What RebelCon is
Not a Trading Boot Camp. Not Another Motivation Conference.
RebelCon is an immersive two-day experience revealing how accomplished investors, founders and operators recognize major market shifts before they become obvious.
You will hear the decisions behind the wins, the lessons behind the losses, and practical ways to apply those principles to your own investing. Across public markets, private companies, emerging technology and the judgment that separates a considered risk from a reckless one.
Discover how exceptional people see an opportunity, decide the risk is worth taking, and act before consensus arrives.
What You’ll Leave With
The Knowledge To Invest Like a Pro
01
Recognize emerging themes
How experienced investors evaluate artificial intelligence, quantum computing, digital assets and other major shifts without chasing every headline. What separates a durable trend from a story with good graphics.
02
Understand how private-market access works
The differences between pre-IPO shares, private funds, secondary markets, crowdfunding and public stocks. What each route requires, who is eligible, how illiquid they are, and the risks and limitations of each.
03
Make better risk decisions
How traders, founders, athletes and entrepreneurs decide when conviction is warranted, how much to put at risk, when to change course, and how they recover after a decision goes against them.
04
Build your own opportunity framework
A practical checklist for evaluating something new: the questions to ask, the evidence to demand, and the difference between a real edge and an enthusiastic pitch. Written in the closing session.
The program
Conversations Shaping the Room
Every session is a working block built for decisive action—not passive listening.
Protect & Grow Your Personal Wealth
Master proven strategies refined by practitioners who have compounded capital through every market regime. Decode the trends that actually move portfolios, construct resilient structures, and convert volatility into durable, multi-generational advantage.
Smart Money Positioning: Emerging Tech & More
See exactly where institutional capital is concentrating—and how sophisticated investors and traders are positioning in real time. AI infrastructure, quantum tech, digital assets, and the asymmetric opportunities that separate the informed from the reactive.
Real Private-Market Access
Unlock genuine entry to exclusive opportunities across pre-IPO placements, specialized funds, secondary markets, and selective crowdfunding. Understand the precise routes, qualification thresholds, liquidity realities, and diligence standards that separate exceptional deals from expensive lessons.
Conviction Under Pressure
Adopt the high-stakes decision frameworks used by world-class investors, founders, and operators when outcomes are uncertain and time is compressed. Learn to act with clarity when others see only complexity—and to recover with discipline when the thesis is tested.
Family Office Structures Simplified
Stay ahead of a rapidly transforming financial landscape with elegant, effective systems. Streamline wealth preservation, multi-generational legacy planning, household governance, and business structuring into architectures that scale with your capital and your life.
Health & Wellness Life Hacks
Adopt the mental and physical operating systems practiced by the ultra-successful. Build the focus, resilience, and longevity required to sustain peak decision-making and performance across decades of high-stakes opportunities.

General Anthony Tata
Brigadier General, U.S. Army, retiredWhy Timing Matters
By the time everyone is talking about it, the advantage is gone.
SpaceX, Anthropic and Anduril did not become interesting only when they became household names. They were being evaluated, funded and argued about for years first.
RebelCon explores how informed investors find emerging opportunities, what access routes exist and who is eligible for them, and how to weigh the risks before committing capital. These are high-impact educational discussions and case studies. No investment access is offered or guaranteed at this event.
Who's in the Room
You Do Not Need To Be a Professional Trader To Belong Here
Some attendees have traded for twenty years. Plenty are managing a retirement account and want a more disciplined way to evaluate what they are being offered. The sessions are built for both.
Self-directed investors
Managing your own capital and wanting a clearer framework for what to do next.
Business owners and founders
Deploying proceeds, evaluating private opportunities, or thinking about your own raise.
People managing retirement or family wealth
Responsible for money that matters and looking for judgment rather than tips.
Active traders
Already in the market and wanting depth on flow, macro and portfolio risk.
Technology-curious investors
Following AI, quantum and digital assets and wanting to separate substance from noise.
Anyone starting out
Curious, willing to learn, and tired of being talked past. Sessions start from first principles.

Both days of programming on October 20 and 21, the welcome reception on the evening of the 19th, the closing send-off, all four tracks, every session digital workbook, the Najarian digital book and official Rebel swag. Travel and hotel are separate, and Circa holds a discounted attendee room block for you.
RebelCon 2026 runs October 19–21, 2026 at Circa Resort & Casino in downtown Las Vegas. Sessions take place in the theater, and the after-hours events happen at Stadium Swim.
No, and a good share of the room will be in the same position. The sessions start from what these markets are and how they work before going anywhere near a specific opportunity.
Not to attend, and not for everything covered. Some private offerings are limited to accredited investors and some are open to anyone. Knowing which is which, and what your own options actually are, is one of the things the first track exists to explain.
No. RebelCon is educational. Sessions cover how these markets work, how to evaluate an opportunity and how to size a position. Nothing at the event is a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and past results of any deal discussed do not indicate what a future one will do.
Possibly. We announce names as they lock and notify ticket holders first when anything changes. The program is built around four tracks rather than a single name, so it holds either way.
A laptop or tablet if you want to work along in the sessions, and something to write with. Dress is casual. Vegas in October is warm.
Yes. Tickets are transferable up to 14 days before the event — email support and we’ll move the name on the badge.
Yes — every attendee needs their own ticket, and each one comes with its own badge, digital book and swag. Bringing a group? Contact the Rebel team and we’ll handle multi-seat orders together in a single invoice.
