6 answeredChatham Conference 2026 took place October 7–8, 2026.
It was held at Chatham Bars Inn in Chatham, MA, on Cape Cod.
The organizer describes attendees as a curated group of investors and innovators.
It was most useful for CEOs and other C-level leaders of high-growth companies and for angel or institutional investors, since the program was open to those groups and the speakers were billed to include venture partners such as Drew Volpe of First Start Ventures and Brian Devaney of Underscore VC alongside founders like Sam King of Nasuni. Early-stage founders without a funded company, or people seeking a broad trade-show style event, would have gotten less from a curated two-day gathering at a single inn on Cape Cod.
Cape Cod in October is cool and breezy, so layers are sensible, and the VIP dinner in downtown Chatham may have pushed some attendees toward a slightly sharper outfit.
