â– Uncommon Events · in person, coming soon

Meet the founders building what you are building, in person.

Uncommon Events are entrepreneur events that put you in the same place as founders at your stage. They range from a single evening in your city to a few days away with a small group.

Hear true stories from founders at an evening meetup.

Uncommon Salons are story nights in cities around the world. A few speakers tell the true version of how they built an uncommon life, and the conversation carries on afterward with founders who are doing it or about to.

  • Salons start as single evenings and grow into a regular series in each city.
  • Tickets are around $25.
  • You can apply to host one in your own city once the first few have run.

Once a year

Join the annual conference where every speaker runs a business.

Uncommon Summit is the annual gathering of founders who built a business on their own terms and took it wherever they wanted. Every speaker runs the business they talk about.

  • The Summit happens once a year, in a city worth building a trip around.
  • The speakers are owners and operators.
  • Tickets go to the Summit list before they go anywhere else.

A few days away

Spend a few days building alongside a small group.

Uncommon Retreats are themed retreats for solo founders, held several times a year in places worth the flight. Each one brings a small group together around 1 subject, with enough unscheduled time for the conversations that only happen in person.

  • Each group is small, and we choose it so the mix works.
  • Each retreat has 1 theme, with working time built into the schedule.
  • The Retreats list books first.
