About Us

We are hosts at heart. We enjoy gathering the kindling and setting the perfect conditions for sparks to fly in and around the hearth. We believe when you add the right people, at the right time, in the right setting, pure magic can happen.
After over a decade of crafting experiences that helped executives go after the impossible — from raising capital to recruiting top industry talent and establishing inspiring new partnerships — we were ready to focus our love of shaping transformational conversations into something of our own.
So, we founded ‘The Gathering’, a retreat series designed to spark actionable insights through connection.
We can’t wait to welcome you to one of our signature experiences or help you to create one tailored to your needs.
