As AI takes on more of the admin, the part of your work that only you can do matters more every year. This is three days in-person with 100+ creators pursuing purposeful work.
Early-bird until January 1: in person from $397 · virtual $147
Tickets: in person from $497 · virtual $197
I went into it thinking I'd learn business tactics. What I got was a spiritual awakening.
Nothing about being in that room felt like networking. It felt more like being reunited with long-lost friends.
That was an experience of a lifetime, honestly one of the coolest and most valuable in-person things I've ever been to.
What it is
The people who come are building the new meaning economy: creators and one-person businesses working out how to earn a living without giving up their sense of deeper purpose.
01
Talks from people who've done the work
Live keynotes and panels from creators who built the thing they're talking about.
The inner transformation work as well as the social media strategy for successful brand construction.
02
Working sessions
Workshops you take part in, with your own work on the table, instead of another video to watch.
03
Long stretches of unstructured time
Shared meals, open blocks and late nights with people who believe your creative work matters.
Can't make the trip? A virtual ticket streams every session live and puts you in a chatroom with people joining from around the world.
A note from the founder
Jesse James Carver
Leading up to June 2026, a team of people and I got a hundred creators to fly to the little-known city of Abbotsford for three days together in one room, and watched it turn into what some said was the best event they'd ever been to. Watching it play out in real time, and seeing people enjoy it that thoroughly, was an epic experience. To those who came in 2026: it will mean the world to see you again. I intend to make it more than worth it once again. For the longer story of why this summit exists, and what else I'm building, read my letters at jesse.eden.so.

$3/month
Your first month is $1. Or $15/year, which pays for itself on a single ticket four times over.
Join the Alliance2026, the first summit
Nobody was asked to post about it. A lot of people did anyway.
The event pre-selected for people who value connection, immersion and depth. Many of us spent 24 hours travelling and/or hundreds of dollars just to be in the room. And the ROI was beyond anything we could've imagined.
Seeing all of the people I met and talked to over the past 2-3 years in one place was surreal. When I started writing 3 years ago, I didn't know anyone.
Extremely valuable presentation from the one and only Taylin John Simmonds... All about how creators can use ideas to grow and solve real-world problems.
