QUESTIONS
WHEN IS SUMMIT BASECAMP?
February 4–7, 2027. Four days and three nights in the mountains.
WHERE IS IT?
Lake Tahoe, California. Our alpine campus is nestled in the Sierra Nevada, approximately 3.5 hours from San Francisco and 1 hour from Reno-Tahoe International Airport.
DO I NEED TO SKI?
No. The mountain experience goes well beyond the slopes—snowshoeing, wellness sessions, fireside talks, workshops and culinary experiences all happen off-piste. Skiers and non-skiers have equally full days.
WHAT SHOULD I PACK?
Warm layers, waterproof boots, ski gear if you plan to ride (rentals also available nearby) and comfortable clothes for evening sessions. This is Basecamp—dress for the mountain, not the boardroom.
IS IT WORTH THE INVESTMENT?
Our members consistently describe Summit as delivering outsized returns—in business, relationships, perspective, ideas and opportunities that compound over years. The question isn’t whether you can afford to attend. It’s whether you can afford to miss this event.
WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW ANYONE?
Most people arrive solo. Every meal, activity and session is designed to connect you with people you should know. By day two, you’ll have a crew.
IS THIS A CONFERENCE?
No. It’s four days of world-class programming, outdoor adventure, live music, wellness and real human connection—in a setting that makes all of it better. There is no event quite like Basecamp.
