The world tends to focus on activities that can be measured. Measured by a number, an increment, a point on a graph.
Maybe it's time to focus on growing people in a way that can't be calculated by a percentage or a simple score.
Maybe it's time to focus on the skills that matter.
You’re invited to an online video conference about developing real skills. A conference in the truest sense--you’re here to meet other people, to forge connections, to find the others.
We’re creating circles of people who care—a tribe of leaders who see that it’s possible to create more value, generate more change and do work that we’re proud of.
We do things differently here at Akimbo. This isn't your typical conference. This is about learning together and choosing to make a change. Inside, you'll engage in real-time conversations with other attendees from around the world in small groups of 4-5 people, in addition to bigger group discussions. You can expect the conference to be 80% participation and 20% speakers.

Join us for the first-ever worldwide live conference for developing real skills. It all happens from your computer, in a video conference format, face to face.
You’ll hear from Seth Godin and the coaches from Akimbo. But far more important, you’ll be able to engage face to face (digitally!) with people like you. Because not feeling alone makes this worthy journey a lot easier.
The conference runs LIVE for two hours on April 24th, 2020. It’s a powerful way to grow—surrounded by people who want to make things better by making better things.
You may have heard about the altMBA, The Marketing Seminar and the other powerful workshops we run. After engaging with more than 20,000 students around the world, we have seen that people are hungry for this sort of change. Eager for a chance to make a difference, to see and to be seen.
Bring your boss, your colleagues, and your direct reports as well. Great teams know how to talk to one another about real skills. Check out our FAQ page for more on groups.

This conference is about you, your work and your actions. It happens live, just like an in-person conference, and will not be widely available as a recording.
The magic will come from the virtual face-to-face connections between you and the other participants. Please plan to arrive online 15 minutes before the conference to take your “virtual seat” in the video conference Zoom room, so that you can get in before the doors automatically close at start time. Learn more about how a virtual conference works. The cost to attend is $78 per person. Space is limited, and waiting probably isn't a good idea.
