The Unconference III is all about connection and collaboration.
No speakers. No sponsors. No Fluff.
Anyone experienced with attending live events knows that the true value comes from the conversations in the hallways.
The Unconference III is an unconventional live event that is the opposite of what almost all entreprenurial conferences have become. Here we forge genuine connections with a vetted group of attendees who all have something valuable to give as well as a deep desire to continue to learn and grow.
If you love the hallways at conferences more than sessions, this event is for you.
To make sure you have the opportunity to connect with everyone in attendance, we are capping the event at 100 incredible entrepreneurs.
And to ensure the maximum value of the event for everyone in the room, we will be hand-selecting the attendees via a simple, straightforward application process.
What is The Unconference III?
-
It's A Choose Your Own Adventure Structure
The beauty of The Unconference is that you get to choose what is valuable to you. You get to decide what adventure you take. Some will choose to spend the entire time in the hallways making life-changing connections. Some will blend the ability to get 1:1 coaching, join a few mastermind sessions and balance hallway conversations. It is completely up to you in deciding what is most important to you!
-
Small, Niched Group Masterminds
Few things are more powerful for connection and growth than small-niched masterminds. The Unconference will have a place for these specific masterminds to occur, including niche experts to facilitate and lead these. The mastermind topics will be determined by the interests and needs of what we hear from the attendees during the application process to ensure the topics are on point.
-
Connecting The Unconnected
The value of doing an event with limited tickets and an application process is that we get to see what the strengths and needs are of the attendees. A main point of what we do as the organizers is the pre-event work of learning who needs to be connected, and making sure that those people meet and get to know one another at The Unconference. It's one of our favorite things to do-
to connect the unconnected!
-
Specialty Group Meetups
We've attended so many conferences where meetups need to be done before or after the event because they have so many speakers. Our idea is, let's hold these meetups inside the event! So, if you are a podcaster, writer, membership owner or more, we will have group meetups to connect during The Unconference so that you get maximum value from the event.
-
Time Freedom For Deep Conversations
Instead of being rushed from presentation to presentation like most conferences, you have the freedom to have meaningful, deep conversations with other attendees. There is no pressure to end a great conversation and there is no FOMO in feeling the pull to go see the next speaker. These are some of the most valuable things that come from these events and we want and encourage you to take full advantage of it.
-
Secret Dinners*
This is available only for Platinum and Luxury Box ticket owners. On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, after the event has finished, Platinum and Luxury Box ticket owners will have the unique adventure of participating in a Secret Dinner. We make reservations at a group of local Sarasota restaurants, and with our "Connect the Unconnected" information, will bring attendees together for a dinner where they won't know who is attending until they sit down for their meal.
What's New For The Unconference III!
After selling out The Unconference I & II, we are making a shift to how tickets are offered.
To keep The Unconference III personal, intimate and connected, we are still going to offer only 100 tickets. But we are making two changes.
1- All tickets will be Platinum tickets. Meaning, every attendee will have the same level of access and be offered everything provided within the event.
2- Of the 100 tickets, 50 tickets will be Alumni Platinum tickets. These tickets are only offered to previous attendees of The Unconference I and The Unconference II. To honor them, the Alumni get the best price available. And to ensure that we always have an influx of new talent, ideas and energy without increasing the size of the event, we are opening the other 50 tickets to New Attendees. We believe that a 50/50 mix allows us to keep the culture of this unique event strong while always allowing new people to keep raising the level of The Unconference.
Once again, we are offering early bird pricing. The first 15 tickets (in both Alumni and New Attendees) will have the lowest price, the next 15 will see an increase, and then the last 20 tickets will be at the final price.
