Not just another conference

Elite Growth Summit is an annual, invitation-only gathering for CROs and CMOs from high-growth B2B companies to connect authentically, share openly, and navigate the AI revolution together.

Luxury Experience

No expense or detail spared. The setting is as remarkable as the leaders who'll be there. Prepare to be spoiled. All costs and expenses are covered for guests (flights excluded).

October 13th-15th

Fly in on the 13th and join us for the welcome activities and open dinner. The 14th will be a full day of content, thought leadership and deep-dive conversations. Guests depart on the 15th.

User-generated content

Keynotes, panels and small group breakout sessions will be facilitated by our esteemed guests, cohost and sponsors. No one in this group wants to sit through 2 days of content. Instead let's go deep on topics that are top of mind. No vendor pitches.

Exclusive Community

A highly intentional community building opportunity for exceptional leaders to connect authentically and share openly.

The Venue:
The Estate Yountville

A 22 acre property at the heart of Napa Valley. This is a peak wine country setting with five-star hospitality.
