Amplify Summit + ST/Reunion'26

​Amplify Summit 2026

​3 Days. 300 Founders. Zero Noise.
January 18–20 · VEA Newport Beach

​Amplify Summit is where the fastest-growing brands in DTC, retail, and CPG come together — founders, operators, and creators who are done with the noise and ready for real connection.

​Hosted at VEA Newport Beach, this 3-day mastermind blends tactical learning, community, and golden hour social events that are curated to feel more like a college reunion than corporate conference vibe.

Built for founders by founders, we're redesigned the boring clout filled conferences and filled it with something new:

​the kind that clears your head,
recharges your brand-building energy,
and surrounds you with founders who get it.

​You’ll learn directly from the founders behind the brands shaping commerce today:
Anna Skaya (Basepaws, $90M exit) · Kent Yoshimura (Neuro, Red Bull F1 partner) · Jay Hunter (MaryRuth’s, $100M+ growth) · Durana & Shahab Elmi (Cymbiotika, $200M+ wellness empire) · Jake Karls (Mid-Day Squares, Forbes 30U30) · Eric Skae (Carbone Fine Food, 25K+ retailers) · Kayleigh Christina (Clearstem Skincare, $50M DTC disruptor) · Sergio Tache (Dossier, Walmart’s #1 fragrance brand) · Alex Collis (ex–Princess Polly, global retail powerhouse)
