The audience is described as bold, unconventional leaders, including entrepreneurs, founders and investors.
It is most useful for founders, entrepreneurs and investors who value small-group conversation over a packed exhibit hall, since the three-day gathering at The Meritage Resort and Spa was scheduled to pair founder talks, such as Justin's Nut Butter and Geek Squad, with sessions on AI-driven leadership and money and legacy. Solo attendees were expected, so it suits those wanting connections rather than tactical training; specialists seeking technical depth or vendors seeking leads would get less from it, and the venue is 60 to 90 minutes from the main airports.
Attendees at founder retreats at wine country resorts usually wear smart casual, such as chinos, nice jeans, dresses or blazers, with a layer for cool Napa evenings in October.
