Session times: 1 PM Eastern, confirmed
Every session runs live at 1 PM US Eastern. That is 10 AM Pacific, 6 PM in the UK, 7 PM in Central Europe and 10:30 PM in India. If you are outside the Americas, the replay policy now matters less than it used to: the official page confirms replays within 24 hours of each session.
The advertised runtime is wrong, and it is worth planning around. The official page says roughly one hour. Session 1 ran 81 minutes and session 2 ran 89 minutes, and in both Gadzhi said on air that he was over time. Budget 90 minutes.
What the sessions actually covered
Episode titles are marketing. Below is what the first three sessions contained, taken from the replays we watched on September 8 and 9, 2026. Sessions 4 and 5 aired and we did not review them, so those rows carry only what Gadzhi previewed on stage. We are not going to characterise content we have not watched.
| Session | What was actually taught | Runtime | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Sept 6 | The argument that a second job is not a side hustle, the “turning point” framing, and the four-step system Gadzhi calls 3DS: develop, distribute, deliver, scale. No tactics and no software. Rick Ross interview at the close. | 81 min | Watched |
| 2 · Sept 7 | Step one, develop. Finding a “profitable pocket”, letting AI pick the topic instead of your own interests, and a live on-screen build of a finished product. The $1,995 Monetise offer opens at roughly the 82-minute mark. | 89 min | Watched |
| 3 · Sept 8 | Distribution and delivery in one session. The method is creator partnerships: build no audience of your own, partner with micro creators between 10,000 and 100,000 followers, build a product for their audience and split revenue. Two pre-recorded software walkthroughs. Two bonuses were added to the offer with no price change. | 82 min | Watched |
| 4 · Sept 9 | Aired. Previewed on stage as Russell Brunson taking the whole session on scale rather than a guest slot. Not reviewed here. | – | Aired, not reviewed |
| 5 · Sept 13 | Aired. Billed as the live build finale and as step four, scale. Never previewed on stage. Not reviewed here. | – | Aired, not reviewed |
Three things the schedule page does not tell you
- The after-hours sections are cut from the replays. Each session ends, the stream is cut, and a separate informal segment runs for live viewers only. Russell Brunson joined the first two. Myron Golden joined the second. Two further guests, introduced as Roman and David, joined the third. Watch the replay and you get the presentation and nothing after it.
- Each day had a workbook behind a password given out live. The password was spoken near the end of the session and changed daily. We are not republishing the values. It is the organizers’ gate to keep, and posting them removes the only real reason to attend live.
- A Guinness World Records attempt ran across the week. An adjudicator named Kenzie was introduced on camera in session 1, and Gadzhi said live attendance counted toward it. Which record, and whether it was achieved, is not published anywhere we can find. Checked September 8, 2026.
Registration is closed
Registration ran through the organizers' own flow and only there, from August 17 to September 6, 2026. That page now returns a 404 reading “This event is over.” Around a launch of this size, lookalike pages appear promising early access or reserved seats, and several are still live now that the real one is down. Attendance was always free with no card required, so any page charging for a seat was never official. The is-it-legit page carries the full checklist for separating real coverage from opportunists.
What still holds up: the review, the host profiles, and what was sold during the week.
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.
