Join us for this invite-only conference of peers to cultivate connection, spark collaboration, gain new insights and tools, and collectively evolve men’s work.
REGISTER NOWMen’s work is more important now than ever—it’s time to come together...
Â
Men and boys are suffering, and it’s time to find new and creative solutions to help them navigate the intense challenges in our modern world.
Too often, those of us working with men do so in isolation—each forging our own path—when in reality, our collective wisdom and collaboration could create far greater impact.
The Big Tent Summit will be the essential space to connect, collaborate, and elevate the collective mission of helping men grow, evolve, and thrive.
For too long we’ve lacked a central gathering—a place to share ideas, celebrate successes, and move the conversation forward... Â
Â
Together, we’ll create a unique environment where leaders, coaches, guides, authors, researchers, and visionaries—men, women and people of any gender—bring their wisdom, approaches, and questions to the table.
Expect energizing discussions, mastermind sessions, experiential activities, and transformative tools you can take back to your practice and community.
You’ll leave this summit feeling energized, inspired and more connected to and supported by your peer community…
Â
This will also be the space for you to discover powerful collaborations, strategic partnerships, and new ideas for growing your work with men and/or boys.
This rare opportunity allows seasoned “old guard” and rising “new guard” practitioners to stand side by side, nurturing a healthier future for men and the communities they serve.Â
Together, let’s cultivate connection, share our diverse approaches, and challenge each other to think bigger.
What You’ll Experience at This Event…
We are co-creating an annual event that will essentially serve as our “industry conference” for the men’s personal growth and development space. Here is what we’ll be doing over the 3 days of this summit:
- Having open discussions and conversations on the current state and future of men’s work, and the challenges and opportunities for us as practitioners and researchers.Â
- Engaging with each other through keynote talks, panel discussions, masterminding sessions, and experiential activities led by experts and people from the Big Tent community.
- Connecting and collaborating with each other during the event and after (structured & unstructured time). We hope that dynamic new collaborations will emerge from this gathering. Â
- Co-creating the Summit experience real-time together…using feedback in the room that can be applied to future sessions.
Who is This Event For…
If you’re someone who is doing personal development and growth work with men and/or boys, and who wants to support the evolution of men’s work and collaborate with others in the field… then this event is definitely for you. We anticipate having folks who are:
- Founders and Organizational Leaders
- Coaches, Therapists, and Counselors
- Facilitators and Workshop Leaders
- Authors, Researchers, Speakers & Podcasters
This is for you if you’re new to the men’s work space, or if you’ve been in this space for 30+ years. We are intentionally making this an invite-only or by referral event so that we can maintain a high-quality experience in the room. All genders are welcome at the Big Tent Summit.

Attendee Composition
We are primarily offering this event through an invite-only approach (or by referral).
