SLIF is…
Invite-only
Those who attend are handpicked especially for the retreat. These are the people you want to spend time with.
Intentionally intimate
Limited to 250 people so it’s casual, laid back and conducive to the birth of new ideas.
Off the beaten path
Away from the stress and mundanities of your day-to-day, closer to a new perspective.
IT’S HOW coming together WITH YOUR PEERS should feel like.
Wanna be part of this?
The Experience
PROVOCATIVE CONTENT
Through a mix of TED-style talks, fireside chats, and unfiltered discussions, big thinkers from inside and outside the industry will inspire you to challenge your assumptions. It’s not just panel after panel.
AUTHENTIC NETWORKING
True connection happens when people are able to be themselves. From jeep tours in Palm Desert to live band karaoke to a BBQ at Frank Sinatra’s Palm Springs estate… this is networking unlike anything you’re used to.
VENDOR MATCHMAKING
SLIF partners with a selection of carefully curated vendors. Review ahead of time, then schedule pre-planned, 20-minute 1:1 meetings with only those you want to meet with. No more wandering trade show floors and dodging sales pitches.
DEEP DIVE ROUNDTABLES
You know this: great ideas come from candid, open conversations. Join small group discussions where you can share and learn with your peers. Real conversations about the biggest challenges you’re all facing.
