14th Annual Rhodium Summit
Every Summit produces conversations a member can later point at and say: that was the moment my trajectory changed.
It’s a place for real, humble online business owners (not paid professional speakers) to openly share the best of what’s actually working and what isn’t right now.

A New Experience
The Summit lived in Vegas, at the Waldorf, the Four Seasons. There wasn’t a higher bar left to climb. Instead of trying to top it, we threw the bar out.
This year it’s New Orleans, at a historic French Quarter hotel, small enough that you’ll bump into people without trying.
The venue space holds up to 60 people.
Next year may be somewhere else. This particular trip happens once.

How Is The Summit Structured?
A mix of structured and unstructured time together.

Case Study Talks
On-stage shares on what’s working and what isn’t since the last event.

Roundtables
Interactive, highly-focused shares of a member’s experience.

Structured Networking

Unstructured Networking
Lots of space for conversations to happen organically.

Excursions

How Does Content Work?
The community creates the content.

Everyone Submits an "Ask" and a "Give"
An Ask is an issued you’d like feedback on and a Give is a case study or topic you have experience with.

Everyone Votes on "Gives"
About 30 days before the event, everyone votes on which Give is most actionable for them.

Top-Voted Gives Become Talks & Roundtables
If an attendee opted-in, their Give becomes part of the structured event content.

What People Say
After Attending
Attendees are honest, direct and generous.
Everyone at Rhodium speaks from lived experience – be that wins or losses. This is incredibly valuable. No fluff. No “you should do this” type advice. And people go deep! The speakers and all the attendees are honest, direct and generous. This is not a tit for tat type of event. The attendees are kind and genuinely excited to help each other get to the next level.
I have never been around a more thoughtful, generous and ambitious group of entrepreneurs. The people in Rhodium are the real deal. I feel like I’ll be a Rhodium-er for life.
Cutting edge of what’s actually being done.
Rhodium is a super power for solving your problems, learning the cutting edge of what’s actually being done in online business, and building relationships for the rest of your life. It’s the most important trip I make each year.
By far the best in person gathering of business owners if you want to learn from really smart people who are actually doing the thing you want to learn and not just giving keynotes about it.
Non pushy / pitching group was so refreshing.
Rhodium Summit was the best conference I have ever been to! Such quality people openly sharing, a non pushy / pitching group was so refreshing. The group runs on great values and is just the right size to meet all the right people in this industry. I made fantastic friends, am generating business with new partners and will 100% be back next year. Unmissable if you buy or sell online businesses. Thank you Chris!
Comfortable being myself.
When you get serious about creating a lifestyle around your business you will find that the journey is incredibly lonely between all the stories of VCs and funding rounds. However, finding Rhodium made me realize that I can still be a successful entrepreneur and focus on both building my business and spending legitimate time with my family. The filtered community is a place that I feel most comfortable being myself and have enjoyed watching the growth of everyone over the years. The deepest conversations happen at the Rhodium events and I am so honored to be part of this community.
Feel like I found my people.
It’s hard for me to put into words my first (hopefully of many) Rhodium Summits. I haven’t felt so comfortable and seen and intellectually stimulated in years and years and years. Every person I met was kind and welcoming and super insightful in so many ways. I hope I never run out of opportunities to help Rhodium members.
I am beyond grateful to everyone who recommended I attend. I feel like I found my people. Not only will my business be better because of it but I believe I will be personally as well.
Had it impact my life over and over again.
Everyone in this community has been recommended, vetted, and is expected to be trustworthy. It sets a stage for a community built on integrity and excellence.
The fact that I have over 100 intelligent, thoughtful, trusted, and successful entrepreneurs available to help me walk through any issue at any time can not be over-stated. And I have had it impact my life and the lives of my friends in the group over and over again in wonderful ways.
Successful people who care about one another.
Rhodium is the best curation of Internet entrepreneurs I’ve ever been around. Successful people who care about one another and celebrate each others wins just as much as their own.
It’s is all about the relationships for me. I’ve had numerous pivotal moments in my business where I can call upon someone who’s been there and done that and get guidance along my own journey. It doesn’t happen in an instant but it just gets better and better the more involved I get.
Helped me to mature as a business operator.
Rhodium Summit helped me to mature as a business operator and allowed me to be vulnerable with failure and confront the brutal facts to create better businesses.
Rhodium isn’t a typical conference. It’s a curated network of interesting entrepreneurs willing to pay it forward. All of the attendees are there for a reason and each conversation is surprisingly confirming of the incredible curation of these minds.
Feeling understood and supported.
Being in the room with other Rhodium entrepreneurs will change your life and your business. You’re connecting, you’re learning, you’re giving and receiving. But the biggest thing is feeling understood and supported, something we don’t often experience.
Share their knowledge openly.
Rhodium is a next level community of entrepreneurs who are deep, vulnerable and will share their knowledge openly with you. Given it is not a strong party culture like most conferences, this combined with the quality of the conference organization makes it the best group I belong to.
Inspiring, ego-free successful people.
Rhodium Summit is by far the best conference I have attended. I experienced meeting inspiring, ego-free successful people, and enjoyed entertaining talks curated by the remarkable host, Chris. The only thing I’d suggest to improve it is to make it longer than 3 days!
People are down to earth and just good people
It’s hard to find your place sometimes when it comes to finding a big group. Rhodium is the first place I feel people are just down to earth and just good people. On top of that , they are extremely smart and kick ass at business.
Chris has done a fantastic job to grow this community and keep the quality high !
