4 Summit are final and non-refundable. Because we curate a highly vetted community and have limited capacity, we do not offer refunds. However, if you are unable to attend, you may transfer your ticket to another qualified operator or team member within your organization, provided they meet our vetting criteria.

practical

Can I sponsor Q4 Summit?

We are always looking to partner with industry-leading service providers who offer genuine value to our high-level community of DTC founders and CEOs.
