community, Learning, & Adventure

Break your conference mentality.

Connect With People Who Actually Get It

Unlike other conferences where you’re surrounded by beginners and vendors, attendees at ECF Live runs a 7 or 8-figure store. No need to explain basic concepts or filter through sales pitches – just immediate, high-level conversations with people facing your exact challenges.

Escape Big Tech’s Death Grip On Your Business

Regain control and stop handing over your customer relationships to the tech giants. Discover how fellow store owners are building direct, owned relationships with customers that aren’t subject to platform changes, algorithm shifts, or escalating fees.

Breathe Fresh Mountain Air While Gaining Fresh Perspective

Bozeman’s stunning mountain setting isn’t just a backdrop – it’s a catalyst for clarity. Step outside the daily grind, gain perspective surrounded by peaks, and return to your business with renewed focus. Downtown Bozeman is awash with dozens of restaurants, bars and breweries all within a 5-minute walk of our venue, perfect for continuing conversations. Want more adventure? We’ll help pair you with fellow ECFers for fly fishing, hiking, or wildlife spotting before or after the event.

Connect The Dots Between Business Success and Life Quality

ECF Live isn’t just about building a bigger business – it’s about building a better life. Learn how fellow owners are structuring their companies to support an intentional life with sessions on health, investing, streamlining your business operations and more.

Discover What’s Actually Working Right Now

No theoretical strategies or outdated tactics. Every session and conversation is focused on what’s delivering results today. Get specific, timely insights on traffic generation, how AI can actually save you time and money, retention strategies, and operational improvements from people with skin in the game.

Impressive Speakers Outside the Guru Lineup

Forget the usual speakers telling the same stories. At ECF Live, you’ll hear from under-the-radar operators achieving extraordinary results, cross-industry experts bringing fresh perspectives (like world-class mountaineer Conrad Anker sharing insights on risk management), and breakout sessions where the collective wisdom of the room becomes the content.

For anyone hesitating because they’re an introvert and hate the idea of ‘networking’, I want to let you know that ECF Live is not like that at all. Everyone is super-friendly, happy to chat, shoot the breeze and hang out.

This was my first ECF Live. I am blown away by the thoughtfulness put into each speaker and event. You put Fortune 50 companies to shame.

This is not simply a tradeshow, seminar, conference, etc, it truly is a community 4-day hang out. We talk, listen, learn, eat, drink, laugh, and share lots of life lessons that I do not think one can find anywhere else!

I’ve been to all the ECF Live events, and they’ve easily paid for themselves. Every year I come home with things that improve my business, not to mention how valuable the personal relationships you’ll build are.
