The Gladiator Summit was launched in 2024 by our founder, Dariush Soudi. It has established itself as a premier, game-changing platform for entrepreneurs, business leaders, and visionaries striving to unlock their true potential and redefine success.
The inaugural event last April 27, 2024, at the stunning Bluewaters Forum by Banyan Tree in Dubai, has received an impressive response. Participants were inspired to embrace the gladiator mindset to create an extraordinary life and achieve breakthrough growth.
Following the overwhelming success of its debut, the second Gladiator Summit was held on November 16-17, 2024, at the Dubai World Trade Centre, offering attendees an even more immersive and dynamic experience.
What is The Gladiator Summit?
The Gladiator Summit is a transformative seminar providing exclusive access to learn from 27 world-renowned personalities and entrepreneurs. They share the stage to teach valuable lessons in all areas of life, business, and mindset, helping you avoid the struggles, mistakes, and setbacks they faced on their journey to success.
It is an intimate and immersive conference designed to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience–no two events are the same.
"I loved being at the event today; it completely matched my energy. It was fabulous, and it had a great mix of speakers. It will touch so many lives in the future.” - Sylvia Fernandes, a past attendee of the Gladiator Summit.
The event is enriched with speakers and business leaders who are not just experts in their fields but masters of transformations. Gladiator Summit empowers participants with actionable insights and first-hand knowledge they can apply in their own path to self-development, abundance, and prosperity.
About The Founder
Dariush Soudi, the visionary behind the Gladiator Summit, is no stranger to the business world. With plenty of experience establishing his fair share of ventures from the ground up to navigating many setbacks, he has become one of the most sought-after global speakers. He shares valuable insights on the art of mental resilience, emotional strength, and adaptability in building a powerful empire with a lasting legacy.
The Gladiator Summit reflects his journey and serves as an avenue to give back to the entrepreneurial community. Soudi believes education is most impactful when it's entertaining.
This is why the Gladiator Summit is designed not just as another business event but as an edutainment experience that empowers entrepreneurs with real-world strategies. Soudi’s primary goal is to address the often-overlooked emotional and mental aspects of business success. He strongly believes entrepreneurship is not solely about mastering skills or securing capital; it is about having the persistence to keep pushing forward regardless of the setbacks.
Soudi relates this belief system to that of a gladiator who enters an arena. Gladiators know the battles that await them will be tough, but they continue to fight with resilience and determination, no matter how many challenges they face.
His guiding philosophy attributes success to 85% motivation, mindset, 10% habits, and 5% skills. This mantra forms the foundation of the summit, encouraging participants to adopt the gladiator mindset to conquer personal and professional battles and unlock their full potential.
“I have made it my life’s mission to educate those who, like me, did not receive an education on how to be truly rich—in life, love, and health. Through my Gladiator Mastery program, I'm sharing everything I've learned, often at great personal cost, so that you don’t have to pay the price I have, especially in terms of time.” Dariush Soudi, the founder of Gladiator Summit.
