FAQ

What's the difference between Catalyst Conferences and Catalyst Summits?

Catalyst Summits are free, half-day local gatherings designed for partnership and ecosystem professionals to connect, learn, and collaborate. They're intimate, high-energy events, which are essentially mini Catalysts that bring the community together in cities around the world.

Catalyst Conferences, like Catalyst 2026 in New York, take that same energy and scale it into a multi-day, premium experience. With more speakers, sponsors, and sessions, the full conference offers deeper insights, broader networking, and a bigger stage for exploring what's next in partnerships.

Both share one goal: to unite the partnership community, spark new ideas, and shape the future of growth through collaboration.
How can I become a speaker?

We’re always looking for practitioners, innovators, and ecosystem leaders with stories and strategies worth sharing.

If you’ve led transformative partnerships or have insights that push the industry forward, we’d love to hear from you.
