About the event

The Impossible Wish 2026: Founder & CEO Summit
“The most relevant and human CEO gathering I’ve ever attended. No filler. All fire - .” Impossible Wish Attendee

About this Event

The Impossible Wish is designed for owners of small and medium-sized businesses, or anyone who wishes they were, who feel stuck between their values and the demands of growth. It’s for leaders ready to rethink everything about how they lead, explore what truly matters, and evaluate where they want to go and how to get there. Using this revolutionary framework, participants learn to develop revenue ideas and partnerships once thought to be impossible and strategies to put their plan into action and do it.

That’s the promise of The Impossible Wish.
Where imagination, intention and execution intersect.

By harnessing the collective intelligence of high-impact thought-leaders, we transform wishes into the achievable, intentions into impact, and impossible ideas into scalable realities.
