Kelowna is gearing up for one of the year's most anticipated events. On June 4 and 5, 2026, The Summit returns for its fourth year, evolving into a two-day Business and Leadership Festival built to spark real growth and meaningful connections.
Created by Amy Nicole Cohen, founder of The Chic Experience, The Summit is intentionally designed to move beyond the traditional conference model. Set across both indoor and outdoor stages, the event blends high-level content with curated experiences, creating a dynamic environment where learning, networking, and discovery happen simultaneously.
With 30+ speakers across two days, The Summit features a carefully curated lineup of panels, fireside conversations, workshops, and business dialogues focused on leadership, marketing, AI, systems, resilience, and growth.
Rather than passive listening, attendees are invited into meaningful conversations and practical sessions that deliver both insight and application. From navigating the realities of building a business to exploring emerging technologies and leadership strategies, each session is designed to provide real value that extends far beyond the event.

An experience we wanted to elevate, The Market, a vibrant, curated space featuring 20+ local and regional vendors offering a mix of products, services, and interactive activations.
Explore the vendors:
The Market is designed to complement the programming, encouraging discovery and support local businesses.
Beyond the stage, The Summit is defined by its attention to detail and commitment to creating a memorable experience.
From surprise activations to curated gifting, attendees can expect thoughtful touches throughout both days, adding an element of discovery and ensuring the experience feels as valuable as it is inspiring.
The Summit will conclude with a live outdoor performance by rising artist Dawson Gray, recently named BC Emerging Artist of the Year.
The closing concert is not just one day but both days, as this event is a celebration, bringing attendees together for two impactful days.
The Summit attracts a diverse audience of entrepreneurs, executives, small business owners, creatives, and professionals who are looking for more than inspiration, they are looking for connection, clarity, and momentum.
“This was built to be the kind of event people are genuinely excited to be part of,” says Amy Nicole Cohen. “An immersive, festival-style experience with a thoughtful cadence, balancing learning, meaningful connection, and real conversations, so you leave with clarity, momentum, and ideas you’re ready to act on.”
