The kind of rooms you want to be in this summer aren’t always advertised. While everyone else is talking about rooftop happy hours and co-working retreats, the top 1%, including funders, founders, family offices, and C-suite decision-makers, are attending invite-only or exclusive, ultra-curated investor gatherings. These aren’t just events; they’re ecosystems. And getting into even one of them can shift the entire trajectory of your year. (or life!)

This list isn’t about flex, it’s about access. We’ve mapped out the key gatherings where high-level conversations are taking place, checks are being written, and partnerships are being formed in real-time. Whether you’re building something big, raising capital, or just trying to level up your network beyond surface-level connections, these are the spaces where it happens.

Summer 2025 is your window. Let’s get you in the room.
