What it is

What is Navid Moazzez's Virtual Summit Mastery?

Navid Moazzez's Virtual Summit Mastery (VSM) was an online course for hosting a virtual summit: a free online event where you interview the experts in your niche, grow your email list and sell an all-access pass to the recordings.

Navid created the program after his first summit, The Branding Summit, in November 2014. He presold the pilot on the back end of that event and got his first dozen students. Over the next 7 years it grew into a 7-module program with done-for-you templates, a private community and a 90-day action plan, and more than 1,000 students went through it.

What set Virtual Summit Mastery apart was implementation. Navid pioneered a done-for-you way of teaching virtual summits: next to the lessons, students got funnel and website templates, fill-in-the-blank copy and scripts, email automations and a step-by-step action plan. That is why the course became so popular. Even students with no tech skills or business experience could get their first summit up and running.

Their results are why the course existed. Chandler Bolt earned $370k+ and 30,000 email subscribers in less than 2 months with his Self-Publishing Success Summit. Caitlin Pyle added over 60,000 subscribers in about a week and made $502,000 from her first summit. Together, Virtual Summit Mastery students generated millions of email subscribers and 10s of millions of dollars in sales.

The last launch was in 2021. You can check out where Virtual Summit Mastery fits into the rest of Navid's story on his entrepreneurial timeline.

Chandler Bolt
Founder & CEO, Selfpublishing.com
Navid helped me earn $370k+ and 30,000 email subscribers in less than 2 months… it completely transformed our business to a multi million dollar online education company (the summit we did in 2016 was even bigger with almost 40,000 opt-ins!).

It all started with the proven business and marketing strategies Navid shared.. go sign up to his email newsletter now!
Caitlin Pyle
Founder of Proofread Anywhere
We grew an email list of over 60,000 new subscribers in about a week’s time and we generated $502,000 in revenue through our first virtual summit.

If you want step-by-step instruction and you just want to get it done with as little stress as possible, then I would absolutely recommend everything Navid Moazzez is teaching.
Rashida Heard
I am SO freaking out. I just got my first 3 A List Yes. I started sending out my invites today. I started with the A listers. One said that the Video was everything and she gets pitched a lot. One said with a video invite like that how can he say no. It was the best invite he had ever received. Thanks Navid Moazzez
Alejandro Reyes
Founder of Digital Napkin
Who else wants to go from Zero to Thought Leader in an overcrowded niche all while having a demanding full-time job?

If you're looking to make a big splash in a crowded industry, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO HAVE SUCH AN IMPACT SO FAST.

I went from a nobody in my niche to a trusted advisor and thought leader in my niche during my first summit.

Here are some numbers from our first Summit:
4,000 ish registrations (had no email list before that)
20k in Sales from the All-Access Pass (200 Sales)
$10k sponsor
= $30,000 Summit + Thought Leadership

Now everyone else is doing Summits in this space which has been cool to see.

This has been one of the best products I've invested in over the last 5 years. The step-by-step attention to detail of how to set up a successful summit has been a game changer for our business.

BTW: I'm now working full-time from home, started an agency, and gearing up for our 2nd annual summit. Thank you Navid for your belief in people and over-delivering like crazy.
Steph Gaudreau
Host of the Women's Strength Summit
Navid Moazzez gave me all the details I needed to run a very successful first-time online event.

My Women’s Strength Summit fielded nearly 20,000 free registrations and 100’s of sales.

More importantly, people commented on how valuable and professional the summit was, and that’s directly because of everything I learned from Navid.
Devin Slavin
So stoked! Just got “yes’s” from Pat Flynn & Russell Brunson! I imagine this will open up some doors for me while booking other speakers.

My first virtual summit generated over 10,000 email subscribers and hundreds of sales. I now plan on running my second summit for one of my other businesses…

Augustas Kligys
VSM graduate & host of Seller Fest Online
I launched a summit with 26 speakers, got more than 1,500 email subscribers and $15,000 in revenue. I feel that my first summit had good content, but I focused more to make the content even better on my second one, which got 2,150 optins and about $30,000 in revenue. The summit attendees commented how valuable the content on the summit was, and the some of the speakers even sent me messages that they got more business just from being part of it, which felt pretty amazing!
Lauri-Ann Ainsworth
I thought the big names would ignore me because I was new. I was able to get 31 speakers such as Russell Brunson, Ryan Levesque, Kevin Rogers, Natalie Sisson, Todd Brown, Kat Loterzo and so many other big names.

Liam Austin
VSM graduate
Just commit to doing it and you’ll see a great ROI. My email list has grown from a tiny, not so engaged list to a community of over 70,000 highly engaged subscribers in little over 12 months. My business has grown to multiple 6-figures in revenue because of my virtual summits and it’s only getting better. I am very grateful for everything I learned from Navid’s Virtual Summit Mastery.
Déborah Engelmajer
Founder at Tizzit
If you’re thinking of doing a summit the RIGHT way, then this is the program for you. It makes implementing all of the moving parts so much easier, and the community of students is really great for support too! Virtual summits are a GREAT way to reach more people and to make an impact. If you genuinely care about delivering value to people, while growing your business then this is the perfect program for you.

Sami Vesamo
VSM graduate & host of the Hyvinvointi Summit
The biggest benefit of hosting my first virtual event was the network that we built. In addition to the amazing network we built from the virtual event, we were able to get over 5,000 new email subscribers, over 400 all access pass sales and about $6,000 from sponsors. We now have a new very active Facebook group with over 2,500 people and I had a few new coaching clients as well. Following Navid’s Virtual Summit Mastery Method made everything so much easier and faster.
Verick Wayne
Huge value with the new done-for-you Summit Wizard templates man. Love the way you’re always overdelivering.
Eric Van Der Hope
Navid Moazzez's training courses has been an extremely beneficial investment that has helped me personally and in my business. Nobody goes into the details of preparing a virtual summit more than what Navid does. There is nothing like his course anywhere. His level of commitment to helping you (if you put the effort into it) goes beyond what others would spend time doing. Navid also makes sure his content is current by updating, so his course is top notch. As with any course you invest in, you get out of it what you put into it. VSM will pay dividends in MANY ways other than just making some money. Money wasn't a motivating factor for me, it was connections/relationships with those you interview with and growing an engaged tribe/audience. If you have any questions, there are many people here who would be happy to answer any of your questions.

VSM graduate & host of the Insurance Agent Summit
I’m just blown away by what this summit has created for me, what it has created for my future and for my family. My summit got 3,500 sign ups, 465 sales, $70k in revenue, $20k in sponsorship and I have a $2k a month recurring revenue product.

Imran Esmail
VSM graduate & host of the Virtual SlideShare Summit
VSM is the best at virtual summits… I’ve seen first hand the power of Virtual Summits as I recently ran the Virtual SlideShare Summit. We grew our email list from 200 people to 1,600 within a matter of weeks and did $15,375 in revenue even though it was my first summit and it was a very narrow niche. Navid is the master at this game and gave me some really pointed advice as I went through my launch! Thanks again man for all your help.

We are now seen as experts on the topic of pre-marriage preparation and have received invitations to speak about this in churches around the US.

Marie Grace Berg
VSM graduate & host of the JV Success Summit
Someone mentioned to me that my summit pages look like a $50,000 design team created them. I just laughed and told them I used Navid’s VSM Website Template, which made everything so much easier.

Mehrban Iranshad
VSM graduate & host of the Tennis Files Summit
Always keep in mind your audience that you want to serve. Every year before the summit, doubts creep in my mind. But remembering that my goal is to help people improve their tennis game and enjoy the sport always pushes me through these obstacles to take action.
