Academic CEO Summit
You Got the PhD. Now Let's Build the Empire.
The first-ever convening for scholars turning their expertise into enterprises. Two days. One room. Zero excuses.
April 2027 ยท Atlanta, GA
CLAIM YOUR SEAT โYou Were Trained to Publish. Not to Profit.
Nobody handed you a syllabus for this part.ย
You know how to defend a dissertation, survive a study section, and teach a room full of undergrads without losing your voice by Friday. But building a business? Pricing your genius? Turning your research into revenue without apologizing for it?
That wasn't in the curriculum. The Academic CEO Summit exists for the PhD who's done waiting for an invitation. You've got the credentials, the expertise, and the itch to build something that's actually yours.
This is where that itch becomes a plan and the plan becomes a room full of people who get it, because they're building too.
Who This Is For
The tenure-track professor quietly building a consulting practice on the side
Anyone tired of explaining, in academic jargon, why their work matters โ and ready to just sell it
The postdoc who's ready to bet on herself instead of the next fellowship
The PhD-turned-founder who's done Googling "how to price a keynote"
Introducing The Content Lab
Nobody handed you a syllabus for this part.ย
Your research is good. Does anyone outside your field know that? The Content Lab is a brand-new third day, added on to the original two-day Summit, built entirely around turning your expertise into content that actually gets seen โ reels, talks, newsletters, media pitches, the works.
Spend the day writing, filming, and workshopping real content live, with real feedback from people who know what stops a scroll. You'll leave with finished pieces in hand, not just a plan to make them someday. The Content Lab is an optional add-on to the Summit โ not included in the base ticket.
