Collective 54 Members to Build Their 2027 Operating Plans With AI at The Reunion

At its fourth annual Reunion in the Fort Worth Stockyards, founders of boutique professional services firms will build their 2027 operating plans using AI.

DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, August 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Collective 54, the mastermind community for founders building AI-Native professional services firms, will host its fourth annual Reunion October 26 to 27, 2026 at Hotel Drover in the Fort Worth Stockyards. One hundred fifty founders and executives of boutique professional services firms will gather for two days, one of them spent building the single most important document of their year: the 2027 operating plan.

Attendees will not sit and watch. Each member will bring their own firm’s numbers, and Co-Founder, Collective 54’s purpose-built AI agent, will do the heavy lifting while Collective 54 founder Greg Alexander and the Collective 54 team lead the room through the build step by step. By the end of the day, each founder will have a custom operating plan that states exactly what to prioritize in 2027 and exactly how to execute it. No consultant, no six-week engagement, and no five-figure invoice; the plan is finished before the flight home.

Around the build, members will get everything the Reunion is known for: main stage speakers, member success stories from founders running firms of similar size, and two days of peer relationships that outlast the event by years. The gathering will also feature the Member Recognition Dinner, where Collective 54 recognizes the contributions members have made to the community throughout the year. Every seat is held by an owner or executive of a boutique professional services firm pursuing the same strategy of becoming an AI-Native firm, making it the only room of its kind.

The Reunion is capped at 150 attendees and is open to all Collective 54 members on a first-come, first-served basis until the seats are gone.

“Most events send a founder home inspired, or worse, full of ideas that will never be fully executed. The Reunion sends them home with their 2027 operating plan finished. A strategy firm would charge many times the price of a ticket to build that document and take six weeks to deliver it. Our members will build it in a day, using AI, on their own data, alongside 150 peers who run firms just like theirs. That is what turns two great days at the Reunion into a better year.” Jeff Klaumann, President, Collective 54.

About Collective 54

Collective 54 is the mastermind community for founders and executives of boutique professional services firms. Collective 54 is the authority on helping those firms become AI-Native, and named the category: the AI-Native Boutique Firm. An AI-Native Boutique Firm is a firm where AI delivers the work and people supervise the judgment, so growth no longer depends on billable hours and headcount.

Collective 54 membership provides three things. Methodology: the proven ways to run an AI-Native boutique firm, from client acquisition to pricing to delivery to exit. Technology: Co-Founder, Collective 54’s AI, which puts that methodology to work inside the member’s firm. Capacity: Collective 54 staff who operate Co-Founder on a member’s behalf and hand back finished work.

Members are founders, owners, and equity-holding executives of firms with 10 to 250 employees and $5 million to $50 million in revenue. Every member firm is in NAICS 54, the professional services code Collective 54 is named for. NAICS 54 spans nine sub-verticals, and Collective 54 serves all nine: legal services, accounting and tax, architecture and engineering, specialized design, IT and software development, management consulting, scientific research and development, advertising and public relations, and other professional and technical services. Collective 54 has a few hundred members across North America.

Founders join Collective 54 to make more money, make scaling easier, and make an exit achievable. Sixty-one Collective 54 members have sold their firms since early 2020, for just over $3.5 billion in total value.
