SPONSORSHIP GUIDE

November 6–7, 2025 • Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea

This Year’s Theme: Ground

When the world shifts, your ground keeps you steady.

The world is moving fast—markets shift, tech evolves, and the chaos is nonstop. Worthshop 9 is a call to slow down and focus on what matters. This year, we return to the fundamentals:

  • Authentic relationships

  • Clear insight

  • Meaningful growth

Set on Maui’s south shore, Worthshop is designed for clarity, connection, and forward movement. The theme GROUND speaks to instinct, stability, and momentum—rooted in what’s real and relevant.

An Experience Like No Other

A two-day experience designed for clarity, connection, and perspective. Worthshop is a gathering for leaders in real estate, design, and modern business.

It’s built around intentional programming, shared meals, immersive experiences, and genuine connection—all set in an extraordinary Hawai‘i location.

Each day includes:

  • Morning: Sunrise wellness and curated island excursions

  • Afternoon: Plenary sessions and panels focused on insight and exchange

  • Evening: Cocktail hours, shared meals, live music, and time to connect

Now in its ninth edition, Worthshop brings together a community of people who move with purpose—grounded in craft and open to what’s next.

A Setting That Sticks

Held at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, Worthshop offers a setting that elevates the entire experience. We believe that insight needs more than information—it needs a shift in environment. Hawai‘i offers that in abundance:

  • Natural beauty and sense of place

  • A setting that invites perspective and lasting relationships

  • A backdrop for reflection, creativity, and connection

An Audience That Matters

~200 influential attendees. One unforgettable environment.

Worthshop gathers a curated group of leaders and decision-makers shaping the future of real estate, design, and lifestyle.

Who’s in the room:

  • Real estate executives, brokerage leadership, and top-producing agents

  • Luxury developers, architects, and designers

  • Business leaders, media innovators, and lifestyle entrepreneurs

  • Cultural connectors and globally minded founders

This is a values-driven community that prioritizes quality, substance, and connection over spectacle.

  • Seattle • Portland • Denver • Austin • Dallas
