Overview

Each year, the Nantucket Conference brings together a small group of creative and forward-thinking entrepreneurs, investors, technologists, and executives. There are several reasons why the Nantucket Conference is a must-attend gathering.

First, there are unique opportunities for exchanging ideas and networking in a relaxing, informal environment. We acknowledge that much of the value of attendance comes from impromptu hallway conversations, serendipitous seatings at lunch, and casual walks in a unique setting

Second, sessions at Nantucket elicit the kind of real-world war stories and insight that you don’t hear at any other conference. We limit the use of PowerPoint and forbid blatant company pitches. Also, since there is precisely no difference in the caliber of people on stage and those in the audience, there is always plenty of opportunity at each session for interaction and debate.

Third, we are a group of founders helping founders. People dedicated to the ideas that change the world and create great companies.

Not your cookie-cutter conference.

Finally, this isn’t an event produced by a conference company that churns out dozens of cookie-cutter events each year. Our program is organized by a group of people — our Advisory Board — who actually work in the technology space every day.

We are about bringing together the people who are dedicated to the ideas that change the world and create great companies. It is a community of founders helping founders.

If you’ve attended the Conference before, we’d like to invite you back. If you haven’t, we invite you to find out what makes the our community so special. But no matter which group you’re in, we suggest that you register early, as we are strictly limiting the size of the event, and the vast majority of last year’s attendees indicated that they plan to return.

Other Programs
In addition to the annual Nantucket Conference, there are occasional opportunities to bring together a subset of the participants to delve further into a given topic through dinner programs and other gatherings.  Past topics have included “Accelerating Growth through Culture, Recruiting and Retention” and our “Table for Twelve” Dinner Series.

For more information about any of these programs or if you have an interest in gathering a select group of industry influencers around a specific topic, please contact us.
