You want to use AI. You just don't want it to cost you the thing that makes your business yours.

Maybe you've experimented, and what came back sounded like everyone else.

Maybe you're watching other people build whole systems with AI and quietly wondering whether you've already missed the moment.

Maybe you're using AI every day and it's fine, but it's not really yours yet.

None of that means AI isn't for you. It usually means the version of AI you've been shown doesn't fit how you work.

That's what this summit is for. Not AI for the sake of doing more, but AI on your own terms — matched to your capacity, your voice, your values and the way you want to sell.

Hear from 30+ heart-led business owners

Real workflows. Real businesses. Honest behind-the-scenes.

Meet the speakers

Four days, three themes, one very good lineup.

Over four days you'll hear from 30+ course creators, coaches and online offer creators sharing what they're genuinely doing with AI — the workflows, the results, and the bits that didn't work.

01

Human-Led, AI-Supported

You stay in charge. AI helps.

Using AI in a way that protects your energy and reduces your workload, while staying fully yourself. Real behind-the-scenes shares of how these speakers handed work to AI without losing their voice or values — and built something that keeps moving when they're not working.

Meet your host, Ruth Poundwhite

Ruth Poundwhite

Hi, I'm Ruth, a business coach, author of Quietly Ambitious, and host of the Soulful Sales Show podcast. This will be my 7th summit, so I know what I'm doing.

I'm also neurodivergent, a massive introvert, and someone who has been running an online business through fatigue and fluctuating capacity since 2008. AI is how I keep things moving on the weeks I can't, with tools built on my brand, my voice and my values.

I'm not a tech person and I never set out to become one. I brought 15+ years of business and marketing knowledge to AI, and that's what makes these workflows useful rather than generic.

I also think a lot about what it means for AI to feel genuinely human — not as a box to tick, but because I think that's what makes it work for you and for the people you serve. That's the conversation this summit is built around.

What people say about these summits

Last year's was my biggest ever — 2,250+ attendees.

“I didn't expect to feel so seen.”The thing I hear most
“The summit was amazing. I had several breakthroughs, most importantly that I need to trust myself and that I can do business my way.”Roshmila Adhikary
“Thank you for putting this summit together. It was more amazing than anything I could have imagined. The energy of attending and participating in it was incredible.”Vickie Kelty
“This summit has shown me that I can work from a place of service in a human-centered and authentic way that is true to who I am.”Charnae Sanders

The details

Everything you're about to wonder.

When

8th – 11th September 2026, with a set of presentations to choose from each day.

Where

Entirely online. I prefer to leave my house as little as possible and I assume you might too.

Presentations

Short and actionable, most around 15–20 minutes. Each one available free for 48 hours, so you take action instead of waiting for the right time.

Live panels

Three bonus live panel sessions, one per theme, included with your free ticket.

Community

A private community space alongside the summit, where you can connect with the speakers and the other attendees before it even starts.

Upgrades

Prizes

Chances to win throughout, based on engagement, bingo and giveaways.

Scholarship

On the final day one engaged attendee wins a full scholarship to my Soulful Sales Society membership.

This isn't another tech-bro AI event

It's not about scaling as fast as possible, or hustle, or productivity for the sake of productivity.

It's about AI as a tool for more humanity, not less. More support. More space. More of the thing that made you start this in the first place.

You get to decide what success looks like, and use AI to help you get there.

I'm ready to make AI work for me

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be good with tech or AI already?

No. Some sessions are for total beginners and some go deeper, so you can pick what fits where you are. Nobody here is going to make you feel behind.

When is it happening?

8th – 11th September 2026. Presentations go live each day and stay free for 48 hours each.

Is this only for online course creators?

It's built for heart-led online offer creators — courses, coaching, memberships, digital products, services. If you sell your own offers online, you're in the right place.

Are the presentations live?

The presentations are pre-recorded so you can watch when it suits you. The three panels are live, and recorded for anyone who can't make it.

How long will the videos be available?

Each presentation is free for 48 hours. If you want to keep them, the upgraded pass gives you lifetime access.

Will I still benefit if I don't have the energy to watch everything?

Yes, and please don't try to watch everything. Pick two or three that speak to you. That's a good summit.

Will all the speakers get my email address?

No. I never share the attendee list. You'll only hear from a speaker if you choose to sign up for something of theirs.

I still have questions.
