​Registration opens Wed, Jan 28 for TCR members (save $150!) and Fri, Jan 30 for all

Who is this retreat for?

For you, the individual: a lakefront home on a peaceful peninsula with gorgeous views, watersports, all meals and snacks, rest and no shortage of inspiration

​

For you, the accomplished studio owner: an incredibly diverse panel of speakers and discussions to meet you where you are today. We've stepped it up from 2023 - and that's saying something, because 100% of our attendees said they would attend again. You'll leave ready to leverage what you've built with confidence and a clear path forward - personally and professionally.

​

The speakers: A first for the PYOP industry

NTM brings together the most dynamic group of speakers to ever be part of a PYOP event. The value, resources and guidance packed into these four days far exceeds your investment. After their sessions, speakers join us for meals, opening up deeper conversations you simply can't have in traditional conference settings. The small scale means genuine time with industry professionals and real discussions that continue long after you return home. Every single speaker was selected because of what they have to offer you - from the time at the lake house to when you're back in your studio, these professionals are the the BEST. Have you heard of Molly Grantham?
