TL;DR: Three-Day Summit Equips Consultants, Coaches, Boutique Firms and Diverse Suppliers to Win Corporate Clients in an AI-Driven, More Competitive Market
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Corporate buyers are pickier, slower to decide, and increasingly leaning on AI to vet who they hire, and BoldHaus, now in its 19th year of helping small firms win corporate clients, is bringing its INSIDE EDGE Growth Summit to Fort Lauderdale to help them compete. The three-day event, running Oct. 12-15, 2026, is built for consultants, executive coaches, trainers, boutique firm founders, diverse suppliers, and self-employed service providers who want to land, expand, and scale corporate and organizational clients.
Founder and CEO Angelique Rewers has spent her career on both sides of the corporate buying table. Today, she and the BoldHaus team help small businesses navigate that same buying environment and win opportunities with major organizations. BoldHaus clients have landed work with brands including Google, Bank of America, Delta Air Lines, BMW, Chipotle, and Coca-Cola, among many others.
Held at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, INSIDE EDGE will gather roughly 250 expert-based entrepreneurs for three days of proven client-acquisition strategy, sharper competitive positioning, and practical tools to break through scaling plateaus, boost profitability, and build a network of peers navigating the same market.
“Winning corporate clients today looks nothing like it did even a few years ago,” said Angelique Rewers, CEO and founder of BoldHaus. “Sales cycles are longer, more people sit in the room before a decision gets made, and AI is now shaping how buyers find and vet the experts they hire. Small firms still hold a real advantage in this market: they’re faster, more specialized, and easier to work with. That advantage only pays off, though, if you know how to make the business case, navigate a crowded field, and be the name decision-makers already trust before they start looking.”
Why INSIDE EDGE Is Different
Unlike general small business events, INSIDE EDGE is built specifically for expert-based entrepreneurs and diverse suppliers who serve corporate, mid-market, small enterprise, higher education, nonprofit, government, and other organizational clients. The summit focuses on the realities of selling into organizations, where multiple decision-makers, layered approval processes, and longer sales cycles call for a different approach to marketing, business development, and growth.
What to Expect at INSIDE EDGE 2026
- A Proprietary Playbook – A 150+ page, full-color guide to building a profitable, scalable business, built on BoldHaus's 20+ years of work in this space.
- Proven B2B Strategies – Insights drawn from helping entrepreneurs in more than 72 countries land and grow corporate and organizational clients.
- In-Depth, Practical Content – Frameworks for positioning, marketing, lead generation, navigating decision-makers, closing deals, and expanding existing accounts.
- High-Caliber Networking – Three days alongside 250 consultants, coaches, boutique firm founders, and diverse suppliers working the same kind of deals, building relationships that extend well beyond the summit.
Why Now: The Corporate Client Market Has Changed
Organizations still rely on outside experts and specialized firms to solve their toughest business challenges, but how decision-makers discover, evaluate, and select those providers has shifted. Small business owners serving corporate clients are now navigating:
- More competition for the attention of corporate decision-makers
- Greater demand for a clear business case tied to organizational priorities and measurable outcomes
- Longer, more complex sales cycles involving multiple decision-makers and stakeholders
- AI-driven changes in how potential providers are discovered, researched, and evaluated
- Greater pressure to differentiate their expertise in an increasingly crowded market
At the same time, small businesses and diverse suppliers still offer organizations real advantages: specialized expertise, agility, innovation, speed, and direct access to senior-level talent.
“The opportunity in front of small firms right now is enormous, but being great at what you do has never been enough to win it,” Rewers said. “You have to know how to position your expertise, build demand for it, make the business case, and navigate a buying process that’s gotten more complicated, not less. INSIDE EDGE exists to hand small business owners that playbook, so the right decision-makers choose them before they even finish the search.”
BoldHaus arrives in Fort Lauderdale on the heels of back-to-back industry recognition. The BoldHaus Collective, the company’s flagship mentorship program, recently won a Gold Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Award for Learning and Development and a Bronze Award for Sales Performance, honors judged on business need, program design, innovation, and measurable real-world results. It’s third-party validation of the same approach INSIDE EDGE attendees will get in the room: strategy built to produce outcomes.
What Past Attendees Say
“Every session is worth the price of admission on its own. Just in the first hour, it was worth the price of crossing the country, getting a hotel, and being in the room. And then you’re in the room with amazing people. There’s so much information, it’s very much worth being here, and I’m glad I’m here”, said Dr. Wayne Pernell, CEO & Founder, DynamicLeader®.
“The last time I was at this BoldHaus event was 2021. At that time, I had one team member and was really just trying to get into my groove as an entrepreneur. Now, four years later, I have a team of 10. What’s really valuable is that at those different stages of my business, I still got value. I’m still getting tools that are really relevant and right on time for me,” said Laura Knights, CEO & Founder, Knights Consulting LLC.
