Beyond Now Summit is your chance to spend a day with the people building the future — creators, founders, and industry leaders across business, media, sports, and the creator economy.
Designed exclusively for high school students, it’s not a lecture — it’s real conversations, interactive breakout sessions, and direct access to the people actually doing it. You’ll leave with new ideas, real clarity, and a clearer sense of what’s next.
What You’ll Experience at the Beyond Now Summit
The Beyond Now Summit is one day to get in the room with the people building the future. From high-energy sessions to small-group breakouts you choose yourself, this isn’t a lecture — it’s real access, real conversations, and real direction.
Creators, founders, and industry leaders — including names like Jordan Matter and Nev Schulman.
Interactive breakout sessions where you choose your track and take part in real conversations.
Connect with driven high school students from across the country — your future collaborators could be in the room.
Not just inspiration — walk away with ideas, clarity, and next steps you can actually act on.
Learn from the People You Already Follow
You won’t just watch from the audience — you’ll be in the room with creators, founders, and industry leaders shaping what’s next. From viral content creators to bestselling authors and pro athletes, you’ll hear directly how they built what they’ve built.
Featuring Jordan Matter, Zachery Dereniowski, Suzy Welch, Jameis Winston, and 30+ others across business, media, sports, and the creator economy.
