You earned the invite. Anton reviewed your name personally, and your request was approved. Now claim the seat that is held for you.
Spend two and a half days in a closed working room with hand-selected senior executives and a small group of sitting CEOs, learning the leadership system that keeps proven leaders in power when the ground shifts beneath them.
This is a small gathering of the upper echelon. Make sure you’re there.
You are the most prepared person in nearly every room you enter, yet you still fight to be heard. You carry weight that few around you understand, answer to pressures that your peers rarely feel, and operate under a level of scrutiny that most people never see.
The hard truth is that credentials, performance, and title stop protecting you at your altitude. The leaders who hold their ground when organizations restructure and priorities reverse rely on something else. They command a set of capabilities their résumés cannot capture, and they hold a plan for what comes next before anyone forces the question.
That is exactly what this room delivers.
Master the specific competencies that keep accomplished leaders in their seats when others with equal résumés lose theirs—mapped to your current responsibilities.
Leave with a documented path to your next level, whether that means CEO of your current organization, the top seat elsewhere, your own venture, or your legacy chapter.
Build a concrete approach to command greater influence, compensation that matches your value, and authority that outlasts any restructuring.
Form lasting relationships with leaders who face the same stakes, carry the same visibility, and will pick up the phone long after this event.
Every person in this room holds VP-level authority or above and was chosen individually. Anton compiled the invitation list himself from a small pool of leaders he selected by name. Admission runs through review and approval, and we’re keeping it small on purpose.
The room protects candor by design. What is said in Charlotte stays in Charlotte, and the standards make that concrete.
Here you can speak plainly about the pressures you rarely name out loud, among peers who carry the same ones.
Anton Gunn hosts and leads every session. Featured guests include sitting CEOs and C-suite leaders from Fortune 500 organizations who will speak with unusual candor about what the climb actually demands.
Access here is structured, not incidental. You will hear from these leaders through fireside chats, join small-group discussions where questions get answered directly, share meals inside the room, and take part in facilitated peer sessions built for real exchange.
You lead at the VP level or above. You carry significant responsibility, significant compensation, and significant pressure. You often move through rooms where you hold high visibility and few true peers, where seniority turns heavier than it does for the people beside you, and where the weight rarely lifts when you get home.
You are ready to stop surviving at the top and start building power that no restructuring or reversal can take from you.
A private welcome reception for all attendees, setting the tone for the days ahead and helping everyone jump right into the first conversations of the summit.
A full day of keynote sessions, fireside chats with guest executives, and structured peer-connection work designed to build relationships that hold well past the weekend.
A focused half-day session that wraps by midday, so you can travel home the same afternoon. Hotel and travel details follow after confirmation.
Your registration covers the full summit, every session, VIP-level hospitality, and structured access to leaders whose insight would take you years of trial and error to earn on your own.
Everything about this experience is built to help you build the legacy you’ve dreamed of for years.
Your seat is non-refundable and fully transferable to another qualified, approved executive.
If your organization funds professional development, this is the highest-return use of that budget.
Invoice and reimbursement documentation provided on request.
“As a chief executive, I have personally benefited from Anton’s elite experiences and innovative ideas. His dynamic stage presence is even more impactful than his expertise. His passion is inspiring. He always finds the right words to elevate an audience.”
“If you are a leader wanting to grow your team and improve your culture, Anton Gunn is your solution. He helped us identify challenges and implement solutions that accelerated our team’s cohesion and outcomes.”
“Anton, you made us a better leadership team, period. And we will continue to appreciate, reflect, and incorporate your advice in the months and years ahead.”
Anton Gunn has occupied positions like those you occupy and built power in each one. He became a CEO by 27, won election as the first African American to represent his district in the South Carolina Legislature, and served as a presidential appointee under Barack Obama. He went on to become the first African American C-level executive at MUSC Health System and earned recognition among the Top Most Influential Minority Executives in Healthcare.
He knows how the top seat gets filled from the inside. He worked for the CEO of the United States, sat on hiring committees for four different chief executives, and trained the search for the CEO of the Columbia Metropolitan Airport. Today, Fortune 500 organizations hire him to help leaders perform at their highest.
Your approved seat is held for 48 hours. Once that window closes, it releases to the waitlist.
Leadership that moves people forward.
