11 speakers headline Scale with Systems Live, the September 16–18, 2026 event in Phoenix, Arizona built around one promise: leave with a business system you own instead of ten rented tools that almost fit. Here's the full lineup, what each speaker brings, and how to decide if this room is actually for you.

What Each Speaker Actually Puts in Your Hands
You don't need eleven new tools after this event. You need eleven pieces of one working system. Here's the lens each speaker brings, based on the role they hold:
| Speaker | Company | System Lens |
|---|---|---|
| Keira Brinton | Keira Brinton LLC / JOA Publishing | Authority and publishing systems that turn expertise into an owned asset |
| Shannon Grainger | Big Impact HQ | High-ticket deal-making — closing buyers, not chasing browsers |
| Sherry Gideons | Thought University | Education and thought-leadership systems that scale without you on every call |
| Ron Reich | Ron Reich | Marketing strategy that compounds instead of restarting every quarter |
| Daniel Knight | Knight Ops & Unicorn Universe | Operations built to run without the founder in the middle of it |
| Tasha Antell | Tasha Antell | Growth strategy sized for founders past the scrappy-startup phase |
| Jennifer Diepstraten | Successio Sales, LLC | Repeatable sales systems that don't depend on the founder pitching |
| Lisa Cumes | CORE Copywriters | Messaging systems that do the selling before a conversation starts |
| Niko Arapkiles | Just Grow Visions | Vision-to-execution systems for sustainable growth |
| Mary Hope | Mary Hope Fitness LLC | Personal sustainability — the founder side of scaling without burnout |
| Cheri Tree | Codebreaker Technologies | Technology and automation infrastructure — the actual "system" in Scale with Systems |
Is This Lineup Built for You? Ideal Attendee vs. Poor Fit
Eleven speakers is a lot of stage time. It's only worth your seat if you're the person this room was built for.
| You're the right fit if | You're probably not, if |
|---|---|
| You're running a 6–7 figure service or coaching business past the startup phase | You're pre-revenue or still validating an offer |
| You're paying $1,000+/month for tools that don't talk to each other | You already run one owned system and just want inspiration |
| The business can't function without you personally in it | You're not ready to delegate or hand off any process |
| You've done growth sprints that didn't hold once the adrenaline wore off | You're looking for a one-time tactic, not a system overhaul |
| You want buyers and builders in the room, not just contacts | You're attending mainly to sell to other attendees |
If that first column sounds like your Tuesday, the speaker lineup isn't the draw by itself — it's the fact that every one of them is teaching toward the same outcome: one system you own, and 10+ hours a week back.
The One-System Filter: How to Judge Any Speaker Lineup
Before you commit to any event's speaker list — this one included — run it through a simple filter. This is the same standard we held the Scale with Systems Live lineup to:
- Do they own what they teach? A speaker teaching systems should run on a system, not a stack of rented tools they're affiliate-marketing.
- Does their topic connect to the others? Marketing, sales, copywriting, ops, and tech should form one machine, not eleven disconnected talks.
- Is there a build component, or just a keynote? Information without a workshop block rarely survives contact with Monday morning.
- Do they address the founder, not just the funnel? Burnout-proofing matters as much as automation — a lineup missing that half isn't complete.
- Can you reach them, or just watch them? Meet-and-greet access and small-room Q&A separate a curated room from a broadcast.
Run the Scale with Systems Live lineup through that filter and the pattern holds: publishing and authority (Brinton), deal-making (Grainger), education systems (Gideons), marketing (Reich), operations (Knight), growth strategy (Antell), sales (Diepstraten), messaging (Cumes), vision execution (Arapkiles), founder sustainability (Hope), and the technology layer that ties it together (Tree).
How to Actually Access These Speakers
Not every ticket gets you the same proximity to the stage. Here's how the tiers break down for speaker access specifically:
| Tier | Price | Speaker Access |
|---|---|---|
| Virtual Standard | $249 | Every main session live, virtual breakout rooms |
| Virtual VIP | $399 | VIP-only sessions and Q&As, priority breakout access, recordings yours forever |
| Silver | $749 | Every keynote, workshop, and build session in person, Sept 16–18 (plus Day 0, Sept 15) |
| Premium | $997 | Everything in Silver + premium seating section + priority workshop registration |
| VIP | $1,997 | Front-row seating all days, VIP Golden Connection Dinner, speaker meet and greet sessions, VIP lounge + after-party |
If you missed the live dates, the Virtual VIP tier is the practical route — full recordings, yours forever, at less than a sixth of the VIP price. If you're weighing which tier matches your goals, the day-by-day schedule shows exactly when each speaker takes the stage so you can plan around it.
What This Lineup Adds Up To
Individually, eleven speakers is a conference. Together — publishing, deal-making, marketing, ops, sales, copy, vision, founder wellbeing, and the tech layer under all of it — they're one build. That's the difference between an event that gives you contacts and one that gives you a system you walk out owning.
