Why founders attend

Direction you can deploy. Not another motivational deck.

01

What Dan won’t post publicly

The moves behind running AI across a whole portfolio of companies — the ones most operators keep to themselves.

02

Know your next AI move

Stop guessing which tools matter. Leave with a map of where AI actually creates leverage in your business.

03

See it built live

Agents and workflows from real 8- and 9-figure companies, built on stage. Not slides.

04

Leave with deals, not contacts

The conversations here turn into partnerships, capital, and hires. Your next move is one seat away.

05

Rebuild your org chart

Who to hire, who to automate, and what every role on your team looks like 18 months out.

06

Move your valuation

Funding, scaling, exiting — stage-relevant answers from operators who’ve actually done it.

The problem

You didn't build this to be this busy.

The calendar is full, the team keeps growing — and somehow every decision still routes through you. The business is winning on paper and eating you alive in real life, because the only way you’ve ever grown is by working more.

Meanwhile, the founders who cracked AI are quietly pulling away. Same headcount. Half the cost. Triple the output. And they’re not working weekends to do it.

The difference isn’t effort — you’re already maxed. It’s systems: knowing exactly where AI removes you from a process, where it replaces a hire, and where it 10×’s the person you already have.

You don’t need to work harder. You need the playbook from the people who already built it.

The promise

Where AI strategy meets execution.

We’re opening up our AI playbooks for you to use.

This isn’t a hype conference. No one’s going to tell you AI will “change everything” and send you home with a 90-slide deck you’ll never open.

If you want big talk, go to a webinar. If you want a deployable system, come to Kelowna.

Who this is for

Built for operators, not spectators.

From beginners to the most advanced users of AI in business — we’re giving you everything over two full days.

Founders

Ready to lead the shift

Who know AI is the next leverage point and refuse to be late.

Operators

Builds over buzzwords

Tired of “thought leadership” — they want builds, frameworks, and numbers.

CEOs

The right room, not a year of guessing

Who’d rather spend two days with the right 800 people than a year guessing.

The stage

Learn from the people who actually run Dan's companies.

Not theory from the sidelines — the operators building and running real 8- and 9-figure companies, on stage.

The room

Know the room. Pick your proximity.

The higher the tier, the closer to the stage — and to Dan.

Front Row — 40 seatsVIP — priority · 100 seatsGA — main floor · 665 seats

Illustrative layout — final seat arrangement may shift with sales; priority seating is always reserved for higher tiers.

Scarcity is real

It's a theatre, not an arena.

The Kelowna Community Theatre is an intimate room — when it’s full, the doors close. There is no virtual option.

Only 40 Front Row seats and 100 VIP seats exist — the dinners, the lunches, the access are capped on purpose, and when they’re gone, they’re gone for a year.

Questions

Before you book.

Most AI events are tool demos run by people who don’t operate companies. This is founders and operators showing you the systems running real businesses — built live on stage.

Yes. Everything is taught from the founder’s seat: what to deploy, who runs it, and what it’s worth. No code required.

Yes, while seats remain. Front Row and VIP are small rooms — upgrade early or they may be full.

Tickets are transferable. Bring your operators — the founders who attend with their team get the most out of it.

All ticket sales are final. Event recordings are included at the Front Row tier if your plans change.

Hotel and travel details are sent with your confirmation. Book early — Kelowna fills up in October.

In 18 months, every company in your space will be AI-native.

The only question is whether you led that shift or scrambled to catch it. Two days in Kelowna decides which.

The seats are real. The cap is hard. The room is filling.
