The In-Person Experience

Gather in the world-class destination of Banff, Canada. You'll rub shoulders and have real conversations with some of the most influential business, brand and marketing executives while experiencing three days of inspiration, application and celebration.
The In-Person Experience

The 11th Gathering Summit will take place on October 23-25, 2024.

This experience hosts over 1,200 of the world’s brightest minds and most eager business leaders, executives and entrepreneurs at the Fairmont Banff Springs. This iconic, 150-year-old castle-turned-hotel and conference centre is nestled deep within the stunning Canadian Rockies and was recently voted the #1 luxury hotel in the world.

Out-of-town attendees should fly in and out of Calgary, Alberta and take ground transportation 90 minutes to Banff. You can reference the discount code “Gathering2024” when booking your shuttle for 15% off Banff Airporter’s shuttle service from Calgary to Banff!

What can I expect from the in-person experience?

3 Days. 50+ Sessions. 20+ Signature Masterclasses. Award-winning Brands. 10 + Night Gatherings. New Connections.

More than a summit or conference, The Gathering provides dozens of intimate learning sessions and highly interactive forums. The event exists for:

Inspiration: Dozens of leaders from the world’s most adored brands candidly share their lessons and teach attendees how to foster mutually beneficial customer and employee relationships.  You’ll leave The Gathering feeling inspired to take action in your business in a new way.

Application: Expert enablers help attendees learn how best to apply the principles and concepts gleaned from the world’s biggest and best brand leaders. You and your team will feel equipped with the practical and actionable next steps to take. 

Celebration: Our community honors the best of the best and recognizes and rewards the fantastic efforts of individuals tasked with creating or growing the world’s most beloved brands. From our Brand Hall of Fame induction, CULT Brand Awards and evening community gatherings you’ll have a chance to celebrate and connect with speakers, honourees and attendees.

Who Attends the Gathering In-Person?

The Gathering welcomes everyone – global brands, agencies, Marketing teams, HR professionals, business leaders and entrepreneurs from all-sized companies. Industries in attendance include Marketing, CPG, Tech, Sales, Financial, Media and more.

The common thread amongst the attendees isn’t our company or category; it’s our ambition. Our attendees refuse to settle for the status quo and want to display more extraordinary courage and creativity in building companies people actually give a damn about.

 

Where can I stay?

The Gathering is held in the Conference Centre at the iconic Fairmont Banff Springs, a 150-year-old castle converted into what Travel Awaits just named the top luxury hotel in the world – and it sells out very quickly each year! Guests are encouraged to book any remaining rooms immediately.

Guests desiring to stay within the Fairmont may also upgrade All Access passes to VIP tickets, which include 3-nights’ accommodations within the hotel. Email Reilly@cultgathering.com. Note: upgrades are allowed only while room inventory lasts.

Our Story
The Gathering was born in 2014 out of a bold desire from brands and business leaders to celebrate more than mass-media campaigns, typical award shows and mainstream marketing concepts.
“The world doesn’t need another conference. We need to Gather. Connect. Be there for each other. We’ve created a powerful and safe space for those who crave belonging and human connection. We’ve evolved this experience to go far beyond your business goals, but inspire you to look inward as a leader and human being.”
Ryan Gill
Chairman & Co-Founder
