Sustainable

April 28–30, 2026 | Free virtual event

Mindi Huebner

Build the business that                            — not just the one you hold together.

holds you

Three days of real conversations with experts on protecting your energy, building operational systems that actually work, and leading like a supported CEO.

I'M READY
ready to lead in a new way?

Delegation isn’t “hand it off and hope.” It’s learning how to lead—so quality stays high, expectations stay clear, and you’re no longer the bottleneck.

(delegation, team rhythms, communication, maintaining standards)

Day 3: Lead as a Supported CEO

Growth breaks businesses that aren’t built to hold it. This day is about simplifying, tightening your operations, and building systems that create stability—without turning your business into a corporate snoozefest.

(systems, simplification, operations, automation)

Day 2: Build the Business to Hold Growth

Because “more discipline” isn’t the answer when you’re already maxed out. Learn how sustainable founders make decisions, protect time, and stop living inside constant urgency.


(boundaries, decision-making, capacity, mindset)

Day 1: Protect Your CEO Energy

a business you don't have to white-knuckle

Three days. Three tracks. One clear outcome

These speakers weren’t pulled from a random application pile. They were hand-picked and invited because they’ve done this in real businesses—and they know how to teach it in a way you can implement without needing a 40-hour work week to make it happen.

You’ll walk away with a simpler plan, cleaner systems, stronger boundaries, and a leadership approach that doesn’t rely on you being “on” 24/7.


The Sustainable CEO Summit is a reset

It’s definitely possible to grow without burning out.

This summit was built for you if...

You don’t need more ideas. You need less chaos, clearer decisions, and support that actually sticks.

You're 5, 8, maybe 10 years in, and the way you've been running things isn't going to carry you through the next chapter.

You're ambitious and capable, but you're also stretched so thin that "strategic thinking" sounds like a luxury.

a quick gut check

You know you need support, systems, and structure, but every time you try to step back, something falls apart.

You're done over-functioning. You're ready for a way of leading that is actually sustainable.

VIP is for the founder who knows she'll actually use what she learns and wants the infrastructure to make it happen.

Don't just attend.
Walk away with everything you need to act.

For the Founder Who Implements

The VIP

vault

let's do this!
Women are starting businesses in record numbers — 49% of new businesses in 2024 were started by women. And yet, we’re still getting a fraction of the funding, visibility, and recognition.

A portion of summit proceeds funds the Audacity Bridge Scholarship, created to support a female founder who is ready to implement but needs a financial bridge to get in the room.

Made possible by our sponsors and proceeds from the VIP Upgrade, the scholarship is awarded based on readiness, specificity, and audacity.

Not the saddest story. The sharpest plan.

The Audacity Bridge Scholarship

Because readiness shouldn't depend on your bank account.

I help over-functioning CEOs build the systems, decision support, and internal leadership that create space to breathe and confidence to lead

Your Host

Nata Salvatori

Nata helps established founders stop over-functioning and start leading. Through her signature R.E.T.U.R.N. framework, she blends sharp business strategy, systems architecture, and identity-level coaching to help CEOs get out of the operator seat and into the role they actually built the business for.

Her work lives at the intersection of freedom-first leadership and sustainable growth. She built the Sustainable CEO Summit because she believes founders deserve real support, not another to-do list disguised as a strategy.
