Hi TLCers,
Today is the day.
At 1 PM Eastern, the ticket form opens for the Motivation Only ticket window for The Conference known as Experimentation island. This window runs from today through December 10 at 1 PM ET, and it is your chance to secure a spot at #Ei2026 and submit your application for the #Ei2026 Speaker Competition.
Both the event and the competition application will be available on the form at experimentationisland.com once the window opens.
So, while you enjoy a little Dylan written and performed by our very own Josh Silverbauer for our speaker, Dylan Lewis… why not apply for your ticket?
Experimentation island tickets: Incredible value for a fully all-inclusive retreat
#Ei2026 is the only retreat-style, all-inclusive experimentation conference in the US, and the pricing reflects our goal: keep this experience highly accessible for the practitioners who will benefit most.
Base price: 1,750 USD, including:
2-night hotel stay on St. Simons Island
All meals from arrival through departure
All keynotes and unconference sessions
All events, team challenges, and activities
This is a remarkable value for an all-inclusive, highly curated, mid- to senior-level, cross-disciplinary retreat designed for experimentation leaders and emerging leaders.
In-house attendees: you may also qualify for $150 USD off
Our speakers, sponsors, and many of this year’s attendees already have 150 USD discount codes available for in-house professionals. If you’re in-house, reach out to them or ask your network. These codes are meant to be shared!
Team pricing makes it even stronger
Bring a second colleague: 300 USD discount
Bring a third colleague: 450 USD discount
Teams return aligned, energized, and equipped to move faster together.
Agency or contractor supporting an in-house team? Bring a client or prospect and receive a 300 USD discount on their ticket.
Last chance to apply for the #Ei2026 Speaker Competition
This window is also your final opportunity to apply for the #Ei2026 Speaker Competition.
The competition is new to the US this year, but it has a long, successful history at our sister event, The Conference known as Conversion Hotel, in the Netherlands, happening this weekend!
It is one of the most popular parts of that event, and it has helped launch well-known voices in the experimentation community, including:
We brought the competition to #Ei2026 this year because it works. It surfaces thoughtful, practice-grounded stories and gives rising voices the structure and support to bring those stories to life.
Why you should consider applying
Finalists receive world-class speaker coaching from Michael Aagaard, one of the most respected experimentation and conversion optimization speakers in the world
You get guidance in shaping your experience, lesson, or framework into a sharp, impactful talk
You will share your story on the #Ei2026 stage in front of a highly curated group of senior product, UX, data, and experimentation practitioners
And if you don’t become a finalist…
#Ei2026 still gives you multiple ways to share your ideas and learn from others:
Attendee-led breakout sessions
Panels and ad-hoc collaboration moments
Long, unhurried conversations over great meals and beautiful evenings on the island
At #Ei2026, learning is not limited to the stage.
This is the moment. This is your moment.
Starting at 1 PM Eastern today, you can:
Claim your ticket for #Ei2026
Apply for the first US Speaker Competition
Join a retreat designed to move you beyond test execution and into experimentation leadership, culture, and strategy
The Motivation Only window closes December 10 at 1 PM ET.
We’d love to welcome you to the island, whether you join us as a speaker finalist, an unconference contributor, or an attendee who brings their wisdom to the table in a hundred other ways. Or all of the above.
Let’s Chase the Horizon together at #Ei2026, February 24–26, 2026, on St. Simons Island, Georgia.
Join us. And join the conversation!
