THE PRINCIPLED BUSINESS SUMMIT IS COMING TO AUSTIN OCTOBER 28-30
This October, founders, investors, executives, and entrepreneurs from across the Principled Business community will come together in Austin for the 2026 Principled Business Summit, a three-day gathering focused on the ideas, businesses, and people shaping the next era of free enterprise.
With America’s 250th anniversary and the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations falling in 2026, this year’s Summit asks a bigger question: What should the next 250 years of capitalism look like?
Across three days, the program will move from the foundations of free enterprise to the challenges facing business today and the opportunities ahead, with conversations spanning entrepreneurship, technology, AI, energy, defense, space, healthcare, reindustrialization, investing, and more.
The Summit will feature conversations with leaders including John Mackey, Selim Bassoul, and Dave Heath, along with founders, investors, and executives from across the Principled Business network.
Highlights include:
- Main-stage conversations and debates on some of the biggest questions facing business and free enterprise
- Startup Accelerator Demo Day, featuring early-stage companies pitching for consideration of up to $250,000 in investment
- Practical sessions and workshops for founders, executives, and investors
- Investor Deal Lab, featuring investors presenting companies they have personally backed
- Curated networking and off-agenda gatherings with entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders
- An Awards Dinner and VIP Reception celebrating leaders advancing the principles of principled business
The Summit is designed to be more than a conference. It’s a place to meet the people building companies, deploying capital, and creating the institutions that will shape what comes next.
