​After last years' inaugural edition, the Upside Club Annual Retreat is back with a 2026 edition!

​During the day, expect unfiltered conversations with fellow founders, a curated Upside Club-style lunch, a special keynote and… a surprise! 😎

​At night, the Full-Experience ticket will allow you to join a private moment around a fire pit in the forest followed by an exclusive dinner.

This year, we are lucky to have the support of:
• Remote, the global HR and payroll engine for growing teams.
• Globalfy, an all-in-one platform that simplifies doing business in the US.

As our trusted media partner, Unset Studio will be covering the event. And, for the first time ever, we'll be able to offer you some premium merch thanks to our friends at Assembly.
