The free ticket: what it included, and why it is closed
Free registration is closed. It opened August 17, 2026 and shut on September 6 at 1 PM Eastern, and the summit ran September 6 to 13. No page could legitimately sell or reserve a seat, because there was no paid tier to sell: attendance was 100% free, no card, no upsell to attend. Here is what the ticket included.

Registration is closed. It opened August 17, 2026 and shut on September 6 at 1 PM Eastern, when Episode 1 began. The event ran through September 13 and the official registration page now returns a 404 reading “This event is over.” Attendance was 100% free throughout: no paid tickets, no card required, no upsell to attend, and replays within 24 hours of each session to registered attendees. No encore, public replay archive or waitlist has been published for the free event.
What the free ticket included
This summit broke the format's usual pattern. There was no paid ticket tier at all. What every attendee got:
| Feature | Free ticket (everyone) |
|---|---|
| Live sessions on Sept 6, 7, 8, 9 and 13 at 1 PM ET | Included |
| Replay access | Emailed within 24 hours of each session, registered attendees only |
| Card required at registration | No |
| Upsell required to attend | No, per the official page |
| Price | $0 |
With no paid replay tier to weigh, the only real cost was showing up. The caution turned out to matter: “replays within 24 hours” never said how long they stayed up, and no public archive was ever published. Nothing from the week is watchable now unless you registered before September 6. See the replays page.
What worked, for the next time this format runs
Iman Gadzhi has now run this launch four times. A fifth is likely. These four points held every time:
- Register the day it opens. Launch-event onboarding favours early registrants and there is no benefit to waiting.
- Use the email you actually read. The event runs entirely on email: session links, schedule changes and replay windows all land there, and there is no login portal as a backup.
- Ignore anyone selling a “ticket”. There was no paid tier and no card required, so any page charging for access was not official.
- Block the session slots in advance. Sessions 1, 2 and 3 ran 81, 89 and 82 minutes against an advertised hour, and the after-hours segment was never recorded.
The warning that still applies
Pages selling “early access”, “reserved seats” or “VIP pre-registration” for this event were never official, and some are still live now that the real registration page is down. The organizers' own flow was the only source of a seat and it always cost nothing. The checklist for spotting impersonators is on the is-it-legit page.
How this site makes money: we earn a commission if you register for the summit through our links. We are not paid to reach a conclusion, and the organizers have no review or approval over anything published here. Full disclosure.
