East Coast School 2026 Speakers

Image by Chris Richman

Welcome to East Coast School, a 4-day intensive workshop designed to immerse attendees in a deep dive learning environment. Attendees study with one instructor for four full days which allows them to leave with a firm grasp of the topic of instruction. Courses are designed to be a well rounded mix of lecture, hands on learning and solid business principals which means students leave with a wealth of knowledge to help take their business to the next level.

Bonus Pre-Con Class - SOLD OUT

This year at East Coast School we are trying something new. A bonus pre-con class that will happen on Sunday, June 7th at 6:30 pm. It will be taught by our very own Chris Richman! Here’s the catch, space is very limited, so we are only going to offer these seats for a very limited time. You must register before December 15th, 2025 in order to secure your seat for this class.
