QUESTIONS

When is Summit Napa Valley?

October 12–14, 2026. Arrival and check-in begin at lunch on October 12th. Programming runs through the 14th, with departure in the early afternoon that day.

Where is it held?

The Meritage Resort and Spa, 875 Bordeaux Way, Napa, California 94558—approximately 90 minutes from San Francisco International Airport, 75 minutes from Oakland International Airport and 60 minutes from Sacramento International Airport.

What should I bring?

Layers for October evenings in wine country, comfortable shoes for vineyard walks and outdoor programming and casual evening wear for dinners. This is Summit—come as you are. No suits required.

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 attendees arrive without knowing a single person. The entire experience is built around connection—curated dinners seat you with people you should meet, topic-based meetups cluster by interest and the community welcomes newcomers like family.

Can I attend alone?

Absolutely. Solo attendees often have the most transformative experiences. The programming ensures you are never standing alone with a drink wondering who to talk to.

Is this a conference or a vacation?

Neither—this is a Summit gathering! We combine world class speakers with the deep connection of a retreat, the energy of a music festival, culinary delights and the kind of unpredictable fun that only happens in Napa Valley.
