Summary

What does it take to host a summit where your registration page converts at 83% and drives $63,000 in back-end course sales and $77,000 in total revenue? In today’s case study, Summit in a Box® founder Krista Miller breaks down the behind-the-scenes of her 2020 virtual summit that attracted 1,250 attendees and led to her highest-converting course launch at the time. With a two-tier all-access pass offer and a brilliant scholarship incentive that led to a 40% LIVE show-up rate for the end-of- summit masterclass that sold her course, Krista turned free attendance into high-ticket enrollment. Now, five years later with hundreds of more summits under her belt (both her own and her students), she’s reflecting on what she’d change if she ran this summit today—from rethinking her pricing strategy to why she now avoids co-hosting entirely—and how that hindsight is informing the way she hosts summits in 2025.
