Why This Event Is Different
Most business conferences follow a predictable formula: cramped convention centers, mediocre catering, and speakers who recycle the same presentations they’ve given at ten other events that year. We wanted something different for the Hawke Media community.
That’s why we chose an island setting. The environment shapes the experience, and we wanted to create space for genuine connections and fresh thinking. When you step away from fluorescent lighting and windowless meeting rooms, something magical happens to conversations and ideas.
The rapid ticket sales tell me we’re not alone in craving this type of experience. People are hungry for meaningful professional events that don’t feel like an extension of their office environment.

What You Can Expect
If you’re considering joining us at Hawkfest, here’s what you can look forward to:
- Conversations that matter with people who can move your business forward
- Practical insights you can implement immediately, not theoretical fluff
- An environment designed to spark creativity and genuine connection
- Access to experts who normally wouldn’t be available in one place
- A balance of learning, networking, and yes—actual fun
The business landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. Digital transformation has accelerated, consumer behavior has shifted, and the rules of marketing evolve constantly. Hawkfest brings together the people who are navigating these changes successfully so we can learn from each other.
Why You Should Act Now
I don’t typically create urgency for the sake of marketing tactics, but in this case, the limited space is very real. We chose an island venue specifically because we wanted an intimate setting where meaningful connections could happen. This naturally limits our capacity.
The current pace of ticket sales suggests we’ll reach capacity well before the event date. Many attendees from last year secured their spots immediately when registration opened, which tells me they found tremendous value in the experience.
For those on the fence, consider this: business growth happens when we step outside our normal environments and connect with new people and ideas. Hawkfest creates the perfect conditions for those breakthrough moments.
Building Something Special
When we first conceived Hawkfest, my team and I had a vision of creating something that would become an annual highlight for our community. Based on the response, it seems we’ve struck a chord.
What makes me most proud isn’t just the impressive speaker lineup or the beautiful setting—it’s seeing the connections and business relationships that form during the event and continue long after. That’s the true measure of a successful business gathering: the value it creates beyond the days on the calendar.
The business world doesn’t need more forgettable conferences. It needs focused, high-value experiences that justify taking time away from our businesses and families. That’s the standard we’ve set for Hawkfest, and it’s why we’re seeing such strong demand.
If you’re looking for a different kind of business event—one that combines practical value with an environment designed for connection—I hope you’ll join us. Just don’t wait too long to decide. As our playful warning states: “We’re gonna need a bigger island.” And until we find one, spaces remain limited.
