Austin, TX – September, 15, 2026CREW, an invitation-only community of VP-level and above executives, founders and business leaders, today announced its CREW Fall Summit, bringing hundreds of leaders together October 7–8 at Diamond Creek Farms, a 100-acre property just outside Nashville, Tennessee.

The 1.5-day gathering is built around a simple premise: build the relationships before you need them. CREW gives executives a trusted peer network for candid counsel, fresh perspectives and real-world advice on the decisions that shape both their professional and personal lives. Those relationships can lead to new ideas, partnerships, talent and career opportunities.

“CREW was built on a simple idea: invest in yourself and your relationships before you need them,” said Adam McGraw, co-founder and CEO of CREW. “The Fall Summit takes that philosophy out of the conference room. It gives leaders the space to step away from the day-to-day, challenge their thinking, learn from people outside their organizations and have the conversations that can shape what comes next.”

The setting reinforces the experience. Diamond Creek Farms’ 100 acres of open countryside, outdoor spaces and informal gathering areas create an environment designed to get leaders out of their usual routines and into deeper conversations.
