A Live Event for Entrepreneurs Who Are Ready to Turn Ideas Into Action

3 Days | 10 Sessions | 20+ Speakers | 1 Purpose

Inspiring You to Action

Connecting You to Community

Equipping You to Scale

The Thing isn’t just another conference

It’s a movement to help you get YOUR THING out into the world.

This unique 3-day conference is designed for high-level entrepreneurs, leaders, and creatives.

You’ll get a chance to connect with industry leaders, learn from the minds behind top brands, and be inspired to dream and take action.

Don’t miss out – reserve your spot at The Thing Orlando today!

It’s for Entrepreneurs. Leaders. Creatives. Dreamers.

If you’re an entrepreneur or leader with more ideas than results and you’re ready to stop making excuses, you’re in the right place.

We understand the high price of doing YOUR THING can be loneliness. And that isolation can make you doubt your abilities, expertise, and the viability of your ideas.

Imagine an event where you:

  • Get crystal clear on your MISSION, who you serve, and how you serve them.
  • Nurture your MINDSET with like-minded people and successful leaders who get you and what you’re trying to do in the world
  • Gain valuable INSIGHTS from industry experts and come away with renewed inspiration and strategies for success
  • Learn how to start leveraging your AUTHORITY to get your voice heard
  • Explore what’s POSSIBLE for you, your ideas, and the life you’re dreaming of

This is why The Thing exists. Because everyone has some wish, some dream, some “thing,” that they are working to bring to life. There has never been a better time than NOW.

Unlike your typical lecture style conference, at The Thing, you get to learn together and play together with the speakers, blurring the lines so that we’re all peers working on our thing and sharing our expertise and wisdom with each other.

Meet Our Host

Terry Weaver is a business coach and idea strategist.

He specializes in helping remarkable leaders navigate the galaxy of entrepreneurship. His biggest goal is to help YOU discover what you really want and help discover the map to head in the direction and arrive at the destination.

The Thing is a response to that goal.

It brings the best leaders, speakers, and change-makers together in one room. Creating a curated environment that allows attendees unprecedented access to speakers and sponsors. While inspiring them to grab hold of their dreams and chase after them.

None of our dreams will survive alone. Let’s build them together.

Our Hope for You: Stop Dreaming and Start Achieving

The vision from the beginning was clear, blur the lines between speakers and attendees. Many of our current speakers started as attendees and are now leading us. We have saved a seat for you at the table.

Past attendees and speakers have worked with brands like Disney, NBA, Amazon, USPS, TED, Nickelodeon, NASA, Farmers Insurance, Ford Motor Company, WB, Walmart, and Pepsi. From successful startups, global marketing firms, and small businesses on and offline.

Some of our past speakers have included:

  • Lee Cockerell, former Disney Vice President
  • Butch Hartman, creator of Fairly Odd Parents
  • Rachel Miller Facebook growth specialist
  • Jeff Goins, celebrated author, and speaker
  • Leigh Holt Artist and Brand Manager
  • Ken Davis, renown speaker trainer
  • Jonathan Lee Iverson, The Last Ringmaster for Ringling Brothers Circus
  • and more

You don’t have to do YOUR THING alone.

But The Thing is more than just a conference. It’s a movement, a community, and a launchpad for YOUR thing. You will leave inspired, equipped, and connected with other creatives who are changing the world. This is NOT an event for spectators.

Now, you have a choice to make: will you step into the community and authentic connection you need to stop dreaming and start achieving? Or, will you stay on the long, lonely path to eventually (…hopefully…maybe…) doing YOUR THING for real?

Your dreams are calling, there is a room in Orlando with leaders on and off the stage ready to help you do your THING and we’ve been waiting for you.

The choice is yours, but you have to act if you’re ready to transform your life.
