April 22, 2026 | Refinery at Domino, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
The modern business school for brands — live, in one day.
EVENT OVERVIEW
A one-day, in-person experience for the leaders building the next generation of consumer brands.
Hosted By:
BrandSchool Live is where brand builders, operators, and executives step out of the day-to-day to think bigger about leadership, money, and the future of commerce.
Across a single curated day, you’ll:
Learn from operators and brand leaders who’ve actually built and scaled.
Get practical tools to navigate growth, finance, and modern distribution.
Sit in the room with the people shaping what’s next in beauty, wellness, food, fashion, and lifestyle.
Think of it as business school for brands — delivered live, in one unforgettable day.
Meghan has spent over a decade building platforms that connect consumer brands with the partners who help them grow — from retailers and distributors to investors and media. She’s interviewed hundreds of founders and operators and has produced large-scale events and intimate gatherings that give leaders the tools, relationships, and clarity they need to build enduring brands.
Brian is a veteran entrepreneur and operator behind some of the most successful shoppable media initiatives in the industry, helping generate billions in sales for major networks and partners. His work sits at the intersection of storytelling, distribution, and commerce — and informs how BrandSchool Live thinks about the future of “shop the story.”
LOCATION
BrandSchool Live will take place at Refinery, a beautifully designed studio at the Domino complex in Williamsburg. It’s an intimate, light-filled space designed for filmed conversations, meaningful connection, and premium hospitality — not a cavernous convention center.
A glimpse of the excitement, energy, and creativity waiting for you at the event!
