GATHER
Learn. Grow. Connect. And leave further ahead than when you arrived.
About the Retreat
Move Farther. Faster. Together.
A 2-day immersive experience for Founders & CEOs designed to inspire growth, creativity, and connection — set against the backdrop of Connecticut’s only beachfront boutique resort.
8 educational sessions with industry-leading experts. Layered networking woven through every moment. And experiences that make October in Madison, CT feel like the most beautiful place on earth.
The Experience
The Property & The Setting
Madison Beach Hotel
Connecticut’s only beachfront boutique resort — perched on the Long Island Sound with sweeping water views, curated coastal interiors, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you exhale the moment you arrive.
This is GATHER’s home base. A place that matches the ambition and warmth of the women inside it.

Retreat Highlights
Everything You’ll Experience
Monday evening kick-off — firepits, passed hors d’oeuvres, and the Long Island Sound at golden hour. A warm, unhurried welcome to GATHER and the people in it.
Two full days of skills-based learning with industry-leading experts. AI tools, Canva, pre-holiday sales strategy, content planning, and more — all hands-on, no fluff.
A classic New England lobster bake right on the MBH lawn — mixology, firepits, blankets, and the kind of lingering conversation that only happens when the setting is this good.
A curated send-off through one of Connecticut’s most charming shoreline towns — including a behind-the-scenes tour of RJ Julia Booksellers and other local gems. The perfect high note to end on.
MBH’s on-site spa is yours to enjoy throughout the retreat. Book a massage, facial, or treatment — restoration is part of the strategy.
30 women. Intentionally curated. The relationships you build over a lobster bake on the Sound will outlast the retreat by years.
