The Summit is a 3 day event that culminates on September 1, 2026 in downtown Asheville for a full day of networking, education and connection. Plan to spend the full day! And if you want more, there is a FREE Kickoff Party on August 30th, and an exclusive VIP dinner on August 31st. Reach out or check back for details.  

The Asheville Business Summit is for individuals at all levels of business....owners/founders, team members, and anyone looking to connect and grow. Come alone and be ready to meet just the people you've been looking to meet. Come with your whole team, and use the day as a team-building springboard for boosting success in your organization. You do NOT have to live in Western North Carolina to benefit from this event, so plan a trip to our beautiful mountains and stay for the Summit!

Yes! And in fact, it's encouraged. Your company will benefit if your whole team attends.

Heck no — all are welcome! Growth and inspiration cross borders. This event takes place in Asheville, celebrates the brilliance that exists in Western North Carolina, and is designed to be a catalyst for everyone. Take everything you learn home with you and share it with others. Use it as an excuse to visit our incredible community — we’ll have hotel discounts available if you plan to travel.

The VIP Dinner takes place the night before the Summit's Main Event (August 31, 2026). It's a smaller group for higher-level networking.  Dinner will be held at one of Asheville's iconic and beautiful venues. This is a separate ticketed event, and NOT included in the price of the Main Event. Tickets will go fast so get yours early. 

Yep!  We will have discounted rooms available from one of our hotel partners downtown.
