High-Level Strategy in a Place That Actually Feels Worth Flying To
High-Level Strategy in a Place That Actually Feels Worth Flying To
Welcome to the Thailand Intensive - where the room is full of serious operators, the conversations go deeper than a Zoom chat ever could, and the setting is just ridiculous enough to remind you why you built this business in the first place.
This year, the Thailand Intensive brings together our Black Belt, Boardroom, and team in Phuket, Thailand for a combined event designed to sharpen strategy, deepen connections, and create momentum you can actually take home and use.
This is not another “sit in a ballroom and politely clap” kind of event.
This is where the real conversations happen.
The honest ones.
The strategic ones.
The ones that unlock the next level.

Here’s what to expect:
— High-level Intensive sessions with the whole community
— Breakout conversations and room-to-room momentum
— Guest speakers that will blow your mind
— White space for the conversations that change everything
— A premium resort setting that makes it easier to think clearly and play properly
— The kind of week that reminds you you’re building something very real
And here’s the truth:
The sessions matter.
But the magic is usually in the bits between them.
The breakfast chats.
The post-session debriefs.
The “I’ve been stuck on this for six months” conversation by the pool.
The one idea that shifts your next 12 months.

Where we'll be hanging
Where we'll be hanging
Set on the shores of Bangtao Bay in Phuket, SAii Laguna Phuket is home base for this year’s Intensive.
Think tropical beachfront, premium resort energy, and enough space to switch seamlessly between focused business conversations and the kind of exhale most founders forgot they needed.
This is the backdrop for the week:
Smart people, sharp strategy, ocean air, and fewer fluorescent conference-room vibes. A beautiful upgrade for everyone involved, including your nervous system.

Why you’ll want to be there
Why you’ll want to be there
Let’s be honest - some breakthroughs only happen in person.
Not on replay.
Not in a WhatsApp thread.
Not while half-reading notes with 14 tabs open and your phone face down pretending not to buzz.
They happen when you’re fully there.
When you’re around the right people.
When you’ve got enough space to think.
When one conversation unlocks something you couldn’t see on your own.
That’s what this week is for.
This is the one time each year the broader community comes together in one place.
To learn.
To sharpen.
To connect.
To celebrate.
To come home with more clarity than you arrived with.
No virtual version.
No substitute.
No “I’ll catch the replay” fairy tale.
If you can make it - make it!
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
We’ve pulled together a few of the most common questions to help you plan your trip.
Who can attend?
This event is for current Black Belt members, Boardroom members, and team members.
Each person attending should complete their own registration so we can confirm numbers accurately for rooms, event planning, and catering.
Can I bring my partner or family?
Yes - if you’d like to turn this into a longer Phuket trip, you can.
Some parts of the week may be open socially, while the core business sessions and some event elements will remain for registered attendees only.
More detail will be shared closer to the event.
Can I join virtually?
There is no live virtual option for this event.
Because while recordings may capture the sessions, they don’t capture what actually makes these events so valuable - the conversations, context, relationships, and in-room breakthroughs that happen around them.
What’s included?
Your event sessions are included as part of your membership.
MDC will cover the core costs of the welcome mixer, dinner on night 1 and night 3 as well as a dinner on night 2 and the adventure day and dinner that night for Boardroomers.
During the three main event days, the resort is offering an optional group lunch experience for our guests. This allows everyone who opts in to enjoy lunch together each day at the resort without needing to make individual reservations or step away to find a restaurant.
Details:
— 3 group lunches on Tues, Wed & Thurs
— Hosted at the resort with the full group
— THB 3,600 net per event attendee for all three days (this is approximately $110 USD/$160AUD/£85)
If you’d like to participate, simply let us know when you RSVP and the resort will take care of the rest. They’ll reconfirm your participation at check-in and the charge will be added to your final hotel bill for convenience.
Note: This is the direct payment of the full lunch cost from the hotel, MDC has just arranged to optimise the experience for you.
Accommodation is booked separately using the dedicated event booking link provided after registration.
Room rates include daily breakfast and standard resort inclusions as outlined in the hotel booking details.
Incidental charges (i.e. mini bar, laundry, phone calls, transfers, room service, additional meals & drinks, activities, etc.) will be settled by the guests own account.
When should I arrive and leave?
We encourage you to make your trip to Thailand and come early and stay late. Our accommodation group rate is available from 16 July 2026 to 28 July 2026 (subject to availability).
You'll want to arrive in time to join us at the welcome mixer on the early evening of the 20th July and plan to leave on or after the 24th if you’re in Black Belt and on or after the 25th if you’re in Boardroom.
Is the full schedule confirmed yet?
A high-level schedule is confirmed, with the detailed run sheet still to come.
That means yes, there is a plan.
And also yes, we’re leaving enough flexibility to make smart decisions as details are finalised (and keep a few surprises up our sleeve).
Still got questions?
Still got questions?
No worries — our events team has you covered. The finer details are still being planned and confirmed, but if you have any event-related questions, just shoot us an email and we’ll get you sorted.
