The 4-day hybrid event to fuel your proven membership and seriously boost your bottom line with perfect-fit members who never want to leave.
(all without being stuck in launch mode all year round)
August 3-6, 2026
Leave with a summit plan and strategies to grow + retain members between launches
What if you could finally run a THRIVING membership…
…without feeling pulled in all directions by the day-to-day growth and upkeep?
All because you’ve just unlocked what it takes to convert, excite, and hook more of your dream members long-term.
And you had actionable strategies to:
Run far fewer launches (but more effective ones instead!)
Cut through all the online noise (without relying on inflated ads or tanking Insta posts!)
Build ongoing momentum (without having to hire a huge team!)
Make more recurring revenue (while taking up far less of your precious time!)
The reality:
While you’ve seen some success with your membership, it’s taken longer than you'd hoped.
And taking your membership to a level where it fully sustains your business (and lifestyle) still feels like throwing spaghetti at the wall.
Along the way, you’ve experimented with everything from…
Flash sales to free trials
Live calls to Voxer days
Repurposed content to high-end productions
Facebook Groups to fancy membership platforms
ALL. THE. CONTENT to bare-minimum deliverables
All because you genuinely want to serve your members well.
(not to mention adding new members and recurring revenue)
While you’ve nailed some of your winning strategies
you’re still held back by...
Fighting for engagement (because there’s nothing but crickets)
The membership plateau you’re caught in (and don’t know how to escape from)
Never-ending evergreen sales funnel tweaks (that you simply don’t have the headspace for)
Daily customer service requests (that surely could be avoided?!)
The questionable effectiveness of recent bundle contributions (and what to do instead)
The intricacies of an addictive onboarding experience (so it’s ‘Love at First Hello’ for new members)
What if you stopped doing more, and focused on smarter moves instead?
Introducing
The 4-day hybrid event that will help you...
Grow your membership strategically so you can rely on life-changing recurring revenue.
Excite your members so they become an active, thriving part of your community.
Hook your members with the right experiences so they never even consider leaving.
And uncover your next smart move so you can grow your membership by hundreds of members ASAP.

Meet your Host
Hi, I’m Krista - aka the brain behind Summit in a Box®
Since 2018, I’ve hosted 15 incredible summits that have transformed my business and blown industry standards out of the water.
From the beginning, I was so convinced by the potential of summits (when done correctly) that I developed a signature summit framework that has since supported thousands of online business owners in finding their own summit success.
While summits are super powerful for any business model, pairing them with a proven membership like yours can skyrocket your impact exponentially.
In my Launch with a Summit Accelerator® program, we are seeing membership site owners like you consistently add 150-500 new members with a single summit!
Best of all?
These new members have fallen in love with what you have to offer as part of your summit, and are ready to stick around…
…if you keep up the momentum!
This one-of-a-kind virtual summit is specifically designed to give you the practical strategies to welcome hundreds of new members, and turn them into raving fans who can’t do without your genius.
