The view is better from the top at the Solo Summit

a man sits on a green lettuce with hair that looks like lettuce. the text reads "business in the front. solo summit in the back. lettuce presents solo summit may 14, 2026. A one-day virtual event designed to help solopreneurs reach their summit.

The Lettuce Solo Summit is a free, one-day virtual conference on May 14th where every session is a working masterclass, and every attendee leaves with something they can use that day.

We surveyed 600+ solopreneurs and found a clear pattern: the ones who grow aren't more talented, they're more intentional. They've each found their version of what works. This Summit helps you find yours. Sessions include a financial framework from a CPA who strategizes for solos, a positioning statement that makes you the obvious choice, an AI critique of your LinkedIn visuals, and a partner strategy to turn your existing network into a real pipeline.

Two tracks. Eleven sessions. All led by experts who know what it takes to make the climb.
