Brought to you by Base: The first-ever platform built for assistants.

2021 is all about leading with intention.

You'll leave this summit feeling inspired and rejuvenated, ready to lead every day. Our all-day summit will feature sessions centered on:

Revolutionizing how you work

Instead of curating or reacting to tasks and your day-to-day workflow, learn how to be strategic with each action and channel your leader mindset to take each day by storm.

Communication in our remote world

Even when things are back to normal, our "new normal" will still be a remote-friendly world. Learn what long-term skills (and tools) to leverage.

Your mindset mantra

2020 brought a lot of challenges, but it also allowed you to focus on the most important thing: YOU! We'll have a wellness workshop that's all about putting your physical and mental health first.

Join 1,000s of assistants for this free, one-day event

This event was hosted in our dedicated community for assistants for an all-day summit dedicated to streamlining workflows, leveraging technology built for you, and of course—having fun! All sessions were streamed to the Base Facebook Community and YouTube Channel.
