Who Attends the Own Your Time Summit
These are not tire-kickers. Our registrants are established self-employed professionals web designers, digital marketers, copywriters, and consultants who are actively running their businesses and looking for tools, services, and solutions to help them grow.
They have one defining characteristic: they're still the primary technician in their business, and they know it's time to change that.
That means they're actively shopping for:
- Project management and team collaboration tool
- CRM, client onboarding, and business automation software
- Bookkeeping, legal, and financial services
- HR, hiring platforms, and virtual assistant services
- Coaching, training, and professional development resources

Why This Summit Is Different
Most virtual summits pile up 40 speakers and send you a replay link.
The Own Your Time Summit is built differently, it's a guided three-day transformation, not a content dump. Attendees show up live, participate in Q&A, and leave with a concrete plan to hire their first (or next) team member.
That level of engagement is rare. And for your brand, it means you're not just getting impressions, you're getting associated with a moment of real decision-making in their business.
Hosted by Eric Dingler, author of Hire to Grow and host of the Eric Dingler Leadership Podcast: Building and Leading Remote Teams. This summit carries trust built over years of helping business owners make the leap from solo operator to team leader.

The Own Your Time Welcome Box
The first 100 All-Access Pass buyers receive a physical Own Your Time Welcome Box delivered during the first week of registration. In a virtual event world, this is rare and powerful.
Your brand doesn’t just appear on a screen. It shows up at their door, sits on their desk, and becomes a daily, physical reminder of your business long after the summit ends.
Premier — Own the Box. Own the Moment.
This isn’t just placement; it’s full ownership. The Welcome Box is branded as The [Your Brand] Welcome Box, with your logo printed directly on the box itself. Inside, every recipient gets a co-branded travel mug; something they’ll use daily, keeping your brand in front of them long after the summit ends.
Gold — Inside Every Box, On Every Desk
Your brand is placed directly into the hands of every recipient. A custom item (from our approved list) is printed with your logo and included in all 100 boxes. We handle everything, from production to fulfillment, so your brand shows up polished and ready to be used.
Silver & Bronze — Get Physical Visibility (Optional Add-On)
Add your own custom item to the Welcome Box for $500. It’s a simple, cost-effective way to move beyond digital exposure and put your brand directly into your audience’s workspace; where it can be seen and used every day.
Bonus Reach: The Eric Dingler Leadership Podcast
Premier and Gold sponsors also receive commercial placements on the Eric Dingler Leadership Podcast: Building and Leading Remote Teams — reaching an audience of business owners actively building and managing remote teams. This extends your brand visibility well beyond the three days of the summit itself.
Premier: 12 pre-roll + 12 mid-roll episodes
Gold: 4 pre-roll episodes
Silver: 2 pre-roll episodes

Daily Door Prizes & Bingo —
Sponsor the WOW Moments
Each day of the Own Your Time Summit opens with a live Welcome Session and every Welcome Session includes a door prize drawing for attendees who show up live. Sponsors and speakers are invited to donate door prizes, and we set the bar high on purpose.
We're talking WOW-level prizes. Think:
- Apple AirPods or iPad
- Two round-trip airline tickets
- Lifetime access to your software or service
- A premium coaching package
- High-end physical products
These prizes create buzz, drive live attendance, and put your brand at the center of one of the most memorable moments of the entire summit. If your prize is announced on stage, your brand gets the spotlight.
Daily Bingo Game
We also run a daily Bingo game throughout the summit; a fun, interactive way to keep attendees engaged across all three days. Bingo prizes can be anything: a free trial of your product, a 1-on-1 coaching call, a physical item, a gift card. It's your call. It's a low-barrier, high-visibility way to get your brand in front of attendees in a moment of excitement.
