Copy Chief Presents
The Copywriting Event of 2023:
Copy Chief Live – Nashville
Your invitation to get “up close and personal” with the industry’s most successful and forward-thinking marketers and copywriters for three days at an exclusive live event Oct 4th – 6th in Nashville, Tennessee.
INCLUDING:
Parris Lampropoulos
One of the undisputed greats of direct response, Parris continues to lead the industry with innovative copy and campaigns in the alternative health market.
He’s also one of the most coveted (and secretive) teachers of the craft, whose infamous copy cubs have become the new generation of copy leaders.
Daniel Throssell
A true disruptor, Daniel has become the most feared and revered email copywriter in our industry. His wildly entertaining (and controversial) daily emails are quoted, criticized, and deconstructed by copywriters the world over.
Love him or hate him, you’re crazy if you don’t read him. Daniel reshaped the concept of email marketing through his ingenious and often pilfered, “Parallel Welcome Sequence.” Daniel is making his live event debut in Nashville, all the way from Australia.
Laura Belgray
Laura has long been one of the most faithfully read and respected email copywriters, earning millions with her products and promotions.
Her readers (shrimpers) are true fans and she’s parlayed their support into features in Business Insider, Money, Elle, and Fast Company. In 2023, she took the national stage by storm with the release of her universally praised memoir, Tough Titties.
Kelly Brown
Kelly Brown is the Copy Chief at Stansberry Research, one of the most respected and successful publishers in the financial market, where she oversees writing and production on campaigns that lead trends and dominate the field.
Kelly blazed a trail for women in copywriting by working her way from copywriter to Chief at Stansberry in just six years of mentorship with legendary copywriter Mike Palmer.
Michael Ford
As a chart-topping senior copywriter at Stansberry Research, Michael Ford knows what it takes to stay ahead-of-the-curve in the highly-competitive world of financial copywriting.
Learning from the best-of-the-best by studying under the legendary copywriters like Mike Palmer, Michael consistently writes copy that brings in tens of thousands of new leads, and is directly responsible for generating over $100 Million sales.
Ryan Lee
Ever since creating the world’s first sports training membership site in the late 90s, Ryan Lee has personally built five 7-figure and two 8-figures businesses (and coached over 100,000 successful students).. all while working from home and never missing a single one of his four kids activities.
No wonder Ryan has been called the world’s leading “lifestyle business entrepreneur” by Entrepreneur magazine and has been featured in dozens of books, magazines and on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. If you want to learn how to turn your ideas, hobbies, passions and your personality into a rockin’ business – then listen to Ryan!
Lukas Resheske
Lukas is someone I’ve admired “from afar” for years. His posts are always smart, introspective, and future-looking.
It’s no surprise that he has generated more than $200M for clients and students, and trained more than 1000 professional copywriters through his coaching and training programs. He focuses on real communication that moves people forward in business and life. If there’s a genuine “rockstar” in the world of copywriting, Lukas is it.
Chris Orzechowski
The founder of Orzy Media, agency owner, and creator of Email Copy Academy, Chris’s brash and hilarious writing style has taken the industry by storm and made him one of the most coveted creative consultants in the industry, generating millions of dollars for his clients in info-publishing and E-commerce.

Limited Seats Available To The Public
This is NOT your typical copywriting event…
No ass-numbing keynotes.
No focus on “tricks,” “hacks,” or “secrets.”
Rather, it’s a celebration of the TRUE CREATIVES of our craft.
The visionaries.
The big thinkers.
The bold choice makers.
The ones willing to risk it all by putting their scariest ideas out to the world just to “see what happens.”
These are the ones we read, follow, study, and get inspired by every day.
The true WRITERS and DISRUPTORS that bring fresh, innovative concepts to our industry.
The DOERS, not the talkers.
These are the marketers and copywriters
who have NO FEAR of AI.
They may be using it as the center of their work, or ignoring it altogether.
Because, frankly, it doesn’t matter.
It is THEM.
Their MINDS.
Their PERSPECTIVES.
Their HUMAN INTELLIGENCE…
That makes them UNIGNORABLE and IRREPLACEABLE.
This is a chance to spend time getting to know the brightest creatives in our industry.
You’ll learn the most by seeing how they think, what makes them laugh, and getting a real, live, in-the-moment, look inside the minds of legit game-changing copywriters.
Yes, there will be some talks and panels.
(If you know me at all, you know how much I cherish a good live performance.)
I’m asking a select few of the amazing list of special guests to give a 20-minute TED style talk about…
The Future of Copywriting
And share something they’ve never shared before about their approach, their process, their mindset about writing, and writing to sell.

Making new ones, strengthening existing ones, and being a part of something truly special together.
Because being connected is the greatest value of attending any event.

Meanwhile, enjoy some FOMO shots from past Copy Chief Live events below:
Frequently Asked Questions:
#1 – What is the event schedule like?
The evening before the main event (Wednesday, October 4th) we’ll have a VIP Meet & Greet cocktail party
VIP PARTY SOLD OUT! You can still get tickets for the main event.
The main event is all day on Thursday, October 5th, and Friday, October 6th.
We’ll release a full itinerary to attendees as we get closer to the live event, but you can expect to kick things off at 9:30am Eastern Time.
We’ll have content sessions throughout the day until around 3:00pm or 4:00pm ET – and wrap up after that.
We’ll schedule regular breaks between talks so you can get up and stretch your legs, connect with other attendees, get lunch, and take bathroom breaks.
#2 – Will there be implementation time built into the day?
Yes! This is NOT going to be 3 days of people talking “at you.”
We’ll show you exactly what will move the needle on your business, teach you how to do it, and then you apply it to your business right away.
You’ll be building real assets for your business in real time at this event – all with the help of expert coaches to help you move past sticking points quickly.
This is big plan action AND immediate action. You’ll not only leave this event more confident on how you can completely kick ass in your business this year…
But with the right things in place to help you do it quickly and smoothly.
#3 – Can I buy a ticket to just one of the event days?
Single day tickets are not available. Plan to fly in on Wednesday, October 4th in time for the cocktail party, and fly out October 6th after we wrap up the last content session. (Or stick around for the weekend to explore Nashville! There’s almost always a crew who stays the weekend to continue the party.)
You’ll want to be here for all 3 days of the conference so you don’t miss anything.
#4 – Do you have a ticket payment plan?
Yes! You will find a flexible payment plan option on the order form when you check out.
#5 – What is the refund policy?
Since we need to book the venue and guest speaker in advance of the event, there are no refunds on ticket purchases.
#6 – Who will I meet at this event?
Copy Chief events are widely known as the best place to connect with high-level business owners, marketers, and strategic partners.
Major CMOs, CEOs, Business Owners, Publishers, Agencies, Freelancers, and independent marketing companies come to this event eager to meet, hire, and partner with high-quality creative marketers of all experience levels.
Not only will you make life-long friends (the kind that help you build empires)…

We have high-level business owners asking us every week to connect them with creative marketers and freelancers.
Joining this event puts you at the forefront of our mental rolodex.
PLUS – You’ll come out of this event with a valuable group of Accelerator “Battle Buddies” who can help you tackle any challenge that comes your way.
Our Accelerator Mastermind students are “in the trenches” every single day – testing new ideas and discovering what works best in the new marketing landscape.
They’ll share their experience and insights, help troubleshoot your biggest business challenges, and are a BLAST to talk to at our fun hang-out parties.
Normally these events are for Accelerator members only – and this is the first time we’re opening a few select seats to the public.
This is your chance to join an elite group of freelancers and get a “behind the scenes tour” of our high-level coaching mastermind.
#7 – Why are there limited tickets available?
Normally these high-level mastermind events are ONLY available for our Accelerator Mastermind members.
This is a rare time that we’re opening a few select seats to the public.
The level of coaching, training, and connections at these intimate mastermind events is unmatched anywhere else, and protecting that is important to us.
So we’re limiting the number of seats available to the public to make sure EVERYONE who attends gets as much personal attention, coaching, and implementation time that they need.
This is your chance to join an elite group of freelancers and get a “behind the scene tour” of our high-level coaching mastermind.
#8 – How do I know this event is right for me and my business?
FREELANCERS – What qualifies you is not how long you’ve been practicing your craft, but rather your passion and dedication to becoming great at what you do.
If you feel it is your calling to become a great copywriter, marketer, or business owner, then you’re qualified.
If you’ve been at this for years and are ready to take your writing and your business to the next level, this is definitely for you.
MARKETERS – You will leave this event with the most actionable tactics imaginable. We’re working with each expert trainer and coach to not only teach you what they do, but to show you how it looks when done right.
If you’re looking to work with the best marketers in the business to take these “closed door” tactics and infuse them into your current campaigns, this is the place for you.
BUSINESS OWNERS – Even if you’re not looking to hire or partner with talented creatives, the information and connections you make at this event will help you get the ultimate clarity on how to best grow and serve your audience. You’ll learn from the top marketers in the world how to grow that audience, in both size and loyalty.
