What would you invest to learn from 18 of the world’s leading negotiation authorities?
On September 26, 2026, eighteen of the world’s leading voices in negotiation are coming together for the World Negotiation Summit 2026 — all speaking live and online the same day.
Different philosophies. Different methodologies. Different experiences. All working to benefit one very good cause. 100% of the net proceeds will be donated to Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). Developing your dealmaking skills can support an organization doing extraordinary work around the world.
I will be speaking at 1:40-2:05 PM ET / 12:40-1:05 CT / 7:40-8:05 PM Central European Time on a subject which is key to negotiating better: DEAL Courageously! How to Negotiate the Tough Stuff. We’ll examine how to stop stopping yourself, and the secret to get what you really want even when it isn’t an easy conversation!
Guess what? I am looking forward to being a participant as much as a speaker. It is rare to have this much negotiation knowledge assembled in one place on one day.

Negotiation is not one single methodology. If you are responsible for sales, procurement, contracts, leadership, conflict, influence or major deals, you should understand the different schools of thought — challenge them, compare them and decide what actually works for you.
And … if negotiation is part of what you do for a living … this is one Saturday worth protecting in your calendar.
Go Negotiate!
