Where Executives Become AI Leaders

You + AI.Amplified.

One weekend where senior executives don't just learn about AI, they leave with the mindset, tools, and techniques to be fundamentally amplified by AI.

The question isn't whether you understand AI.
It's whether you know what to do with it.

This isn't training. This isn't a conference. This is one weekend that gives you the clarity to lead, so you walk into every boardroom, every strategy session, every decision with a point of view that commands the room.

Our Promise

The Amplified Guarantee

Leave with a clear AI roadmap you’re confident presenting to your board—or we’ll refund your full investment.

This isn’t a conference where you collect ideas and hope something sticks. You’ll walk away with concrete frameworks, a personalized action plan, and the confidence to lead AI conversations at the highest level. If that doesn’t happen, you shouldn’t pay.

Frequently Asked

No. Amplified is designed for senior executives, not engineers. We don't teach you to build AI. We teach you to lead with it.

Three things: Intimacy (an intentionally small gathering, not a crowded conference), Intensity (two full days, not a half-day workshop), and Transformation (you don't leave with a certificate, you leave with a new way of thinking, working, and leading your team in an AI-first world).

A 90-day AI action plan for your organization. Frameworks for evaluating AI opportunities. A peer network of exceptional executives. And most importantly: the confidence to lead AI conversations.

We understand Amplified is a significant investment of time and energy for you. We are confident Amplified will be the highest value AI education experience you will participate in but if at the end of the experience you feel we have not met your expectations we will process a no-questions-asked full refund at your request.

Completely. No sponsors. No product pitches. No hidden agendas. Our only goal is your transformation.

Yes. You can upgrade from Amplified Exec to Signature, or from Signature to Partner, at any time before the event. You'll only pay the difference between tiers.

Everything. Accommodations for 2 nights, all meals and receptions, materials, and the full program. There are no hidden costs or surprise fees. The only thing not included is your travel to the venue.

Business Casual throughout the entire event, including all sessions, meals, and receptions.

Yes, please bring a laptop. You'll use it for note-taking and hands-on exercises during the program.

After you complete your registration, you'll receive an exclusive offer to add a colleague at 20% off any tier. This offer is valid for 7 days and applies to the same cohort you're attending.
