Efficiently Scale Your Business With AI. Grow Your Net Worth Investing in the AI Tech Boom.

Two days on the Gold Coast for founders, marketers and investors who refuse to watch the biggest technology shift since the internet happen to them — and want the playbook to put it to work instead.

No pitch-fest. No theory. Just what's working right now in AI, marketing, e-commerce and investing.

The Shift

In 18 Months, AI Has Rewritten the Rules of Business, Marketing and Money. Most People Haven't Taken Action Yet. That's Your Window.

The strategies that built your business are quietly being replaced.

The way customers search has changed. The way ads are bought and won has changed. The cost of building software has collapsed to near zero. Whole teams are being replaced by a single operator with the right AI stack — moving faster, spending less, and pulling ahead.

But here's what almost no one is talking about: this isn't just a business story. It's a wealth story.

The same shift that lets you halve your costs and double your output is also opening one of the most important investment trends of our generation. The people who understand both sides — how to build with AI and how to invest in it — are the ones who'll look back on 2026 as the year the ground shifted under their industry.

The New Era Summit is where you learn to play both sides.

Two Days, One New Operating System

For Your Business — And Your Wealth.

A no-fluff, no-pitch implementation event. You won't be inspired and go home unchanged. You'll leave with a clear, practical plan you can put to work the week you get back.

Over two days you'll learn how to:

  • Give your business an “AI brain” — a system that handles the work that used to need a team
  • Vibe code your own apps, tools and automations without hiring a developer
  • Run Facebook ads that still perform in the AI era — lower cost, better performance
  • Build and scale a modern e-commerce / Shopify business
  • Maximise profit from what you already have — without spending another dollar on ads
  • Build not just business cash flow, but a plan for long-term wealth accumulation towards your retirement.
  • Learn to invest in the AI technology age — and understand one of the biggest tech trends of our lifetime

Maximising Profit

Add serious profit without new ad spend, by tuning the handful of levers that actually move the number.

Networking sessions are built into the event so the connections actually happen.
