During its fourth annual Reunion held in the Fort Worth Stockyards, owners of boutique professional services firms will construct their 2027 operational blueprints with the help of artificial intelligence.
The Reunion ensures they leave with a completed 2027 operating plan. Our members will create it in a single day, employing AI, based on their own data, alongside 150 peers who operate businesses similar to theirs.”— Jeff Klaumann, President, Collective 54DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, August 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Collective 54, the mastermind community for founders creating AI-Native professional services firms, will hold its fourth annual Reunion from October 26 to 27, 2026, at Hotel Drover in the Fort Worth Stockyards. One hundred fifty founders and executives from boutique professional services firms will assemble for two days, with one day dedicated to developing the most critical document of their year: the 2027 operating plan.
Attendees will not passively observe. Every member will bring their own company’s figures, and Co-Founder, Collective 54’s custom-built AI agent, will handle the substantial work while Collective 54 founder Greg Alexander and the Collective 54 team guide the group through the process step by step. By day’s end, each founder will possess a tailored operating plan specifying exactly what to prioritize in 2027 and precisely how to carry it out. No consultant, no six-week engagement, and no five-figure invoice; the plan is complete before the return flight.
Beyond the planning session, members will experience everything the Reunion is recognized for: keynote presentations from main stage speakers, success narratives from founders managing similarly scaled firms, and two days of peer connections that persist for years after the event. The gathering will also include the Member Recognition Dinner, where Collective 54 honors the contributions members have made to the community over the past year. Every seat is occupied by an owner or executive of a boutique professional services firm following the same strategy of evolving into an AI-Native firm, making it a uniquely specialized gathering.
The Reunion is limited to 150 participants and is available to all Collective 54 members on a first-come, first-served basis until all spots are filled.
"Most events send a founder home feeling inspired, or worse, loaded with ideas that will never fully materialize. The Reunion sends them home with their 2027 operating plan finished. A strategy firm would charge many times the ticket price to produce that document and take six weeks to deliver it. Our members will build it in a day, using AI, on their own data, alongside 150 peers who run firms just like theirs. That is what turns two great days at the Reunion into a better year." Jeff Klaumann, President, Collective 54.
About Collective 54
Collective 54 is the mastermind community for founders and executives of boutique professional services firms. Collective 54 is the authority on guiding those firms to become AI-Native, and coined the category: the AI-Native Boutique Firm. An AI-Native Boutique Firm is one where AI delivers the work and people oversee judgment, so growth no longer depends on billable hours and headcount.
Collective 54 membership offers three components. Methodology: the proven approaches to running an AI-Native boutique firm, from client acquisition to pricing to delivery to exit. Technology: Co-Founder, Collective 54’s AI, which applies that methodology within the member’s firm. Capacity: Collective 54 staff who operate Co-Founder on a member’s behalf and deliver completed work.
Members are founders, owners, and equity-holding executives of firms with 10 to 250 employees and $5 million to $50 million in revenue. Every member firm falls under NAICS 54, the professional services code that Collective 54 is named after. NAICS 54 encompasses nine sub-verticals, and Collective 54 serves all nine: legal services, accounting and tax, architecture and engineering, specialized design, IT and software development, management consulting, scientific research and development, advertising and public relations, and other professional and technical services. Collective 54 has a few hundred members across North America.
Founders join Collective 54 to increase profits, simplify scaling, and make an exit feasible. Sixty-one Collective 54 members have sold their firms since early 2020, for just over $3.5 billion in total value.
