Minneapolis UnConference Mastermind: 17 Seats Left for August’s Elite Gathering | Ep. 89

This episode promotes the August 5-8 Minneapolis land investing unconference, a 70-person hard-capped event featuring hot seat coaching sessions, VIP days, and structured networking from 6 AM to 10 PM, with only 17 seats remaining and a unique mini-unconference preview scheduled for April 17th.

Key Takeaways:

  • Hot Seat Format Delivers Targeted Results Every attendee receives 20-30 minutes of focused peer coaching on their specific business challenges from experienced operators generating high six-figures to seven-figures annually, replacing generic conference content with personalized strategic guidance.
  • Application Screening Creates Safe Environment The unconference vetting process ensures participants are serious operators (minimum low six-figure revenue) who contribute transparently without judgment, unlike open-attendance events that mix experience levels.

Hi, Chris Duff over at Serious Land Capital, vacant land funding partner. Today wanted to go over a couple land on conference updates. Actually, I have several massive updates related to land price are in the progress there. Huge, huge key updates as we work to

Make that product a lot more speedy and efficient. I’ll probably talk about that over this weekend But I was just going back and forth with Dave Denniston on conference. I know I remarked on this a couple of months ago Where that is the You know if I could choose to go to any land conference that would be the one Already been to four events in the past

The current one for this year is set up for Minneapolis on August 5th through 8th. I really hope I have those dates right. Well, you can always check it on the on conference website. But yeah, there’s a VIP day on the Thursday and that goes through Saturday. And just to kind of reiterate for

you maybe repeat listeners or some folks who haven’t heard before. you know, to me, I, I, I recommend this conference most just because it’s so targeted on your precise business needs and current issues. yeah, every business has issues, right? Regardless of your size. and everybody who goes done conference typically has at least a low six figure revenue. So

You get You know at least a bit higher experience within the room there and then I’d say most Investors who actually show up the average is closer to like high six figures of revenue rate Or you know total annual total annual revenue And the great thing about this is that we’re all able to split up into different small groups and have hot seat sessions so that you get

you know, 20, 30 minutes of direct focus on whatever key business issue or issues that you have can all be relayed over to your peers for direct and targeted assistance, where it’s a very, very supportive environment to like all these unconference events, they’re…

kind of screened, there’s an application process to show up. So, you you can rest assured that you’re not entering into like a judgmental atmosphere or anything like that. It truly, you know, everybody is just transparent and open about trying to help you and whoever else is in the hot seat as much as possible. So that’s kind of the main gist. And then there’s just

general networking and kind of.

events to participate within, really, again, I’ve been to a number of live events and conferences within the past and nothing is as planned, to a T logistically as unconference, like from 6 AM to 10 PM, there is, something to be doing and somewhere to be. So, you can rest assured that you’re not going to be wandering around or wondering what you’re there for. Like it is really, really well thought through.

And every single time I’ve gone have come away with incredibly strategic insights for, my own business there. And so I’m just mentioning this again, too, because I was going back and forth to Dave. was solidifying the moderators. I’m honored to be participating as moderator at, at, at on conference. You know, meaning would kind of help, you know, moderate the discussion. No, no surprise there.

I ensure people are kind of, you know, participating and, know, within the hot seat and, you know, it’s encouraging folks to speak up. Like it’s really not, a huge deal there. It’s just, you know, since I had some, some experience both within the business side and been to unconference so many times, you know, Dave, trust me to, help facilitate and ensure that everybody and whatever.

room that’ll be moderating that folks will be getting the most out of it. So just wanted to mention that there as an update. Again, couldn’t be more honored for the opportunity and looking forward to helping as many of you as possible in that capacity. And as we kind of ramp this up.

We’re going to try to do some lead up events to on conference. So then I’m not land daily diligence channel. I’m to announce this coming Monday that we’re going to be looking for hot seat participants. So we’ll just have a virtual mini on conference tentatively planning from April 17th here Thursday afternoon. So if you are looking for you know, just

in-depth coaching, to be on a hot seat on my live session here, you’ll have me and the other highly qualified moderators within the land space to assist you specifically on whatever your business goals are. So if you’re listening to this, feel free to DM me and mention, hey, I’m interested in being a hot seat participant. We’ll probably only have room for three or four slots within that time period. So, you

early bird gets the worm, right? So just wanted to mention that there so we can continue to serve the industry and community as a whole. And maybe if you were on kind of the fence of considering on conference or not, feel free to participate and see if a format like that would be helpful and considering joining us live in August. FYI,

it’s a hard cap of 70 participants. Like, we don’t like getting this too large because then it just becomes even more transactional. It’s hard to manage everybody and make sure everybody has enough time to get a hot seat and the right attention served to each business owner. So, and there’s currently 53 slots already filled, so only 17 to go. I’m sure that will go quickly the closer we get to Unconference. So if you’re kind of on the fence, might be worth considering.

So just wanted to do a, you know, updated plug there. Again, I consider Dave to be a close personal friend of mine, as well as an excellent business owner and one of the best live event operators that I’ve ever had. Again, the honor to join. however, I can help build out.

what I think is such an advantageous live event and something that I’ve gotten tremendous help, like I wouldn’t be a multi-million dollar operator without going on conference and making some of the connections that I’ve made there. So, you know, just FYI, if that’s an incentive, if you like winning at business and like making money, you know, it’s probably gonna serve you. So.

That’s probably the most helpful plug out of any of this So let me know if you want to be part of that hot seat session on my live In less than a couple weeks here would love to have you And of course too if you want to sign up for on conference to search for it. I think it’s landonconference.com I want to say you can just google at Dave Denniston on conference. It’ll be there
