Do I have to be a member of the community to attend?

Yes, this is a members-only event. Apply here to be considered. Membership is only available to individuals who meet our community criteria and are current full-time members of a venture capital firm in a platform-focused role. Interns, part-time employees, and investment-focused professionals are not eligible for membership in the community or to attend the Summit.

​

What is the cost of attending the Summit?

The cost of attending the Summit ranges from $549 to $749 based on fund AUM. Limited quantity, discounted early-bird tickets will be available from $399 to $599. Please note: early-bird tickets are now sold out. 

​

What is your cancellation or refund policy?

Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable; if your employment circumstances change after registering (i.e. you no longer meet membership eligibility), we reserve the right to revoke your ticket. All hotel bookings are subject to property policies.

​

What does my ticket include?

Your ticket gives you access to all parts of the Summit including all meals and drinks. Attendees are responsible for their own travel and accommodation costs.

​

Is there a hotel block available? 

Yes, there is a limited room block available at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach (our host venue) for summit attendees at a highly discounted rate of $379.00 per night. The hotel block booking link will be presented on the confirmation page after completing registration (pending availability).

​

Will this event be held virtually?

No, we will not offer a virtual option to attend.  ​

​

What is the agenda for the Summit?

The agenda is crowdsourced and will be released in early 2025. The agenda from last year can be found above.

​

Where is the event taking place?

Summit will take place at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. Other components of the event - such as side events or an afterparty - may take place offsite in Miami.

​

Can I be a speaker at the Summit?

The number of speaker requests we receive always exceeds the number of available speaking slots. In the registration process, you can highlight your area of expertise. We will reach out to you if we see alignment between your area of expertise and demand from attendees. ​

​​

My colleague wants to attend instead of me, can I transfer my ticket?

The Summit is open to anyone who is a current member of the VC Platform community. If your colleague is not a member, please have them first apply to join the community. Membership is only available to individuals who meet our community criteria.

​

Can I host a side event at the Summit?

If you're interested in hosting a side event or informal gathering during the Summit, we ask that you please inform us first by email (admin@vcplatform.com). Events hosted in partnership with or by external companies or service providers are strictly prohibited. Individually or firm-hosted events are acceptable, but we ask that you seek approval first. This helps us avoid conflicts with other events already planned and with our community's sponsor commitments.

​

Are there discounts or scholarships available for tickets?

We offer a limited quantity of Early Bird tickets. Our goal is that all attendees will have the ticket cost covered by your firm given the value of the content, learning, and networking you'll receive at the Summit and the return it will produce for your firm. If your firm is unable or unwilling to cover your ticket, please reach out to admin@vcplatform.com. There are highly limited scholarships available to ensure that as many people can participate as possible, regardless of cost.
