The Half Day That Starts It All

Setting the Stage

The night before Day 1, everyone joining for both Stage and Page gets together with Jon for a special evening that sets up everything that follows. It is only for people who come for the full 2.5 days. Details revealed once you're in.

The Room

Your Next Opportunity Might Be Sitting Next To You

Every seat is filled by application, so the room is full of speakers and authors who take their work seriously. Many of them will become the friends, referrals, and collaborators who help make your next book or keynote happen.

  • 20 Seats
    A Hand-Picked Room

    Each cohort is capped at 20 people. It is small enough that you will know everyone by name before the first break.

  • Before Day 1
    Meet Before You Arrive

    You will connect with Jon, Bill, and the rest of your cohort before the event, so you walk in already knowing a few faces.

  • Day 1 Evening
    Dinner Is On Us

    After the Stage day, we host a group dinner. It is the easiest place to trade stories, swap numbers, and start the friendships that last past the event.
