This event seems more expensive than many others…why is that?

Well, the answer is two-fold it’s really expensive to create experiences like what we create at The Thing. We have good food, snacks, top-notch speakers, and some cool swag.

Secondly, we found that the event is better for everyone if everyone at the event is investing at a high level in themselves.

If you are doing VVIP it is best to arrive Thursday, June 4 so you can get settled in before our VVIP start on Friday. We’ll be dining in the Nashville area on Friday evening. Please don’t have a flight leaving BNA on Tuesday BEFORE 9pm!

If you are doing VIP it is best to arrive Friday night, so you’re ready for our VIP programming on Saturday. Please don’t have a flight leaving BNA on Tuesday BEFORE 9pm!

If you are doing The Main Thing it is best to arrive Saturday, June 6 so you have time to get checked into the hotel before our special kick-off event. Please don’t have a flight leaving BNA on Tuesday BEFORE 9pm!

Is the conference just motivational or can I expect actionable takeaways?

You are gonna leave fired up for sure! But also equipped with the tools you need to build your brand and grow your business.
