Hey {{first_name|there}},
The Chief of Staff role is splitting into two paths.
One group is learning to build with AI. They are designing systems, automating workflows, and creating leverage that didn't exist six months ago.
The other group is still operating like it's 2023.
By the end of 2026, only one of these groups will still be relevant.
Chief of Staff Connect 2026 is where you learn which path you're on and how to accelerate if you're behind.
🎧 LISTEN FIRST: Why 2026 is different
Before you register, listen to our latest podcast episode where Scott Amenta and Tom Guthrie break down:
Why "AI-native" Chiefs of Staff are the only ones who'll survive
What FROM FORCE MULTIPLIER TO BUILDER actually means in practice
How we designed Connect 2026 to be the most practical, hands-on event series yet
Which cities we're coming to (and why)
Then come back and grab your ticket. Early bird tickets won't last!
📍 SEVEN CITIES. TWO EVENT FORMATS.
We're bringing Connect to more places than ever in 2026:
FLAGSHIP EVENTS (~150+ attendees, full-day experience)
London – November 13
San Francisco – May 15
New York – October 22-23
Every flagship ticket has the option to bundle with annual CoS Network PRO+ membership ($950 value included). Join 900+ Chiefs of Staff peers for a full year of continuous programs, events, courses and community.
CHIEF OF STAFF CONNECT FORUMS (~50 attendees, intimate regional gatherings)
Forums are regionally focused, deliberately small, and designed to activate local Chief of Staff communities. Every Forum ticket also includes annual Pro membership, but seats are extremely limited!
⚡ WHY YOU NEED TO REGISTER NOW
1. Every 2025 Connect event sold out.
London, San Francisco, New York — all hit capacity. We might be biased, but this is hands-down the best event for Chiefs of Staff globally 😉
2. Early bird pricing is limited.
If you're planning to attend, lock it in now. We’re reserving a limited number of early bird tickets per event. These always go fast!
3. Forum events have hard caps.
We're limiting Forums to ~50 people by design. Once they're full, they're full. No exceptions.
4. The Chiefs of Staff who don't adapt to AI will be obsolete.
We talk to dozens of Chiefs of Staff every day. We really believe this. If you're not building with AI, you're falling behind. Connect 2026 is an opportunity to catch up or pull ahead.
🏗️ THE THEME: FROM FORCE MULTIPLIER TO BUILDER
For years, Chiefs of Staff have been defined by their ability to amplify their executives. Make them 2x, 5x, 10x more effective.
But that definition is outdated.
The best Chiefs of Staff in 2026 aren't just multiplying, they're building:
Building AI-powered workflows that scale beyond any one person
Building strategic frameworks that become company operating systems
Building infrastructure that transforms how organizations make decisions
This is what every Connect event will teach you how to do.
Not in theory. In practice. With frameworks, templates, and playbooks you can implement the following Monday.
🎯 WHICH EVENT IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Choose a flagship event (London, SF, NYC) if:
You want the full-scale Connect experience with 300+ peers
You're ready to invest in becoming an AI-native builder
You want access to the largest Chief of Staff gathering in the world
Choose a Forum event (Dubai, Singapore, Berlin, Austin) if:
You're based in or operate across these regions
You want a more intimate cohort (75-150 attendees)
You're looking to build regional Chief of Staff community
You want the same content with a local market lens
The Chiefs of Staff who build with AI will thrive.
The ones who don't will disappear.
Which side of that line do you want to be on?
See you at Connect!
