Our Virtual Summit Service: How We Create a Summit from Start to Finish

If you dream of hosting a mind-blowing Virtual Summit WITHOUT feeling completely overwhelmed and overworked, then you’ve come to the right place. Let’s chat about our Virtual Summit Service.

At Simply Digital Design, we’ve been producing summits for 3 years, and as a result, we’ve helped numerous business owners host life-altering summits by following a PROVEN process.  

The backbone of our Virtual Summit Service is based on the Summit in a Box Framework.

After a great deal of trial and error, we finally created a design process that delivers super successful summits every single time. This means: 

• Your summit is designed quicker via our Day Rate process.
• You’ll get a step-by-step guideline, making it easy to reach your goals and deadline. 
• You’ll know exactly what the entire process will cost.
• Your summit will be awesome – without a doubt!

Below we’ve broken down our summit planning and creation process, so you know exactly what to expect when working with us.

Our Summit creation process from start to finish:

1. The Rundown Chat

Before we start working with you, we’ll arrange a 30-min video call (via Zoom) to talk about your project as well as your goals. 

During the call, we’ll explain our entire Summit Simplified process and run you through a timeline from start to completion.

Before the meeting, you might want to take a look at our article – Everything you need to know about our Summit Simplified service. This article answers ALL of the most frequent questions we get regarding our Summit Simplified Service, and it also explains exactly what’s included…
