Year One: A Newbie’s Perspective
My first GoHighLevel LevelUp Summit experience in 2022 came right after attending the inaugural SaaSpreneur Mastermind in Dallas that May. That event was a turning point for me, as I decided to go all in on GoHighLevel.
The first LevelUp Summit in October was the perfect place to build on the momentum I gained, and I was thrilled to reconnect with so many people from the mastermind.
From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was part of something much bigger. The energy was electric, the venue stunning, and there was an unmistakable excitement in the air.
It was like a Las Vegas production—from the grand stage setups to the after-parties and networking events, every detail was designed to make it an unforgettable experience.
The speakers that year were incredible. Billy Gene, Frank Kern, Julie Chanell, Peng Joon, and Josh Nelson, all brought unique insights and perspectives. I particularly enjoyed hearing from Julie, who touched on funnel strategies that resonated deeply with me.
It was also great reconnecting with Melissa Blair and Ray O’Daniel, some of the first people I knew within the GoHighLevel community.
The HighLevel Team: Meeting the People Behind the Platform
Beyond the speakers, what truly made the experience special was the HighLevel team. These weren’t just people working behind the scenes—they were dedicated to helping us succeed, and their passion for the platform was infectious.
Meeting them and learning directly from the developers and support team, who make everything so seamless, was invaluable.
Networking and Parties: A Vegas-Like Experience
And of course, the networking! The evening parties were not just fun but incredible opportunities to build meaningful relationships. Whether it was catching up with the friends I made at the SaaSpreneur event or connecting with new people in the industry, these events were unforgettable.
Picture lively music, an energetic crowd, and a vibe that felt like something straight out of a Las Vegas show—that’s how I’d describe the parties and networking at the summit.
My GoHighLevel LevelUp Summit Experience with AI and Networking
Fast forward to 2023, and I returned to the GoHighLevel LevelUp Summit with even more excitement. This time, I was excited to see how GoHighLevel’s AI integration had revolutionized almost every part of the platform.
The summit provided unparalleled networking opportunities, and the evening parties felt like a Las Vegas production—full of energy and connection.
This time, I was excited to see the return of Billy Gene and Frank Kern, as well as Perry Belcher, Allie Bloyd and Matt Deseno, who made the second year even more memorable.
Their talks offered fresh perspectives and actionable advice that helped me push the boundaries of my business growth.
Reconnecting with Christine Seale, Ray O’Daniel, and James Hurst, as well as the OGs from the first year, reminded me of just how strong this community really is.
AI Integration: A Game-Changer for GoHighLevel
But what really stood out this past year was GoHighLevel’s integration of AI into the platform. AI now powers almost every aspect of the app, streamlining tasks and supercharging productivity.
Whether it’s automating workflows, generating customer insights, or improving marketing strategies, the AI tools are transforming the way we work. For anyone serious about scaling their business, the new AI functionalities are game-changing.

Exhibitors and Startups: Innovation Meets Opportunity
The exhibitors were another highlight. It was fascinating to see how startups are integrating with GoHighLevel in innovative ways. These companies showed just how adaptable and scalable the platform is, and it left me full of new ideas for my own business.
Parties and Networking: A Vegas Production Once Again
And let’s not forget the parties and networking! Once again, the summit felt like a Vegas production, with top-tier entertainment and vibrant networking opportunities.
Every evening, the event transformed into a party, but with a purpose—these were some of the best times to meet people, exchange ideas, and build relationships that went beyond just business.
Speakers and Awards: A Community That Inspires
One of the most inspiring moments of the summit was watching the award ceremony on the final day. The number of people being recognized has grown each year, which is a testament to how much the GoHighLevel community is thriving.
Being part of the audience, cheering for those reaching new heights, and sharing in their success felt like being part of a larger family. It was a reminder of why this community is so special.
Year Three: Excited for What’s Next in 2025
As I look ahead to the 2025 HighLevel Summit, I’m more excited than ever. The summit has become a key event for my business growth, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store this year.
From new AI innovations to even more powerful networking opportunities, I know it will be another unforgettable experience.
