Tired of Having Excuses Instead of Results?
During Our Days Together We Are...
Define
Begin by identifying your thing in the Define phase. This will be the place where we ask “Why not” rather than question if it’s impossible. Every speaker will be inspiring, not just a cheerleader to get you excited, but a coach that will inspire you to take action.
Dream
Next, develop YOUR blueprint in the Dream phase. You will walk away with the tools to clarify your messaging, utilize social media for telling your brand’s story, sales and how to actually close the deal, collaboration to get even better ideas. Informed Dreams are really powerful.
Do
Every speaker will be sharing actionable tactics that not only are they actually practicing but ones that you can implement in the work you do. No “theories” here…Come to The Thing with just an idea and leave with results! Already "mid flight?" Discover how to go further faster.
Everyone Has a Thing. What Is Yours?
Everyone has some wish, some dream, some “thing,” that they are working to bring to life. This is the place.The Thing puts you in the room, sitting side-by-side with over twenty speakers and fellow attendees who are up to something.
Are you ready to dive into intimate interactions about the things that matters to you most? Whether it’s inspiration, support, strategy, or tactics, The Thing is all about making your thing become real.
Is The Thing Really for me?
Creatives & Makers
You are the kind of person that brings things to life. Whether it’s something you see, hear, smell, taste, or feel, you create for art, for function, for passion, for all of us.
Entrepreneurs & Leaders
You disrupt and do not accept the status quo. You make change in wants, desires, and behavior. You build and sell because you can’t imagine doing anything else.
Mavericks & Innovators
You fulfill on visions and dreams. You bring the out the best in others to build things, structures, and organizations that last. You live with one foot in the future.
The Thing Might Not Be for You
What do you mean? Why wouldn’t it be for me? Let’s be honest: Not everyone is ready to move on their dreams right now. Maybe you’re more comfortable just daydreaming about what might be, rather than take tangible action. Maybe you like the fantasy of it more than getting to work. If that’s the case, The Thing isn’t for you.
If you are The Thing, you’ve got to be ready to get to work and get out of your comfort zone. Are you?

THE MAIN THING
At its core, The Main Thing (11/5-7) is three days packed with premier speakers who will infuse you with inspiration, strategy, and tactics. You’ll get to meet them and your fellow attendees at a welcome reception and enjoy complimentary lunches (Sat & Sun) and Starbucks coffee and snacks throughout the conference. For a little added oomph, you can schedule coaching appointments with our speakers. Not that you even need an appointment because The Thing is Green Room free, our speakers are in the room with you not hiding backstage!
THE VIP THING
The day before the main event is The VIP Thing (11/4), a very special day at a Walt Disney Theme Park with a Disney Imagineer as our own private tour guide. Experience the magic of the Happiest Place on Earth with those who helped make it and learn how creating Disney magic can impact your thing. The morning of the first day of The Main Thing, you’ll get a special bonus session, as well as the opportunity to connect with many of our speakers and guests at a private dinner for VIPs on Saturday evening.
THE VVIP THING
Already have a good idea of your thing and want to light a fire under it? Or maybe you’re not even sure where to start. Join The VVIP Thing (11/3) a couple of days before the main event and spend it in a luxury vacation home with a small handful of like-minded people to dig into your ideas, projects, and brands. We’ll take you through the same process that Disney Imagineering does. How do we know? The intensive whiteboard session will be led by a Disney Imagineer. You’ll also enjoy a private lunch, as well as a special dinner and evening of fun and relaxation in Disney Springs on 11/2. PLUS you get another day and half of bonus content included with The VIP Thing.
it's time to take action for your thing
