September 16–17, 2026 · Harvard Faculty Club · Cambridge, MA
More details soon, but please hold the date.
Two days, roughly 50+ firm leaders, one question:
What does durable value look like when everything around the profession is shifting?
A working conversation among peers
The Summit brings together AE firm leaders, owners, developers, and educators; operators making the same decisions you are, at the same level. Sessions are built as dialogue, not presentation: crescent rounds in the Faculty Club’s dining rooms, not rows facing a podium.
The room is small on purpose. Roughly sixty-five seats, and they’re limited by the space itself. The value of these two days is the caliber of the people across the table, and that only holds if the table stays the right size.
AI adoption — what it changes, what it doesn’t, and how to move without chasing every tool.
Client expectations — buyers want different things than they did five years ago. What do you owe them, and what do you charge for it?
Pricing and practice structure — the business models the profession inherited weren’t built for this moment. What replaces them?
The leadership no tool can replace — judgment, trust, and the qualities that decide whether a firm endures.
This is for practitioners navigating change right now who want to be in a room where the thinking is honest.
