Words of Wisdom

What Attendees Are Saying

Austin Maxwell

“After attending the 'How To Actually Scale FB Ads' breakout session, we learned we were paying WAY too timidly & leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars (even millions) on the table. We took the lessons we learned in that session & it resulted in over $1M in additional revenue in Q4."

Tammy Rant

After attending the TikTok panel at the reunion and also seeing the success another brand that attended had with their post I decided to give it a go! So I posted this video on TikTok and it got 15.5 MILLION views and resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales and counting!"

"An epic event that far exceeded all expectations. I have been to meetings & shows for over 30 years, & what you pulled off ranks among the best I have seen! Perfect mix of business & social interaction, and the Shark Tank Alumni are the best as we have all experienced something that is very unique and powerful!"

Our Mission

At Amplify, we’re redefining how founders connect, learn, and grow. Traditional networking events can feel transactional, cliquish, or full of sales pitches. We’re changing that.

Set in high-end, immersive venues, entrepreneurs gain real strategies and meet like-minded innovators to amplify their brand, mind and network to the next level.

This isn’t just another networking event—it’s the future of founder experiences. Join us and experience the Amplify difference.

You won’t just listen to expert panelists and keynote speakers from afar—you’ll have the chance to network with them directly, ask questions, and gain deeper insights beyond their time on stage.

Vetted Sponsors, Real Value

Every sponsor is vetted and trusted by Shark Tank Alumni and top founders. No endless sales pitches—just genuine partnerships with brands that support entrepreneurs. And when they take the stage, they deliver real expertise and insights, not just a sales pitch.
