I don't know about you, but I'm tired of conferences where people give pretty speeches, everyone cheers, and then we all go home and nothing changes.
The practical liberty un-conference is for people who are ready to take action.
How do you thrive and flourish in a hostile world? That's our focus at this event, whose every presenter will teach you something practical that can be implemented in your life here and now. No theorizing about how Ancapistan will deal with consensual cannibalism, or applying Lockean homesteading theory to outer space.
Our previous events have been filled with energetic, action-oriented liberty lovers who came together with a shared determination to accomplish great things. This one will be no different!
Now what is an "un-conference"?
We'll have a few traditional speakers, yes.
But let's be honest with each other.
At the typical conference you sit politely through talks you're not that interested in, and you're really waiting to chat with people at the snack break.
So instead of a traditional conference, let's talk to each other!
On Saturday we'll break into separate rooms and people will lead discussions on all kinds of topics, maybe 25 minutes at a time. You can speak on whatever you want: we'll have a board outside each room with times and topics, and attendees can choose with their feet.
One room will be our business room, where you can discuss, ask questions about, or get feedback on any business topic.
Another room will be personal development, broadly conceived: how I lost 50 pounds, or the three tactics I used to overcome procrastination, or how I became 20% more productive.
Still another room will discuss parallel institutions: monetary institutions like Bitcoin, or educational institutions like homeschools, or whatever else you can think of.
If you have better ideas than these, we'll consider those, too!
Everyone will leave with exciting new ideas, and new friends and connections.
One attendee last year even said he generated $100K in revenue from his presentation. (That does not mean you should give a sales pitch. It means that if you provide good information that people value, they will seek you out if you tell them you offer services X and Y.)
The Practical Liberty Un-Conference will be unlike any event you've ever attended!
