Houses
The first morning you get put in a House. Not a table number, a House. By hour two you have people who know your name, and on Friday they're the ones asking what you're actually going to do about it.

Why This Exists
Built Backwards From Every Conference That Wasted Your Time
"I built this event because I got tired of leaving conferences with a tote bag and nothing else."
I pulled up the big national association for event planners — the people who do this for a living — and read every topic they were looking for. Not one of them was about the attendee. Not one. That's the whole business, and nobody's thinking about the person who paid to be in the seat.
So we built the other thing. Seven years ago 75 of us sat in a room in Hurst, Texas in the middle of a pandemic because waiting around wasn't an option. Same reason we're still doing it. Nobody in this room is figuring their business out alone.

The 3 Pillars
Every Session Maps to One of Three Things
BABS is a B2B business and entrepreneur conference built for B2B founders, consultants, agencies and service-business owners selling into $1M–$100M companies — not a keynote-circuit showcase. Every session on the agenda ladders into one of these three.
Visibility
Get Seen. Get Remembered. Get Talked About.
You're not visible enough to the right people, and the ones who should refer you can't describe what you do.
Strategic Partnerships
The Right Relationships Open the Right Doors.
This isn't collecting business cards. It's learning who you actually need in your world.
Habits
Do the Work. Keep Doing the Work.
You already know what to do. You just don't do it consistently.
2026 Lineup
Real Business Builders. Not Keynote-Circuit Regulars.
Every speaker on this stage runs a real company and teaches what they actually do.

Don't Take Our Word for It
I got to know people through SCN, but BABS is where those relationships really came to life. When you finally get in a room with people you've only known through a screen, you realize they aren't just connections, they're people who genuinely want to see you win.
Tom Altman SCN member since 2024 BABS isn't just another event where you sit, take notes, and go home. You have real conversations with people who understand what you're building, and you leave knowing you have people in your corner.
I really walked away with tangible actionable items that I can put into practice right now to make a difference in my business.
Jennifer Rego The networking here is powerful — you're surrounded by people who share ideas and help you take your business to the next level.
Jeffrey Casanova They help you clearly identify what you should and shouldn't be doing, giving you the focus needed to truly grow your business.
Kevin Turner This summit pushed me to stop making excuses, get uncomfortable, and take action on the things I've been avoiding.
Sean I learned so much about myself through the tools and systems shared here. I truly believe anyone attending will gain real value.
Mario Robles This summit connects you with people who genuinely want to connect — it's a unique community unlike any networking group I've experienced.

Seven Years In
Things That Only Happen Here
Every year has an agenda. That's not what people talk about in the parking lot afterward.
Karaoke Night
Nobody calls it a networking mixer because nobody would show up to that. Business owners who have never met sing badly in front of each other and walk out of that room different than they walked in.
We Are the Champions
Three days end with 300 people on their feet, in one room, singing it out. You will feel stupid for about eight seconds and then you won't.
First year you find out about these. Second year you're the one telling somebody else.
