A week-long experience where you meet new people, make introductions, practice using your voice, create content, interview and get interviewed, and learn by actually doing.

October 5–10 · Virtual · Join from anywhere

Why this, why now

The world needs more visible leaders.

We are living in a world with more noise, more technology, more AI, more content, and more ways to communicate than ever before.

And people are still looking for something very human:

Real voices. Real relationships. Real conversations. People they can trust.

Your ideas matter.Your experiences matter.Your perspective matters.The work you are doing matters.

But people have to be able to find you, hear you, meet you, and experience what you bring.

The Billion Dollar Impact Partners Event is a week-long experience designed to help you do exactly that.

  • You’ll meet new people.
  • Make introductions.
  • Ask for introductions.
  • Practice using your voice.
  • Create content.
  • Learn how to use LinkedIn more effectively.
  • Interview people.
  • Be interviewed.
  • Meet causes, entrepreneurs, community leaders, experts, connectors, and people outside your normal circle.

And most importantly:

You will learn by actually doing.

This is experiential

This is not another week of trainings.

We are not going to spend the week talking about what you should do someday. We are going to do it together.

Instead of talking about visibility:

You get visible.

Instead of talking about LinkedIn:

You use LinkedIn.

Instead of talking about video:

You create video.

Instead of talking about interviews:

You interview someone and get interviewed.

Instead of talking about networking:

You meet people.

Instead of talking about introductions:

You make them.

Instead of talking about collaboration:

You find people to collaborate with.

The community becomes the opportunity

Instead of staying inside our normal circles, we create a bigger circle.

  • Someone participating may know exactly the person you need to meet.
  • Someone may have a podcast you should be on.
  • Someone may lead a community you should know.
  • Someone may have an idea that helps you solve a problem.
  • Someone may be looking for exactly what you do.
  • Someone may know a cause you care about.
  • Someone may be able to make an introduction that changes the direction of something you are working on.

And you may be that person for someone else.

Throughout the week, we’ll create spaces where people can ask

  • What are you working on?
  • What do you need?
  • Who would you love to meet?
  • What are you trying to create?
  • Who do I know that you should know?
The model

What is a Billion Dollar Impact Party?

A Billion Dollar Impact Party is a live experience that brings together:

  • Causes
  • Communities
  • Entrepreneurs
  • Experts
  • Offers
  • Supporters
  • Connectors

And people who simply want to be part of something meaningful.

The goal is to create a space where

Business growth.Relationships.Opportunity.Commerce.Meaningful impact.

can happen in the same room.

People come to meet new people, discover causes, explore curated offers, make introductions, build relationships, find opportunities, and experience a different way for business and impact to work together.

Partner Week

The Billion Dollar Impact Parties become our live lab.

During Partner Week, we all have a shared focus. Not because everyone has to participate in the same way. But because it gives us something real to learn around together.

Instead of practicing visibility, marketing, relationship-building, introductions, and collaboration around hypothetical exercises, we get to use something that is actually happening.

We can explore

  • How causes and businesses can work together.
  • How entrepreneurs can use their visibility for something meaningful.
  • How communities can connect with other communities.
  • How introductions can create new opportunities.
  • How people can use their voices to amplify causes and ideas they care about.
  • How business growth and impact can happen at the same time.
  • How different people can participate in completely different ways while still contributing to something bigger.

We have a shared focus, but everyone can participate differently.

There is a place for you

There are so many ways to be part of this.

Authors. Speakers. CEOs. Business owners. Entrepreneurs. Nonprofit leaders. Volunteers. Donors. Supporters. Sponsors. Community leaders. Experts. Connectors. And the people and families these causes are here to support.

If You’re Connected to a Cause

Whether you run a nonprofit, support one, volunteer, donate, sponsor, advocate, or simply care deeply about a cause, there is a place for you here.

  • Share the cause you care about.
  • Create more awareness around the mission.
  • Meet entrepreneurs, community leaders, connectors, and potential supporters.
  • Meet other causes and nonprofit organizations.
  • Make introductions.
  • Build new collaborations and partnerships.
  • Discover businesses, offers, and communities that could help support the work.
  • Learn how Billion Dollar Impact Parties can help generate funding through purpose-driven commerce.
  • Explore ways to bring your own community, supporters, donors, volunteers, or sponsors into the experience.
  • Help amplify meaningful work with your voice, relationships, platform, business, or community.

If You Have a Business, Service, Experience, or Offer

Curious about becoming one of the featured offers inside a Billion Dollar Impact Party?

  • See the model in action.
  • Learn how featured offers work.
  • Discover what types of offers are a fit.
  • Meet causes and communities you could support.
  • Explore ways your business can create both revenue and impact.
  • Get more visible through podcasts, Lives, interviews, content, and collaborations.
  • Build relationships with new communities and potential partners.
  • Learn how your offer can help generate funding for causes.

You don’t have to figure it all out before you come. Come experience the model first.

If You’re Simply Attending

You don’t need a cause. You don’t need a business. You don’t need an offer. You don’t need your own community.

  • Just come be part of it.
  • Meet people. Join conversations. Ask questions. Make introductions. Be introduced. Discover causes. Discover businesses. Learn how the model works.

And see where the relationships take you.

The thinking behind the experience

From Stacey Lauren

This idea of intentionally bringing people together is also at the heart of my book:

Do The Thing: Have a People Party

A People Party is about creating the conditions for people to get outside their normal circles, meet one another, have real conversations, make introductions, and move toward something together.

That philosophy runs through this entire week.

Because sometimes the person, idea, resource, introduction, or opportunity you need already exists inside someone else’s circle.

You just haven’t met them yet.

Two ways to participate

Bring your community, or come as yourself.

Join as a Community Partner

Bring your community into the experience.

Give your community something meaningful to be part of together. Bring your people into new conversations, new relationships, new opportunities, and a shared purpose.

Your community can participate together while also creating more visibility for the people inside it.

Want to:

  • Get featured on podcasts?
  • Join LinkedIn Lives and interviews?
  • Create content with other leaders?
  • Meet new communities and collaborators?
  • Give your members more visibility?
  • Connect your community to a meaningful cause?
  • Give your people a shared purpose to rally around?

This is a place to do it together.

Your community could be a:

  • Business community
  • Entrepreneur network
  • Nonprofit
  • Mastermind
  • Membership organization
  • Company
  • Professional association
  • Networking group
  • Podcast community
  • Donor, volunteer, sponsor, or supporter network

You don’t have to personally manage every part of the experience. You can designate someone from your community to help activate your members.

Open the door. Bring your people in. Help them get seen, meet new people, create collaborations, discover opportunities, support causes, and become part of something bigger than their own individual goals.

Join as an Individual Partner

You don’t need to lead a community. Come as yourself and jump in.

  • Meet people.
  • Share what you’re working on.
  • Get visible.
  • Join podcasts, Lives, interviews, and conversations.
  • Create content.
  • Ask for introductions.
  • Make introductions.
  • Discover causes.
  • Discover communities.
  • Use your voice for something that matters.
  • Participate in Billion Dollar Impact Parties.
  • Use your Megaphone Bucks.
  • Help someone.
  • Let someone help you.

Come to one thing, several things, or everything.

Grow your visibility. Grow your relationships. Be part of a shared purpose.

The bigger idea

Every community has something another community does not have yet.

  • People
  • Ideas
  • Relationships
  • Expertise
  • Resources
  • Opportunities
  • Introductions
  • Audiences

Every person has something they can contribute. Every cause has something worth amplifying. Every entrepreneur has gifts, expertise, relationships, or resources that can help.

And when we create the space for all of those people to actually meet, learn, create, and participate together:

New possibilities appear.

Different causes.Different communities.Different entrepreneurs.Different people.Different Billion Dollar Impact Parties.One shared live lab.More visible leaders.New connections.New introductions.More opportunities.More meaningful work moving forward.
Your move

Come in. Meet people. Learn how it works. Find where you fit.
