Hosting a summit with the support of the Accelerator helped me experience the growth I was looking for in the course side of my business.
The Accelerator not only gave me everything I needed to run a summit, but to do it in a way that had such an impact in adding new students to my course, growing my list, gaining a ton of visibility, and creating an experience that people are talking about months and months later.
This is seriously the best program I’ve ever taken, and is the best investment I’ve made in myself or my business. I’d recommend it to anyone with a proven offer they want to sell more of. I’m so grateful for Krista and the Accelerator coaches for putting together something so truly impactful.
- Victoria Boyd, host of the Lucrative Leads Summit
I am 100% sure I would not have as successful an event without the Launch with a Summit Accelerator. I'm really proud that we have a very well-run, compelling event that attendees and speakers love, and the Summit in a Box® resources, templates, and team were crucial to this… The support in this program is worth its weight in gold!
- Jenny Golding, host of the Yellowstone Summit
My course launch was 4x my previously largest launch and I believe that is 100% because hosting the summit set me up as the go-to expert and put me in front of a targeted warm audience. Attendees were ready to purchase days before I opened the cart thanks to these strategies.
- Pam Grice, host of the Crochet Business Summit
Meet your Accelerator team!
Hey, I'm Krista!
Few people realize that I launched myself into the business world with a side hustle doing 1:1 web development work back in 2015.
I eventually quit my software engineering gig for a Fortune 500. Since then, I have approached my business strategically, and have loved growing and evolving through trial and error.
I remember how overwhelmed I felt back in 2018 when trying to navigate my first summit completely on my own. Sometimes I look back and wonder how in the world I did it, especially without any support, templates, processes, or resources to make it easier.
I had to figure out every detail on my own, wondering every step of the way whether I was missing some critical piece that would result in a total flop.
Today, with many successful summits to my name, I support online business owners like you as a virtual summit strategist and the brain behind Launch with a Summit Accelerator® so you can cut out the trial and error... and get straight to the business-transforming benefits.

Expertise: All things tech, summits, evergreen summits
You'll hear from me: In Slack
My #1 reason for hosting this summit was for visibility and to be seen as an expert in my field and I 100% know my summit did this for me.
Before joining the Accelerator, I was feeling good about where my business was headed after pivoting and launching a new course, but I was also impatient and wanted to do something that would give my business a boost quickly. A summit seemed like the perfect next step, and I’m so glad I did it with the help of Krista and the Accelerator!
The coaching and feedback were what really moved the needle and helped me host a summit that achieved my goals. This was pivotal for positioning my summit in a way that massively grew my list, increased visibility and name recognition, created new partnerships with speakers, and increased sales in my post-summit launch and other promotions shortly after.
The templates and course material were super helpful, but I don't think I would have been able to achieve as much as I did with just the resources alone. I am sooo happy I joined the Accelerator!
- Lucy Reyes, host of the Cheers to Planning Summit
One of the things that was so worthwhile to me was the community-minded selling strategies that led me to a profitable summit without pushing a hard sell. I wasn't sure how I'd make that work with selling a course at the end of my summit, but Krista has mapped out a thoughtful step-by-step process to ensure that you're selling the right product, presenting it to speakers in a way that makes everyone comfortable, and getting sales without feeling like you're just having the summit to sell the course!
- Margaux Fraise, host of the Wedding Summit Series
Your business didn't 'happen' by accident.
It took drive, grit, and determination to get here!
And while this trifecta is a great base to host win-win virtual summits
(because they have a lot of moving pieces)
...it will only get you so far!
Yes, you can 100% DIY a successful virtual summit with our Summit in a Box® system, but what if you had a team of experts by your side to...
✅ Make your summit the cornerstone of your entire launch strategy & post-summit momentum.
✅ Encourage you when you're freaking out before sending your speaker pitches.
✅ Connect the many dots when you can't see the forest through the trees.
✅ Look at the numbers as summit registrations come in and what they're really saying, so you can tweak things with big and immediate impact on your conversion rates.
✅ Remind you why you went on this summit hosting journey in the first place when doubt starts creeping in. (It happens to all of us!)
✅ Experiment and innovate while designing a bulletproof backup plan for summit success.
In the Accelerator, you get a team of virtual summit experts to brainstorm, strategize, and diagnose your signature summit to leapfrog your business beyond your wildest dreams.
(One that proves summits can still absolutely change the trajectory of your business in 2025 & beyond. If done right!)

Summits absolutely still work! My business was new when I started the program. I grew my email list from 500 to 3000 subscribers, 500 people bought the all-access pass, and then 100 joined my course. We cleared $100k before cart-close and this was my first year in business!
- Steffeny Feld, host of the Therapy Intensives Summit

The right summit niche and topic will set the foundations for a profitable summit and signature offer launch, and create a seamless transition to launch your offer following the event.
Phase 2: Your Launch Strategy: Next, we make a plan for of all the moving pieces that turn your summit into a launch pad to sell your course or membership. Focusing on your launch early in the process aligns everything you do while planning your summit - with your ultimate goal of selling your offer! We also support you with the feel-good, engagement-based strategies to build awareness throughout your summit so your attendees are begging you to open the cart by launch day and your speakers don't end up surprised..
Phase 3: Your High-Converting Virtual Summit: By the end of month 1, your foundations are set and you’re ready to bring your summit to life. During this phase, we’ll walk you through our step-by-step process for hosting a high-converting virtual summit that blows industry standards out of the water. You have every resource you need and our high-touch support every step of the way as you plan, prep, promote, and host your event from start to finish.
Phase 4: Post-Summit Momentum: In the final phase of the Accelerator, we help you to seamlessly transition to your biggest course or membership launch yet, and then craft a plan to bring in even more post-summit profits beyond your launch. We show you how to review your results and plan for an even bigger and better event the next time around. By the end of your 6 months in the Accelerator, you are fully equipped to take what you created and continue building on your momentum for post-summit profits and future events that continue to create amazing results for your business!
I joined the Accelerator after speaking in one of Krista's summits and was very impressed with the execution and overall experience. I knew going in that I would get the best practices from her, and I did. The feedback I received about the summit experience from speakers and attendees alike was off-the-charts good, and I doubled my email list with leads that are a perfect fit for my new membership.
Krista, her team, and the supporting Accelerator group are the best! It was so helpful to be able to go to the Accelerator for accountability, feedback, brainstorming, and ideation throughout the planning process. There are so many tasks involved in hosting a summit that it could easily become overwhelming without this high level of support. The group is so encouraging, especially in those moments of low mindset, low energy, or challenges, and I would not have been able to host my summit without it!
- Mat Casner, host of the Purpose to Profit Design Business Summit

45,000 attendees and $192k in revenue from a first-time summit
“We are so thrilled with our results and have had so many wins through this summit! We exceeded our attendee goal, came very close to our stretch revenue goal, and we're so proud of the event we put on. We also had a lot of non-monetary goals that we're so proud to have achieved through this event! We made so many new connections in our crafting niche, created stronger relationships with many of our peers, landed sponsors for a first time event, and increased our visibility as industry experts in the crafting space.
It was an incredibly successful event, and we are so grateful to have the Summit in a Box® curriculum as our guide. We also couldn't have done it without the support inside the Accelerator. The Accelerator coaches were in the trenches with us helping us get our conversion rates up during registration, and their guidance during a critical time made all the difference (an additional $20k+)! And now we're set up for an even better event next year!”
- Amy Romeu and Jen Swift, co-hosts of the Cricut Crafting Adventure Summit
What's on the other side of the Accelerator?
A smarter way to approach your launches, sales strategies, and visibility strategies long-term.
While hosting your first (or next) summit is a major undertaking...
...a summit works much harder for you than the countless disjoined marketing tactics you currently subscribe to.
And they lead perfect-fit, ready-to-invest buyers straight into your inbox!
Your signature virtual summit can become the "Energizer Bunny" of your business.
It just keeps going and going and going!
(Or giving and giving and giving in this case!)
A summit will grow your business, income, reputation, & connections all at once well beyond the actual event!
As an experienced business owner who's been around the block a few times...
...you know when to DIY and when to call in the experts.
And launching a virtual summit (so you can make it a yearly signature event!) is the business-shifting opportunity that warrants brainstorming & strategizing alongside those who have lived and breathed summits (and summit trends) for years:

I have more questions!
Recently, we asked experienced business owners like you to share their take on virtual summits.
They agree on most things:
The workload & tech involved in hosting a virtual summit scared them.
They had attended one too many lackluster summits that made them doubt the concept.
They had heard through the grapevine that summits no longer work.
And… they all were sick and tired of the slow-burn strategies of today.
What divided them?
Many get scared off by the doubts, fears, and overwhelm, keeping them stuck in the slow lane for good (with their peers happily overtaking!).
While the savvy ones accept the virtual summit challenge, and tackle it head on with the personal guidance, feedback, and support of seasoned summit pros like Krista & Team SIAB.
What’s it going to be?
