About the Summit

Bigger isn't always better.

This year's After Loss Summit will be small by design with attendance capped at just 50 participants to foster deeper connections and personalized learning. You asked, we listened: More time together, more networking, more impactful exchanges.

Dates and Venue: October 22 - 24, 2025 at the Courtyard Atlanta Decatur Downtown/Emory, Decatur, GA

New Location Highlights: This year, we are excited to move our summit to the charming suburb of Decatur, the hometown of our co-founder Rachel Donnelly. This new location was carefully chosen to enhance the intimate, community-focused experience of the After Loss Summit.
