About Event

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 & 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 Chief Customer Officer, Comfrt.
