The Anti-Conference
For Scaling Founders

The Anti-Conference For Scaling Founders

As Featured In...

Welcome to the underground haven for founders & CEO’s! This community unites visionaries across industries, offering exclusive events and a deeper, annual membership for nurturing long-term professional and personal growth.

If you are in the pivotal 5-25 million grow & scale phase, if you’ve transitioned from the initial hustle of entrepreneurship to that of strategic leadership, if you want to have good times with other founders, cut lightyears off your learning curve, and grow financially…

Then join us on Hilton Head Island, where southern hospitality meets business brilliance, without the status games. Think mouth-watering food, fantastic music, zero celebrities, and content & conversations with real folks doing real business.

“I’m the guy that hates masterminds…I swore them off as not my scene, and didn’t like the vibe & being constantly pitched. I was really resistant to coming here...but this is hands down the best event of any kind that I’ve ever been to. The food, the people, the content…my head is about to explode with all the ideas I have. I’m a convert.”

“I was worried before I came to this conference that it would be a bro-fest, but I have been so pleasantly surprised. Not only at the sheer number of women, but at the quality of those women. Every single one that I have met is a badass in her own right. So many people who are amazing at what they do and who are also totally willing to say what they’re not good at - and that is so refreshing.”

"It’s the most direct way to get where I want to go. I can keep going to these traditional conferences and try to learn specific stuff or I can just go directly to Baby Bathwater and be with people that have done what I want to do and connect with them and learn directly from them. Just ask them ‘hey this is where I'm at, I want to do this, how do I do that’ and they'll tell me in like three seconds."

BABY BATHWATER FLAGSHIP EVENTS

YOUR PORTAL TO NEXT LEVEL GROWTH

Our flagship events are a chance to break out of your shell, supercharge your network, hit that pressure release valve, and return home recharged with some actionable takeaways from 18+ content sessions and countless life-altering convos. There will be ~200 guests at this Hilton Head Flagship, including both Members and newcomers.

You’ll be surrounded by:

Like-minded peers who genuinely understand your journey and are willing to help
Content & conversations that will cut lightyears off of your business growth
Support & energy to carry out your lofty ambitions

But space is extremely limited: We launched this event exclusively to our Members in April ‘24, and are thrilled to report they have already snatched up over half of the available tickets. The remaining spots have now been opened to the Non-Members. Demand is high, with over half of the tickets already spoken for and the remaining spots are going fast. We STRONGLY suggest you take action to avoid a most severe case of FOMO.

"I had high expectations and they've been blown out of the water. If you’re lucky enough to get asked or invited…give them your money before they figure out you probably shouldn’t be there, because that’s how I feel. So if you have the chance, get the application form done, show up, ask lots of questions, be a good person and things will happen.

“Never could I have ever imagined that doing business with people could be THIS fun. Yes, you'll get tremendous value professionally, but the people you meet - that's the gold."

"As an entrepreneur it's tough to find your tribe. I feel strongly this whole community espouses my beliefs around entrepreneurship, creating value, authentic convos...it’s a catch-all for me. When it comes to pushing the edge inside of your industry it can be difficult to find people that want to pioneer and develop new concepts...at bbw this is what happens.”

Our guestlist is a highly-curated melting pot of brands, services, investors, mentors, thought leaders and up-and-comers. This special stew will catalyze growth and leave you filled to the brim with the energy, support, and relationships needed to carry out your lofty ambitions.

NO PITCHING ALLOWED!

This event is your safe, pitch-free place to grow. No one’s gonna ask you to sign up or buy anything. The person you sit next to at lunch won’t try to recruit you or give you the hard sell.

Along with never being pitched and never being asked to open your wallet… this also means that all your other inhabitants are more comfortable kicking back and getting real here than anywhere else.

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

“It saves you like TEN YEARS of networking being a part of this thing."

"We can't afford NOT to be a part of it. We've never been part of a business community where people go out of their way to help for no reason at all...and our business has skyrocketed as a result of this group. Key hires, marketing, partnerships, brand vision...it's an invaluable wealth of knowledge and support."

“You literally have a direct line to figuring out exactly the steps you need to take to reach the goals that you're trying to create in your business.”

“I’ve been in business for over three decades and started six organizations in health and sustainability. We’ve run dozens of events and I’ve participated in hundreds, including some very high end masterminds. I must say that my experience with Baby Bathwater stands at the top: not only do I love the other members, the hosts, the venues and the food, but it rocks my soul, boosts my spirit and teaches me high ROI business processes and methods.”

"It is like nothing I have ever attended or been a part of. An amazing life changing experience. There were over 100 entrepreneurs who gathered to share, learn, have fun and engage. The BBW Crew provided the best food, drink, music and venue. I am so thankful for the friends I met and the knowledge I gained. It is truly special."

“I conservatively think my return on investment so far is no less than 40X. The worry I had was, ‘Damn I'm old. What will I possibly be able to share with these crazy, smart, young people?’ But when I am watching the sunrise on Friday morning with new friends for life I am passionate about, I knew it was the first day of the rest of my life. The people, the food, the resort, the content, the growth, the MUSIC. Damn, I wish I was back there…”

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…

“BBW was easily the best mastermind and networking event that we have ever attended. The fact that everyone in attendance was so heavily vetted and verified by the BBW curators made the event far more productive and enjoyable. We didn’t have to worry about anyone trying to sell us on something, or waste our time with self-serving agendas. The collective brain power and creativity of the attendees allowed us to learn some great things, and most importantly, make incredible connections that have already taken our business to the next level. BBW is a home run both personally and professionally.”

“It's gold wrapped in gold, wrapped in humor, wrapped in gold. This is so fun and so valuable.”

“Full of dangerous animals who are at the top of their game. Intimidating at times, profoundly helpful, and refreshingly weird. I came away from the last member’s event with a simple tactic that boosted our monthly revenue and transformed the experience of our users. Not bad for a whiskey fueled weekend!”

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 put on your adventure hat and go on a sailing adventure on one of the Hobie Cats available. 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.

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.

“This is where I take my business to the next level.
