Onward Summit 2026 β Base Camp
Two days in the room with people who actually get what you're building. Let's grow the business side β together.
Here's the truth most of us don't say out loud: running a video business can be lonely. You're the creative, the salesperson, the bookkeeper, and the one lying awake wondering if you're charging enough.
Onward is three days in Michigan where you get to stop doing all of that alone. Base Camp is your seat in the room β both full days of sessions, real conversations, and the kind of problem-solving you can't get from another YouTube video. You'll sit alongside studio owners a few steps ahead of you and walk out with actual answers.
Base Camp gets you:
- β Both full days of sessions (Mon & Tue, Oct 5β6) β talks, workshops, and live problem-solving
- β A seat in every hot-seat conversation β where the room helps untangle real business problems, including the ones you didn't know you had yet
- β All meals during the event β breakfast, lunch, and snacks both days
- β The Sunday Opening Night Mixer β kick things off with the whole crew
- β The community β the people you meet here are the whole point
What a day actually looks like
You show up, grab coffee, and settle in with a room full of people who do what you do. Speakers share what's actually working. Then we open it up β someone takes the hot seat with a real challenge, and the whole room goes to work on it.
"There wasn't just learning for the person in the hot seat. There was learning for everybody in the room." β Jake Sturgis
"I didn't know exactly what I was hoping to get when I registered. But experiencing the community, the education, the mastermind and hot-seat opportunities β it's more growth than any experience I've had." β Wes Wages
Want the evenings too?
Base Camp is sessions and community. If you want the rest of the experience β session recordings to keep, Onward swag, and the Monday night group hangout (Bowling + Pizza) β that's Ascent. Get in the room first; you can always climb.

Most of the time, the BIGGEST thing you need to take your next crucial step forward isβ¦ perspective. That is the main thing I have taken away from the 3 Onward Summits Iβve attended. Just go!

I bought my Onward Summit tickets as soon as they went on sale. The way I see it is even if I leave with just one idea to implement, itβll pay for itself in one project. Plus itβs always great being around people who face the same kind of challenges youβre facing all the time.

I came home from Onward with a new-found passion, and two months later signed a $150,000 contract with a client Iβd pursued for years β this week we presented them an $820,000 retainer. Youβll walk away better, more enriched, with a passion for your business you maybe lost along the way.
