The retreats · Three a year

Out of office. Into the circle.

Three times a year we leave the office behind. Offsite, intensive, and small by design — a weekend where the circle sits around one table and works on the problems that actually matter. No keynotes, no sponsors, no networking theatre.

How a retreat works

One real problem, solved together.

Every retreat runs on a simple contract: each leader brings one real, current problem — and the room commits to moving it forward. That's the whole point.

i.Arrive with a problem. Architecture, scale, a team you can't fix, a decision you keep postponing — bring the one that's costing you sleep.
ii.Work in small groups. Three to four tech leaders per table, so every problem gets the room's full attention — not a passing comment in a hallway.
iii.Solve it collaboratively. Peers who have shipped it before pressure-test your thinking, share what worked, and leave you with a plan — not just notes.
iv.Switch off the noise. Off-grid and unhurried, the most honest conversations happen between sessions — over dinner, on a walk, away from the feed.
The three retreats

A different focus each season.

A waterfall dropping through a misty, forested valley

Retreat no. 01 — Spring

Deep Work

Two days off-grid to untangle the hardest technical problem on your plate — architecture, scale, or team. You leave with a concrete direction, stress-tested by people who have been there.

2 days · Technical · Location TBA

A winding road through green, mist-covered mountain ridges

Retreat no. 02 — Summer

Leadership

Personal development meets advanced leadership strategy. Fewer slides, more honest conversation about the job nobody trains you for — managing yourself while you manage everyone else.

2 days · Personal & leadership · Location TBA

People gathered on a clifftop viewpoint high above a fjord

Retreat no. 03 — Autumn

The Summit

The entire circle, once a year. Where the network compounds: new members are welcomed, old problems are revisited with fresh eyes, and the plans for the year ahead take shape.

2 days · The whole circle · Location TBA
