L3 Retreat
Vail, Colorado
Thursday, Oct. 1 to Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026
A private retreat for CEOs, senior executives, and investors raising children with autism or other serious neurodevelopmental differences.
What This Is.
Most leaders have almost no room in professional life to speak honestly about what this journey has done to their marriage, their values, their decisions, and the long arc of their child’s life — including what it looks like after they are no longer here. This weekend is built for that conversation, and for the steps that follow it.
The Two Questions
Over the weekend, the work centers on two questions — and on what each leader is ready to do about them:
How has parenting your child reshaped how you lead, decide, and live?
What kind of life do you want for your child when you are no longer here, and what should you begin putting in place now?
Why This Room
This is not a room of observers. It is a room of people who run companies, carry unusual responsibility, and go home each night to something most colleagues do not fully understand. The group is intentionally cross-generational: some parents are decades into this journey, while others are earlier in it. That mix creates both perspective and urgency.
The Work
Leadership
How parenting your child has changed what you value, how you recruit, how you make hard decisions, and the kind of culture you are willing to build.
Marriage
A frank conversation about what this journey asks of a couple, what it strains, and what helps it endure.
After Us
Practical work on the life your child will need around them: relationships, advocates, mentors, family, caregivers, and the conversations to begin now.
Laughter
An evening built around shared humor, honesty, and the relief that comes when people let go of natural defenses.
The Levers We Control
A working session, hosted by a parent who has been on this road longer, on the practical decisions that move the needle: therapies, schools, providers, financial structure, where to spend energy and where to stop.
Inclusions
Three nights of accommodations, all retreat programming, meals, wine, local transportation, and a small set of optional activities are handled for you. The intent is simple: the work is serious, and the weekend should feel beautifully taken care of.
PrivacyA rare room for people carrying an uncommon set of responsibilities.
This gathering is intentionally small, discreet, and off the record. The point is not visibility. The point is candor, trust, and the kind of conversation that becomes possible only in the right room.
