What is Main STreet Summit?

Main Street Summit is a 2+ day small business tour de force. We’ve sourced world-class owners and operators who are uniquely equipped to help solve the issues keeping you up at night.

Expert-driven content is delivered in intimate, small group settings; not in cold, cavernous conference rooms. You’ll leave Main Street Summit better equipped to grow your business than ever before.

In 2025, we welcomed over 1,200 owners, operators, and investors to Columbia, MO in early November.

While there's always room for improvement, the feedback has been the best we've ever received. So, we're running it back September 15-17, 2026.

Main Street Summit is for people who build to meet their people. Tailor your experience, zero in on industry-specific content, and dive deeper into the topics that matter most to you.

We started with a Venture & Startup track in 2024. In 2025, we expanded (by a lot), offering seven tracks helping attendees to navigate the 120+ Speakers, Sessions, and Events happening.

In 2026, we’re building momentum and creating the best speaker lineup yet. Join us September 15-17th in downtown Columbia, MO.
