Living Your Legacy: Beyond the Finish Line with Jeff Hoffman

29 September 2026 06:00 PM (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

Venue: Alexander Homestead
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

Join us as Jeff Hoffman comes to Charlotte for an unforgettable conversation on legacy at the beautiful Alexander Homestead.

Jeff is a globally recognized entrepreneur, bestselling author, and award-winning speaker known for co-founding companies like Priceline.com/Booking.com and speaking in over 70 countries to audiences ranging from startups to world leaders. While his résumé is impressive, what consistently stands out in reviews is not just what he’s built, but how he challenges audiences to rethink what truly matters next.

This is not a “how to scale your business” talk. It’s a rare opportunity to hear from someone who has operated at the highest level, stepped back from traditional definitions of success, and intentionally redefined what impact and legacy look like in the second half of life.

Whether you’re just getting started in your entrepreneurial journey or you’re a seasoned entrepreneur who has built a successful business, this talk meets you exactly where you are. Jeff speaks directly to that shift from building success to building significance and what it looks like to create a life and business that still feels aligned in every stage.

You’ll walk away with a renewed perspective on leadership, a deeper reflection on the legacy you’re creating today, and practical insights that challenge how you think about impact, influence, and what you’re ultimately building beyond the business itself.

Expect a powerful mix of storytelling, honesty, and perspective-shifting ideas that stay with you long after the event ends and a conversation that connects success, significance, and legacy in a way that will reshape how you move forward.

PLEASE NOTE: NO GUESTS ARE PERMITTED TO THIS EVENT

On November 21st, the experience continues in a powerful and highly intentional way as members are invited to bring their children ages 10+ for a next-generation leadership experience. Andy will guide both parents and children through a unique, interactive session designed to open conversation around values, decision-making, accountability, and what it means to lead yourself and others well.

This rare two-part format creates space not only for personal reflection as leaders, but for shared understanding across generations, offering families a chance to connect in a way that is both meaningful and memorable.
