A Hosted Gathering for a Select
Group of Invited Investors
March 27 - 30, 2026
A Different Kind of Investor Gathering
Most investor events are built around ticketed conferences.
Inner Circle was created for something different.
Over several days in St. George, a small group of experienced investors
gathers in an environment designed for thoughtful conversation, shared
experiences, and perspective on where private markets may be heading.
There are no stages.
Just a carefully curated room of people who believe meaningful investment
decisions are often made through conversation, not presentations.
The retreat is hosted by our partners at 360 Venture Collective,
with guests responsible only for their travel to and from St. George.

Day One - Arrival in the Desert
Guests arrive in St. George and settle into the striking landscape of southern Utah. Private transfers bring everyone to Black Desert Resort, where the pace slows. As the sun sets over the red rock cliffs, the group gathers for a welcome reception — an evening of introductions, conversation, and the first glimpse of what makes this retreat different.

Day Two — Into Snow Canyon
The morning begins with sunrise yoga and breakfast before heading into the dramatic terrain of Snow Canyon State Park. Surrounded by towering red sandstone and ancient lava flows, conversations drift naturally toward bigger ideas. That evening, guests return for a private dinner and fireside discussion on the future of private markets.

Day Three — The Investor Experience
After meditation and breakfast, guests head courtside for the Professional Pickleball Association Gold Medal Finals — an energizing change of pace. Later, a private culinary experience with the chef leads into an intimate evening of dinner and fireside conversation where ideas sharpen and relationships deepen.

Day Four — Departure
The retreat closes with a quiet farewell breakfast. What began as introductions now feels like genuine connection. As guests depart, the conversations continue — carrying forward into future partnerships and opportunities.

The Inner Circle Experience
The Inner Circle Experience
Trust rarely forms over a single dinner.
Inner Circle unfolds across several intentional days, allowing conversations to deepen naturally and relationships to develop with clarity and context.
The guest list remains deliberately small — a select group of investors and their chosen partners — ensuring every interaction feels personal, thoughtful, and unhurried.
Where meaningful investment relationships begin.
The setting matters.
At the Inner Circle, every detail is curated to remove friction and elevate focus — exceptional dining, relaxed gathering spaces, and the dramatic red-rock landscape just beyond the terrace.
Hospitality here isn’t a perk.
It’s the environment that allows conversation to unfold naturally and ideas to move freely.
Some of the best investment conversations happen away from a conference table.
Mornings may begin with quiet reflection or a walk through Snow Canyon. Afternoons unfold through shared experiences, and evenings gather the group around thoughtful discussion and memorable dinners.
The rhythm is intentional — creating space for new ideas and opportunities to emerge.
Many guests attend Inner Circle with a spouse or business partner.
The retreat is designed to include them naturally — balancing meaningful conversation with experiences everyone can enjoy.
Shared moments often create the context that leads to stronger alignment — and better investment decisions.
