During its fourth annual Reunion in the Fort Worth Stockyards, entrepreneurs leading boutique professional services firms will develop their 2027 operational strategies with the help of AI.
The Reunion ensures they leave with their 2027 operating plan fully completed. Our members will accomplish this in a single day, leveraging AI, based on their own information, surrounded by 150 peers who manage companies similar to theirs.”— Jeff Klaumann, President, Collective 54DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, August 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Collective 54, the mastermind network for founders creating AI-Native professional services firms, is set to hold its fourth annual Reunion from October 26 to 27, 2026 at Hotel Drover in the Fort Worth Stockyards. A total of 150 founders and executives from boutique professional services firms will come together for two days, with one of those days dedicated to assembling the most critical document of their year: the 2027 operating plan.
Those attending will not be passive observers. Every member will bring their own company’s figures, and Co-Founder, Collective 54’s custom-built AI agent, will manage the substantial work while Collective 54 founder Greg Alexander and the Collective 54 team guide the group through the process step by step. By the conclusion of the day, each founder will possess a tailored operating plan specifying exactly what to focus on in 2027 and precisely how to carry it out. No consultant, no six-week engagement, and no five-figure bill; the plan is ready before they head to the airport.
In addition to the planning session, members will experience everything the Reunion is famous for: keynote presentations, success stories from founders operating firms of comparable size, and two days of peer connections that persist for years beyond the event. The gathering will also include the Member Recognition Dinner, where Collective 54 acknowledges the contributions members have made to the community over the past year. Every seat is occupied by an owner or executive of a boutique professional services firm following the same path of becoming an AI-Native organization, making this a uniquely exclusive room.
The Reunion is limited to 150 participants and is accessible to all Collective 54 members on a first-come, first-served basis until all spots are filled.
"Most events leave a founder feeling inspired, or worse, loaded with ideas that never get fully executed. The Reunion ensures they leave with their 2027 operating plan finished. A strategy firm would bill many times the cost of a ticket to create that document and would take six weeks to deliver it. Our members will build it in a day, using AI, on their own data, alongside 150 peers who run firms just like theirs. That is what turns two great days at the Reunion into a better year." Jeff Klaumann, President, Collective 54.
About Collective 54
Collective 54 is the mastermind community for founders and executives of boutique professional services firms. Collective 54 is the leading authority on helping these firms become AI-Native, and it coined the category: the AI-Native Boutique Firm. An AI-Native Boutique Firm is one where AI handles the work and people oversee the judgment, so growth no longer relies on billable hours and headcount.
Collective 54 membership offers three components. Methodology: established techniques for running an AI-Native boutique firm, from client acquisition to pricing to delivery to exit. Technology: Co-Founder, Collective 54’s AI, which applies that methodology within the member’s company. Capacity: Collective 54 staff who operate Co-Founder on behalf of a member and deliver completed work.
Members include founders, owners, and equity-holding executives of firms with 10 to 250 employees and $5 million to $50 million in revenue. Every member firm falls under NAICS 54, the professional services code that gives Collective 54 its name. NAICS 54 encompasses nine sub-verticals, and Collective 54 serves all nine: legal services, accounting and tax, architecture and engineering, specialized design, IT and software development, management consulting, scientific research and development, advertising and public relations, and other professional and technical services. Collective 54 has a few hundred members across North America.
Founders join Collective 54 to increase profits, simplify scaling, and make an exit attainable. Sixty-one Collective 54 members have sold their firms since early 2020, generating just over $3.5 billion in total value.
