CALL FOR SPEAKERS | VIRTUAL SUMMIT
We're building something important.
Will you help shape it?
September 17 & 18, 2026
The Executor Gap Summit is a first-of-its-kind virtual summit dedicated to improving the experience of executors and families navigating estate administration after a loss. We're inviting forward-thinking professionals, innovators, and advocates to pitch a session.
Estate administration is broken. Let's fix it together.
After a loss, families face a mountain of administrative, legal, and financial responsibilities — often with no preparation, no roadmap, and no support. Executors and administrators are expected to navigate complex systems at their most emotionally vulnerable moment.
The Executor Gap Summit exists to change that. This summit brings together professionals who are actively building better tools, frameworks, and practices for families navigating the administrative work that follows a loss. If you're doing this work (or thinking deeply about how it should be done) we want to hear from you.
WHO SHOULD PITCH
We want presenters with a clear, exciting idea.
- You have a concrete idea for how to make the executor or family experience after a loss better: more humane, efficient, or clear.
- You can articulate the problem and your proposed solution in an engaging and interesting way.
- You bring real-world experience as an after loss professional, attorney, financial advisor, organizer, software developer, educator, researcher, or advocate.
- You're focused on education and impact, not a sales pitch. You may reference your tools or resources where relevant, but the session is about value, not promotion.
- You're committed to showing up for families when they need support most, and you want to be part of the broader conversation about how this field evolves.
