Delaware Business Owner Summit – Forward-Looking Wrap-Up

Following the success of the 2025 Delaware Business Owner Summit, our team is already hard at work shaping what’s to come in 2026. The growth of this event over just two years has been remarkable, and the excitement from this year’s attendees and sponsors has made it clear—this summit has become a cornerstone of the Delaware business community.

As we look toward next year, we’re focused on enhancing the experience in meaningful ways. One exciting addition in development is a pre-summit networking night, offering a relaxed, informal opportunity for attendees, speakers, and sponsors to connect before the main event. This gathering will help foster relationships early and set the tone for a highly collaborative and engaging day.

We’re also refining the structure and flow of the summit to better align with the needs of businesses at different stages. In 2026, we plan to introduce content tracks tailored to specific business sizes, allowing attendees to choose sessions that are most relevant to their current challenges and goals—whether they’re just getting started or scaling to new heights.

To further enhance the event experience, we’re exploring logistics improvements such as expanded parking options and shuttle access. Solutions under review include strategic partnerships for nearby lot access and offering advance purchase options for convenience and peace of mind.

Additionally, we’re working to fine-tune the attendee experience across every detail—from name badge visibility and slide readability to room layout and audio-visual enhancements. Our goal is to create a seamless environment that supports both learning and interaction.

We’re also focusing on increasing the value of attendance by ensuring that every seat is filled with individuals who are ready to engage, contribute, and connect. This includes continuing to build intentional partnerships with sponsors and offering new ways to participate at a higher level of visibility and influence.

Early bird registration for the 2026 Delaware Business Owner Summit will open soon. Those who joined us this year will receive early access, along with an exclusive opportunity to lock in 2025 pricing. Sponsorship inquiries are already coming in, and we’re excited to offer new opportunities to support and shape this growing platform.

We are incredibly proud of what this summit has become and even more excited about what’s ahead. Thank you to everyone who made 2025 such a memorable event. Together, we’re building something special for Delaware’s business leaders—and we can’t wait to take it even further in 2026.
