Why This Exists

You've Done the Conferences. This Is Something Else.

You know the routine: a lanyard, a buffet, a stack of business cards from people you'll never call. Afternoons that produce contacts — not contracts.

This is built differently. One afternoon in Beirut, every meeting is scheduled for you: twenty-plus face-to-face conversations with vetted owners and executives, run with the precision of an official world-record attempt — witnessed by Guinness World Records.

And it means something bigger than your pipeline. 1,500 leaders in one room is not an event — it's evidence. Evidence that Lebanon's private sector is alive, organized, and worth betting on.

🔒 The Member Brief — Approved Members Only

Which record we're attempting — and the number we must beat — is disclosed in the confidential Member Brief after your application is approved. The world finds out when we're ready. You find out first.

Built for Owners — Not Spectators

A Room as Carefully Curated as the Record Itself

Membership is by application, and every profile is reviewed. Not to keep people out — to make sure all twenty of your meetings are worth having.

01

The Owner

Founders and business owners running established companies. You've proven the model — this room is where your next clients, partners and allies are sitting.

02

The Executive

C-suite and senior executives who carry the relationships their organizations run on — and know that twenty right conversations can change a year.

03

The Builder

Senior leaders, partners and rainmakers building something real. You bring energy to a room — this one returns it with interest.

Andre Abi Awad with entrepreneurs at the 100 Entrepreneurs Gathering — HORECA Talks 2024
Your Convener

Andre Abi Awad

200K+ Professionals Trained 57 Countries 18 Years Advising Owners Gathering Entrepreneurs Since 2015 3 Languages

Business advisor, keynote speaker and founder of Entreprenergy, Andre has spent 18 years helping business owners escape the Owner's Trap — building companies that run, and grow, without them.

Since 2015, Andre has been gathering entrepreneurs under one roof to network — through the Entreprenergy Summit, the LikeMinded Gatherings, and the 100 Entrepreneurs Gathering, held in 6 countries so far. This record attempt is that mission at its largest scale yet.

Now he's convening Lebanon's largest-ever room of business leaders — with a national coalition of universities, accelerators, business associations and service clubs behind it — to prove what the country's private sector can do in one afternoon.

Before You Apply

Questions Sharp Operators Ask

Why don't you name the record publicly?

Strategy. Record attempts are competitive, and we see no reason to hand our playbook to other organizers. Approved members receive the full picture — the record, the number to beat, and how we win — in the confidential Member Brief.

Who qualifies?

Established business owners, executives and senior leaders. No students, no spectators. Every profile is reviewed so all twenty of your meetings are with peers worth meeting.

Why do I apply before paying?

Because the room is the product. A guaranteed seat next to unvetted strangers is worth nothing; a guaranteed seat in a curated room of 1,500 leaders is worth many times the membership. We review first so the value holds — payment is only requested after approval.

What does $100 actually buy?

A guaranteed seat at a once-in-history event, 20+ concierge-scheduled meetings with vetted leaders, months of member networking before the day, and your name in the founding story of an official world-record attempt. The fee funds the community; the record is what we build together.

What does a Legacy Partner get for $500?

Everything a Founding Member gets — plus ten months of your offer in front of the community, a produced and promoted feature interview, VIP treatment on the day, and your name where the story is told. If your customers are business owners, this room is your market.

Is my place at the attempt guaranteed?

Approved Founding Members and Legacy Partners receive a guaranteed seat and a reserved meeting schedule. Applicants are confirmed by mid-April 2027, based on qualification and capacity. Counting toward the official record requires completing the full meeting protocol on the day — we schedule everything so you can.

When and where, exactly?

Beirut, May 2027, at one of Lebanon's largest venues. Members receive the confirmed date and venue first.
