At its core, EBD is built on aligned, authentic intentionality. We create sustainable, lasting impact for heart-centered, mission-driven leaders by honoring their nervous system, their values, and their capacity.
Our goal is simple: connect the right people with the right businesses and organizations, to create meaningful conversations that continue long after the conference ends.
Sustainable growth without the burnout.
Staying true to your authentic mission.
Building systems that actually fit your life.

Aligned By Design: Turning Strategy into Systems That Work the Way You Do.
At most conferences, vendors are tucked away in a hallway hoping someone walks by, and speakers disappear as soon as they step off the stage. Elevated by Design is structured differently.
Vendors ignite the energy during their dedicated experience windows, and speakers create the heartbeat of the room. The marketplace is intentionally organized so attendees have dedicated time to engage with every vendor — once marketplace experiences conclude, vendors join the conference alongside everyone else.
Likewise, speakers don't arrive, present, and leave. When they aren't facilitating their sessions, they become attendees: learning, engaging, and building relationships throughout the conference. We believe the leaders who pour into others deserve the opportunity to be poured into as well.
Every opportunity at Elevated by Design is intentionally designed to create meaningful connections, not simply increase attendance.
Be the first to know the moment attendee tickets go live, plus early access before they open to the public.
Position your products or services in front of leaders who are actively investing in their personal and professional growth. Every vendor contributes to the attendee experience — rather than simply showcasing, your space should invite attendees to explore, discover, and connect through demonstrations, assessments, hands-on activities, or interactive displays.
This is your opportunity to:
Our VIP bags are intentionally curated to feel meaningful, memorable, and elevated.
Vendors and speakers are invited to contribute thoughtfully selected items that enhance the attendee experience through genuine value, not simply another promotional giveaway.
More than booth traffic. An opportunity to build meaningful relationships with leaders aligned with the kind of transformation you provide.
Elevated by Design isn't built around presentations attendees forget by the time they get home. Our speakers create conversations that challenge assumptions, shift perspectives, and equip attendees with frameworks they can immediately apply — and when you're not presenting, you're part of the conference as an attendee, too.

EBD July 20–22, 2027 Sponsorship by Dominique Vacheresse
Elevated by Design runs July 20–22, 2027, with the two-day conference held at the Bob Crane Community Center in Upper Arlington, Ohio. The VIP Reception opens the event on Tuesday evening at a separate venue in Hilliard, Ohio.
Both vendor and speaker opportunities are $700, with payment plans available. Full sponsorship pricing is outlined in the sponsorship deck above.
This is one of the biggest ways EBD works differently. When you come on board as a vendor, speaker, or sponsor, you complete an onboarding process that captures your ideal client profile — with guided questions if you haven't documented one yet, or a simple upload if you have. We combine every participant's submission into one custom attendee profile built specifically for that event, using not just demographics but the psychographics and language that help the right people self-select in. That profile goes out to all participants about two months before EBD, along with ready-to-use marketing copy built around it, so the room is filled with attendees genuinely aligned with — and able to invest in — what you offer.
