What Makes
EFC Summit Different

Real Solutions, Not Just Motivation

We don't do fluff. Every session is designed to give you strategies and systems you can implement in your school the moment you return. Walk away with a clear action plan, not just good feelings.

Learn from School Owners Who've Done It

Our speakers aren't theorists—they're school owners who've built successful martial arts businesses in Australia and New Zealand. They understand your market, your challenges, and what actually works in our region.

Network with Your Peers

Connect with school owners from across Australia and New Zealand. Share challenges, swap strategies, and build relationships with people who genuinely understand what you're facing.

Ongoing Support After the Event

Summit attendees get access to the EFC Community where you can ask questions, share wins, and stay connected with the strategies you learned long after the event ends.

What Our Past Attendees Say

Sarah M., London

The EFC Summit completely changed how I run my school. I implemented the retention strategies immediately and saw our renewals increase by 40% in three months.

David K., Auckland

Best investment I've made in my business. The networking alone was worth the ticket price, but the strategies I learned have added six figures to my annual revenue.

James T., Melbourne

I was sceptical about another 'business event,' but this was different. Real strategies from real school owners who understand our market. No fluff, just results.

Frequently asked questions

What's included in my Summit ticket?

Your ticket includes access to all sessions on Friday and Saturday, networking lunch on Friday, breakfast and lunch on Saturday, morning and afternoon tea breaks, and access to the Summit networking dinner on Friday evening. Accommodation is booked separately.

Can I bring my staff or business partner?

Absolutely! Many school owners bring their leadership team. Each person needs their own ticket, but you'll all benefit from learning and implementing together.

What if I can't attend both days?

The Summit is designed as a complete experience across both days. Sessions build on each other, and you'll miss critical content if you only attend one day. We strongly recommend committing to the full event.

Will sessions be recorded?

Selected sessions may be recorded for EFC Members, but we encourage live attendance. The networking, conversations, and relationships you build are just as valuable as the formal sessions—and those can't be captured on video.

What's the cancellation policy?

Cancellation policies will be outlined during the registration process. We recommend reviewing these carefully before booking.

Is this event only for EFC software users?

Not at all! The Summit is open to any martial arts school owner in Australia or New Zealand, regardless of what software you use. The strategies we teach work regardless of your tech stack.

What should I bring?

Bring a notebook, laptop or tablet for taking notes, business cards for networking, comfortable clothing (business casual), and an open mind ready to learn and implement.

Will there be opportunities to ask questions?

Yes! Most sessions include Q&A time, and you'll have plenty of opportunities during breaks and meals to connect with speakers and fellow attendees.
