No. While many attendees are Arena members, this event is open to qualified business owners who are a strong fit for the room. If you’re a business owners doing between $500k–$20M in revenue and value honest conversation over hype, you’ll fit right in.

Founders and operators actively building real businesses, typically between $500k and $20M in annual revenue. You’ll be in the room with owners navigating hiring decisions, growth challenges, profitability questions, and leadership complexity (not aspiring entrepreneurs or theory-driven consultants).

No. There will be no pitches from the stage and no hidden upsells. We do partner with a small number of sponsors who align with our community, but you won’t find a tradeshow floor or aggressive booths. The Growth Summit is designed for clarity, connection, and meaningful conversation. If you’re exploring The Arena, you’re welcome, but the day itself is built for value, not selling.

That’s completely normal, and honestly, part of the point. The day is intentionally structured to make connection natural: curated table conversations, small-group breakouts, and interactive sessions. You won’t be left standing alone in a corner making awkward small talk.

Because seating is limited and the room is curated, tickets are non-refundable. If something unexpected comes up, you may transfer your ticket to another qualified business owner with advance notice. We encourage you to register when you’re confident you can attend.
