What Really Makes This Event Different?

The curation is real, the community is inviting, and the attention to detail is unmatched

All attendees are pre-vetted over a 45 minute interview call.

Things we don’t give a damn about:

✖️ How much money you make

✖️ If you are considered “a big deal”

✖️ Who you know

Now here is what we DO care about:

✔️ You’re a nice person—we’re from small towns and we’re pretty good at reading people

✔️ You’re a “giver,” not a “taker”

✔️ You have useful business skills… You know what you’re doing

✔️ You LOVE who you’re selling to… We call it the “Give a Shit” factor

✔️ You aren’t scamming people or doing anything unethical

✔️ You’re fun, easy to talk to, and self-reliant

THE VENUE

SUN, SAND, AND GOOD TIMES

We’ve snagged Hilton Head Island’s most coveted oceanfront resort all to ourselves.  The ultimate boutique retreat, delivering unmatched beach access and an ambiance that’s uniquely ours.

The property features 200+ spacious guest rooms, a newly renovated pool with poolside cabanas, multiple bars & dining areas, and a world-renowned beachfront music venue.

Nestled on the vibrant shores of Coligny Beach, you’ll revel in oceanfront views, rooms and suites designed with relaxation in mind, and front-row seats to breathtaking sunrises & sunsets, allowing you to recharge in coastal comfort.

We’ve got your animal pleasures right here.

Here, culinary delights meet southern coastal charm, featuring beachfront dining, fancy cocktail lounges, and the freshest catch at our doorstep.

Our boundless meal plan will have you covered from sun-up to sun-down, and anytime in between. Not to mention a seemingly endless open bar to ensure you and your new friends will never run dry.

Cheers to making new connections that last a lifetime…

Activities: Choose Your Own Adventure

At our events, we’re all about giving you options galore!  Craving some action? Dive into beach volleyball, paddle out with a board to ride the gentle waves just steps from the venue, or navigate the waters with kayaks at your leisure. For the land lovers, bikes are available to whisk you away on a coastal exploration, with the ocean breeze as your guide.

For those who lean towards zen, start your day with beach yoga and massage.  And when relaxation calls, our poolside cabanas await—recently upgraded with cozy lounge sofas, setting the stage for pure relaxation or intimate gatherings with friends.

Unlike other events, we do not have a strict schedule you must follow.  This is YOUR entrepreneurial adventure, tailored to mix business with pleasure, all on your own terms.

THE ENTERTAINMENT

A SHOT OF SOUL

Life is way too short for just learning stuff… so we’re cutting loose with live music across multiple genres every night.  Our venue is home to Hilton Head Island’s ONLY beachfront live music venue, and an iconic epicenter of live tunes for nearly five decades.

But we’re not talking about just any lineup. We’re bringing in the very best—artists who’ve rocked stages from Red Rocks to Madison Square Garden. And the best part? They’re all here exclusively for us, ready to turn beachfront vibes into unforgettable, intimate concerts each night of our event. These aren’t just performances; they’re immersive experiences, with artists who have been curated to join us not only as entertainers, but as true participants throughout the entire experience.
