Our Event
Astar Growth Summit 2026
Six days over 2 weeks, Here is how Converge 2026 is put together.
The format
Engineered to kill dead time.
Every element of Converge is arranged so the distance between a good idea and the person who can use it is as short as possible. Sessions sit forty steps from lunch. Workshops seat thirty, not three hundred. The evenings are where the real follow-ups happen.
