Business Building, Legal & Finance, and Tax Planning—designed to help you make or save serious money at every stage.
1. Who should attend Main Street 360?
−Main Street 360 is designed for small business owners, entrepreneurs, CPAs, EAs, attorneys, and advisors who want practical tax, legal, and business strategies they can actually use. Whether you’re starting, scaling, or preparing for exit, this event is built for real-world application.
2. Is this event right for business owners who aren’t tax professionals?

−Yes. CPAs, EAs, and other eligible professionals can earn up to 13 IRS-approved CE credits by attending qualifying sessions.
4. What makes Main Street 360 different from other conferences?
−This isn’t theory or sales pitches. Main Street 360 focuses on practical strategies, real case studies, and in-person connection. The value extends beyond the stage through networking, collaboration, and unplanned conversations that often lead to new opportunities.
5. Is this an in-person event or virtual?
−Main Street 360 is a live, in-person event. The learning, energy, and relationships built in the room are a core part of the experience and can’t be replicated online. We also offer Virtual Tickets with live stream of the event.
6. What topics are covered?
−The event features three learning tracks:
- Business Building
- Legal & Finance
- Tax Planning
Topics include entity structuring, tax strategy, real estate, retirement planning, AI and systems, crypto, asset protection, and exit planning.
7. Can I switch between tracks?
−Yes. Attendees are free to move between tracks and customize their experience based on their goals and stage of business.
8. Why is Main Street 360 better in person?
−Real Connections. Real Opportunity.
This isn’t virtual networking. Main Street 360 is where business owners, CPAs, EAs, and advisors build relationships that turn into referral partners, deal flow, and long-term allies—through curated networking, speaker meetups, and organic hallway conversations.
The Room Changes Everything
When you’re in the room, the learning hits differently. High-impact sessions, live strategy breakdowns, and direct access to Mark J. Kohler and expert speakers create clarity, confidence, and momentum you can’t get online.
The Best Insights Aren’t Always on the Agenda
Some of the biggest breakthroughs happen between sessions—over coffee, during lunch, or at evening events. These unplanned conversations often lead to new clients, smarter strategies, and unexpected opportunities.
Focused Learning. Zero Distractions.
No emails. No client calls. No Zoom fatigue. Just dedicated time to sharpen your tax, legal, and business strategy in a high-energy environment built for growth.
In-Person Only Perks
On-site attendees get access to exclusive experiences—VIP events, speaker Q&As, hands-on workshops, and custom swag—designed to deepen learning and strengthen community.
9. Why did Mark J. Kohler create Main Street 360?
−A Note From the Founder & Your Host Mark J. Kohler
Hi, Friends!
I’ve spent over two decades helping people make smarter decisions with their money, their businesses, and their lives. And I can tell you—strategy changes everything. But here’s the truth: it’s not just about knowing the strategy. It’s about using it the right way, in the right structure, at the right time.
That’s why I created Main Street 360—to bring all of those moving pieces together in one place. And to help you apply the strategies that actually work for your life and your goals. This is your chance to step away from the day-to-day and invest in something bigger: your long-term plan. Your legacy. Your American Dream. Over the course of three energizing days, you’ll learn strategies that can save you money, reduce your risk, and give you more control over your future. But even more than that—you’ll be part of a community that values freedom, education, and doing things the smart way.
This event is about real education, real people, and real momentum. You’ll walk away with tools you can apply immediately—and a network of people who’ll keep you moving forward. I can’t wait to meet you, learn with you, and build something amazing—together.
Your friend and fellow American Dreamer,
Mark
