The Summit · 2027

Once a year, in one room.

The Summit is the in-person tip of the long arc — a small, unhurried gathering of the founder's group, the researchers we follow, and the builders we admire. One weekend, one room, no audience. We're holding the first one in 2027, alongside the first shipment.

A nightly ritual is a thing you do alone. The Summit is the once-a-year corrective — the moment the people quietly running the long experiment look up, walk into the same room, and compare notes. No keynotes. No stage. No badges with company titles. Just the founder's group, a few of the scientists whose work shaped the formula, and an honest two days of conversation about what's actually working.

If ARC Nightly™ is the small nightly motion at the end of the day, The Summit is the once-a-year motion that reminds you the small motion matters. Both belong to the same long arc.

Small

No more than the founder's group. We don't sell tickets; admission is included with your founder's-group membership.

Unhurried

Two full days, deliberately under-scheduled. Long meals. Real conversations. A walk between sessions, not a sprint.

Honest

Off the record by default. No press. No livestream. What gets said in the room stays in the room, so what gets said is worth saying.

The shape of the weekend

Two days that add up.

A long Friday-evening dinner to start, four unhurried sessions across Saturday — sleep architecture, the long-arc consumer brand, formulation under scrutiny, longevity beyond hype — a slow Sunday-morning walk before everyone leaves. No app. No swag bag. A single notebook on the table when you arrive. Everything else is conversation.

Speakers are people we read and learn from — researchers, clinicians, builders who think in decades. We won't list names until we have signed commitments, because we'd rather under-promise and over-deliver than the other way around. When we have them, they'll appear here, by name, with what they're bringing to the room.

A few things it isn't

What The Summit isn't.

No expo floor, no panels of nine people, no networking lounge. The whole point is that you can have a real conversation with anyone in the room across two days, without earning your way past a gatekeeper.

We won't be unveiling a product line, announcing a partnership, or running a press cycle out of the weekend. ARC's job is to ship the nightly ritual. The Summit's job is to keep the people doing the long work honest.

No ice baths, no breathwork track, no quantified-self booths. The Summit takes sleep and longevity seriously enough to talk about them like adults — not to package them as an experience.

You can't buy a ticket. Admission belongs to the founder's group. The only way in is to be part of the first thousand who reserved before launch, and we expect that to be the only way in for the foreseeable future.

The founder's group

The room is built by the first thousand.

The Summit is included with founder's-group membership. The only way to be in the room in 2027 is to be one of the thousand people who reserved a spot before launch. We'll write to you with venue, dates, and travel details once the founder's group is closed.
