  • Inside look at AI playbooks, tools and workflows behind Dan’s companies.
  • How the founders pulling ahead are actually deploying AI in every department.
  • Leave with the vision and method to solve your biggest bottlenecks with AI.

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 keep 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 10x’s the person you already have.

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

The room

One room. No overflow. No livestream.

The Kelowna Community Theatre holds what it holds. We can’t add rows, there’s no spillover space, and nothing gets streamed. Every seat that sells is a seat that’s gone.

CEO and VIP are capped on purpose. A private dinner stops being a private dinner past a certain number of people. When those tiers close, the only way in is the one below.

Questions

Before you join.

Tickets release to the waitlist before we announce anywhere else. Join and you’ll get the first email when seats open in September, along with presale pricing. Joining doesn’t commit you to anything.

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. CEO 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 CEO tier if your plans change.

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

In six 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.
