About Event

A full-day intensive with one of the most-followed creative business voices in the world. This is the event for the entrepreneur who is ready to stop trading time for money and start building something that scales.

Chris Do's one-on-one coaching has commanded $1,000 an hour. His full-day workshops tour six continents — and attending one typically means a plane ticket, a hotel, and days away from your business. On August 31, he's coming to Hawaiʻi. You get a full day, in the room, working on yours.

The workshop is structured in two halves.

The morning session focuses on value-based pricing, business mindset, leadership, and building a business that sees clearly and acts decisively, with live exercises, real examples, and direct Q&A.

The afternoon session applies Chris Do's frameworks directly to attendees' own businesses, so everyone walks away with a clear next step rather than just inspiration. The day closes with open Q&A, and networking.

About Chris Do:

Chris Do is an Emmy Award-winning director, designer, strategist, and educator. He is the Founder and CEO of The Futur, one of the most influential educational platforms for creative professionals and business owners in the world. The Futur has transformed how hundreds of thousands of people price their work, lead their teams, and grow their companies.

Chris has spoken at MIT, Adobe Video World, AIGA National Design Conference, Birmingham Design Festival, Graphika Manila, RGD Design Thinkers Toronto, and on stages across six continents. His firm's work has been recognized by the Emmys, Clios, Effie Gold, British D&AD, One Show, Communication Arts, Type Directors Club, Art Directors Club, New York Festivals, and more.

Chris teaches what most business owners were never taught: how to price your value, how to negotiate with confidence, how to build a business that does not depend on you running yourself into the ground, and how to lead with clarity and purpose.

Who's in the Room:

  • Hawaii-based founders and startup operators

  • Creative entrepreneurs and agency owners

  • Small and mid-size business owners ready to scale

  • Enterprise leaders and local executives

  • Designers, strategists, and marketing professionals

  • Real estate, retail, hospitality, and professional services operators

  • Local investors and ecosystem builders

Takeaways:

  • A framework for value-based pricing so you can stop competing on cost and start charging for the outcomes you deliver

  • Clarity on your business blind spots: both strategic (how you position and price) and operational (where you are losing time and money)

  • Chris Do's negotiation and client relations frameworks, applied directly to your own business during the afternoon session

  • Access to a curated network of Hawaii's most ambitious business owners, operators, and investors in one room
