Explore an island on Adventure Day (9/13) with an intimate group of adventurous minds to connect with and share the love of the great outdoors. And, at least a third of our Session Days (9/14-15) are spent in nature finding purpose with new and old friends. Come as you are, wild or mild — there’s something here for you.

FAQS

Got questions?
We've got answers (or we just make stuff up).

WHY SHOULD I JOIN ONLINE?

The future is online, maaaan. Come dip your toes in the changemaking scene with our free registration option or dive right into the full shebang that offers more networking opportunities, teachings from masterminds, and the chance to share your ideas with leaders in all fields.

WHY SHOULD I COME IN PERSON?

You shouldn’t. There’s no way you’ll enjoy the crisp Vermont air, beautiful mountains, and incredible local sugar boilers, artisan breadmakers, cheese magicians, and beer geniuses. You won’t be impressed by the burgeoning tech & impact investment scene. You absolutely will not connect with world-class leaders across a range of disciplines. Why do anything with your life?

ARE THE “WILD OUTDOOR EXPERIENCES” FOR ME?

Yup. We make sure people of all abilities, interests, and skill levels have a great time. We got you.

WHERE WILL I STAY?

We’re partnered with two of our fav Vermont hotels. Make sure to lock in your reservation by 8/1 to secure the See Change rate. Reserve here: Hotel Vermont | Marriott Burlington Harbor.

WHAT ABOUT COVID?

You must be fully vaccinated (and boosted if your single dose J&J or second dose Pfizer vaccine was administered more than 3 months ago).

IS THERE A DRESS CODE?

Nah, you’re good.
