Free registration is open. Five live sessions, September 6 to 13, 2026.
Who is on stage
Two hosts who have never taught together before, covering opposite halves of the same problem: Iman gets you from nothing to something, Russell gets that something to scale.
Why this pairing is unusual covers what each host is actually good at and which sessions suit you.
Co-founder, ClickFunnels
Two decades of selling online, one of the largest bootstrapped software companies in the world, and a set of books that a very large share of this industry learned from. Russell handles the money mechanics at the Summit.
Founder, Educate & GrowYourAgency
Left school at sixteen, built an agency, then built an education company teaching other people to do the same. His three opening sessions are the ones aimed squarely at somebody starting from nothing.
These three have been associated with the 2026 Summit line-up. Treat them as likely drop-ins rather than guaranteed scheduled sessions - guest slots at launch-style events shift, and nothing here is a promise from the organisers.
Sales, offers and stage selling
A long-running fixture on the same speaking circuit as Russell, known for teaching the psychology and mechanics of high-ticket selling.
Offer creation and live selling
Known for coaching people through building and selling premium offers, frequently on the same stages as the Summit hosts.
Motivation and mindset
One of the better-known motivational speakers working today, typically brought in for the mindset half of an event rather than tactics.
Most events in this category stack a dozen speakers, give each of them twenty minutes, and hope the volume compensates for the depth. Side Hustle Summit 2026 does the opposite. Two hosts carry five sessions between them, which means each one gets a full hour rather than a slot.
The genuinely unusual part is that Russell Brunson and Iman Gadzhi reach almost entirely different people. Russell's audience is funnel operators, information-product sellers and small business owners, skewing older and already trading. Iman reaches a much younger audience, most of whom have never made a sale. Those two groups barely touch, and neither host has taught alongside the other before.
Iman leads days 1, 2 and 3 on September 6, 7 and 8, covering how a beginner picks a model, builds it with AI, and finds demand that already exists. Russell leads day 4 on September 9, covering offer structure, funnels and repeat customers. Both appear together for the live build on September 13.
Three sessions to one is deliberate. This is a beginner event, and the difficulty for beginners sits almost entirely in Iman's half. Russell's hour becomes the most valuable one on the schedule the moment you have something to sell, and close to theoretical before that.
If you have never sold anything online, protect days 1 to 3 and treat day 4 as a map of where you are heading. If you already sell something that converts badly, invert that completely: watch day 4 and the finale, and skim the rest. The fit check works through eight specific situations.
For the longer version of each, the pairing guide covers why the combination works, Iman's sessions are broken down here, and Russell's hour is covered here.
