August 26 to 28, 2026 · Omni King Edward Hotel, Toronto
Three days in Toronto with founders, agency owners, and operators who are actually building. Nine talks. Two hours of roundtables where you sit down with the person who has already solved your problem. A mixer to open it and a yacht to close it.
Fourth year running. The first three sold out.

What you actually get
You have been to the conference where you take eleven pages of notes, collect forty business cards, and open none of them. That happens because the format is built for an audience. This one is built for people who are supposed to talk to each other.
Two hours on Thursday afternoon. Every table has a number, a name, and a topic on it. You pick the table that matches the thing keeping you up: paid acquisition, retention, hiring, delegation, content, ops. You sit down with an operator who has already solved it and you ask directly.
Bring your actual numbers. People do.
Every speaker is currently running the company they are talking about. Creative strategy, hiring A players, AI, YouTube as a sales channel, scaling an agency, and a founders panel with three people who built theirs from nothing.
The mixer runs 7 to 10 Wednesday night. Happy hour runs 6 to 9 Thursday with an open floor, a bar, and passed food. That is six unscheduled hours across three days, on purpose. Nobody has ever closed a deal from row four.
Agency owners. Ecommerce operators. SaaS founders. Creators who turned an audience into a business. Consultants. Most of the room is doing between $500K and $10M, and 79% are founders.
You do not need to be the biggest business here. You do need to be running one.

Attendee perspective
Partners + Key Hires Found
“One of my favourite events I've attended. I closed one client, got five strong leads, and I was only there for half the day. On top of that, I met some incredible entrepreneurs.”
StevenFounder, Creo Social“This room is always filled with great entrepreneurs. It's one of the few events where the audience is actually present and engaged. I've met partners and hired people I connected with in the room.”
TarunFounder, Arcady Media“I've been a speaker, sponsor, and attendee — and at every level, it's been valuable for me and my company. I'm always impressed by Splash and the room he brings together.”
Dylan BlyussFounder, Publish Experts“The quality of speakers is genuinely shocking in the best way. I've attended every event and each time I'm blown away by how generously everyone shares. You always leave with something valuable.”
AidanFounder, Tactly Media“I've been part of a lot of masterminds and events, but for the price, Splash brings unmatched value. You get direct access to top industry leaders, and the room they curate is always on point.”
Jordan BazouziFounder, Nu Reach Media“I've been to every Elite Entrepreneurs event so far, and each one has delivered — both in topics and the quality of people in the room.”

The VIP day
VIP is the difference between attending the summit and being inside it.
Thursday, while everyone else breaks for lunch, you eat with the speakers who just came off stage. Not near them. At the table. Double drink tickets at happy hour.
Then Friday. The doors close and the room gets small.
Hot seats. Your business goes on the board and the room pulls it apart. What is working, what is stuck, what you should stop doing. You bring the real bottleneck, not the polished version.
A working session. Not a talk. You leave with a decision made, not notes to review.
Dinner with the speakers, plus direct introductions to the operators you actually want to know. We make those introductions on purpose.
Then at 6 you board the Yankee Lady. Open bar the whole way, casino tables running, three hours on the harbour with the people who spent the entire day inside your business.
