VIP EXPERIENCE
Where the Most Valuable Conversations Begin.
The biggest opportunities at eMerge rarely happen from the back of a keynote room. They happen over coffee before the session starts. Inside a conversation that wasn’t on your calendar. Around a table where founders meet investors, executives discover new partners, and ideas become opportunities.
That’s why we completely reimagined the VIP Experience for 2027. More access to influential people. More curated networking. More meaningful conversations. More time focused on what matters instead of navigating the crowd. This isn’t simply a better conference pass. It’s a better way to experience eMerge.
Your time is valuable
Why Be a VIP?
You aren’t coming to eMerge simply to attend sessions. You’re here to meet the right people, discover new opportunities, and leave with relationships that move your business forward.
Every element of the VIP Experience has been redesigned around one goal:
Helping you make every hour at eMerge more valuable.

Who VIP Is For?
Some come to attend.
Others come to be in the room.
AI Driven Match Making

Networking Opportunities
Get personalized meeting recommendations matched to your interests and goals, then lock in 1:1s with your top connections before you even arrive.
Event Updates
Get real-time updates straight to the app, from pop-up workshops to networking parties, so you never miss a moment.
Live Agenda
Your agenda, always up to date. Browse every session, keynote, and workshop in real time, then bookmark your favorites to build a schedule that’s all your own.
Who VIP Is For?
Some come to attend. Others come to be in the room.
VIP is built for people who measure conference success differently.
They don’t count sessions. They count introductions.
They don’t collect swag. They build partnerships.
They don’t come to watch innovation. They come to shape it.
This is where the real decisions get made, away from the crowd, ahead of everyone else.
