The story behind the summit

Two Oklahomans. Two very different paths. One reunion in Belize.

More than a decade ago, Dallas Slough and Veronica Ray met in Oklahoma while both were in the early chapters of building businesses of their own. They were learning the way entrepreneurs usually learn: by doing the work, taking chances, paying to get in the right rooms, attending conferences, joining masterminds, sitting through seminars, trying ideas, making mistakes and continuing to build.

Over the years, their journeys kept crossing in unexpected places — from business events and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to both being interviewed for a late-night show in Hollywood.

Then life took them in different directions. Dallas went west to Hollywood. Veronica went south and built a life in Belize. Now those paths are meeting again on the Placencia Peninsula — this time with a purpose: bring together people who want to learn, share what has worked, compare experiences and create new business opportunities.

Belize Business Summit isn't about showing up with all the answers. It's about combining Belize knowledge + outside perspective + today's tools in one room — and seeing what happens when ambitious people actually talk to each other.

Why Placencia?

Because good business conversations don't have to happen under fluorescent lights.

We want this to feel different: serious business during the day, Caribbean air around you, and enough time to actually know the people in the room.

The backdrop matters too

Come for the business. Remember where it happened.

The first summit is being built around the Placencia Peninsula because getting out of the normal routine changes the conversation. Friday evening gives people time to arrive and connect. Saturday is for learning, masterminding and building relationships — with Belize around you the entire time.

"The best outcome isn't that you heard a good speaker. It's that you leave with a better idea, a clearer next move, and three people you should know."
Belize first. Visitors welcome.

Built in Belize. Open to bigger ideas.

This first summit is being created primarily for Belize business owners, entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs. Visitors are welcome too — but the heart of the room is Belize: local businesses, local opportunities and people who want to make 2027 bigger.

📍 Placencia Peninsula, Belize

We are intentionally confirming the exact beachfront venue after early attendance numbers are known so we can choose the right space instead of making attendees pay for unnecessary resort overhead.

Questions

The important stuff.

Where exactly is the event?

On the Placencia Peninsula, Belize. We are comparing beachfront venues and will announce the exact property after early attendance is confirmed.

Why haven't you announced the venue yet?

Because we would rather size the venue around real demand than commit attendees to unnecessary resort costs. Registered attendees will receive the exact venue well before the event.

Who should attend?

Business owners, entrepreneurs, side-hustlers, professionals and people seriously considering starting something in 2027. The event is Belize-focused, but international visitors are welcome.

Do I need to attend Friday?

No. Friday evening is the welcome mixer. Saturday is the main summit. Friday simply gives people traveling into Placencia more time to meet each other.

Is food included?

Final refreshment and food details will be announced with the venue. We are keeping the first ticket affordable instead of hiding expensive resort packages inside the admission price.

What if the event is cancelled?

If the summit does not proceed, founding ticket purchases will be refunded.

Want your company in front of Belize entrepreneurs?

Founding sponsorship opportunities will be limited for the first summit.
