IGNITING SOULS CONFERENCE: UNHACKABLE
OCTOBER 22-25, 2020
Igniting Souls Conference is a World Class event for World Changers.
Each year, we gather—a select group of authors, coaches, speakers, and entrepreneurs with a message to share and a tribe to serve. We view and do life differently because we know our identity, purpose, and direction—who we are, why we're here, and where we're going. The more clarity we gain, the more our influence, impact, and income grows.
ISC 2020, our 10th anniversary, is extra special. In light of COVID-19, we've decided to gather on a global stage during October (October 22-25). This year is 100% experiential and will be enjoyed from anywhere in the world. Will you join us and become Unhackable? Will you achieve your dream?
The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire.

ALL ATTENDEE EXPERIENCE
Red Carpet Sessions
Select Speakers Share Message on a Global Stage
The day will come when you have a chance to share your message on a global stage for all the world to hear. One of my favorite parts from Walk the Line, a movie about Johnny Cash, is when Sam Phillips calls out Cash for playing it safe.
If you was hit by a truck and you was lying out there in that gutter dying, and you had time to sing *one* song....would you sing somethin' different. Somethin' real. Somethin' *you* felt. Cause I'm telling you right now, that's the kind of song people want to hear. That's the kind of song that truly saves people.
At the Red Carpet Sessions you'll have the opportunity to hear authors sum up their book in 90 seconds. What they say, may just change the course of your life. We've witnessed it more than once before. Get ready. They will be.
Author Academy Awards
Literary merit and publishing excellence in the writing and publishing industry.
These distinguised awards are given annually by Author Academy Elite (AAE) and presented at the Author Academy Awards Ceremony. The various category winners are bestowed a special award, officially called the "Academy Boon of Merit." Click here for details about this prestigious award.
Authors of all kinds—indie (self-published), traditional, or collaborative published—may be considered. The top ten finalists in each category are invited to present their book synopsis at the Author Academy Awards Red Carpet Sessions.
Unhackable Global Release Party
Attend a party where you're the guest of honor.
You're invited to the world's largest book global livestream book release party. Expect 60 minutes of pure engagement. We'll mix up the components and add tons of flavor. Think film, giveaways, prizes, raffles, Q and A, interview, entertainment, mini "TED talk," and much more. Thousands will watch. We'll even give away a publishing contract to one winner (a $5,000 value). It could be you!
Kary Oberbrunner's new non-fiction book is already being heralded as his best book yet. Here's a sneak peek:
Welcome to the Attention Economy—where you are the product. In this digital landscape, the masses keep score with eyeballs and eardrums. Focus is everything, and they’re willing to fight for yours.
Yet not everyone is paying attention—a few are protecting theirs. These consumers-turned-creators have discovered the Elixir by leveraging their ideas, focus, and flow. Will you join them and close the gap between dreaming and doing? Will you become Unhackable?
ISC Bookstore Bonus
We love our authors AND our conference attendees.
We're giving ISC attendees up to $30,000 back to help them grow personally and professionally. For years we've said BOOKS CHANGE LIVES. This year we're demonstrating that belief even more. We're giving every General Ticket attendee a $15 rebate for books they purchase written by Author Academy Elite authors. VIP Ticket attendees will receive a $30 rebate. Leaders are readers and we believe your worth investing in. Now go change your world.
Engagement and Influence
30 Days to FastTrack Your Online Communication & Connection
The Coronavirus pandemic revealed an overwhelming gap for many leaders in all sectors to bridge the gap between in-person and online engagement. Many are overwhelmed by the technology and uncomfortable going online in ways. This 30-Day online experience provides influencers the clarity they need to lead with confidence.
Group Coaching Session
When ISC 2020 ends, the transformation doesn't have to.
When you attend Igniting Souls Conference, you gain a new family. It only sounds like hyperbole, until you've experienced it. Many past table-mates stay connected for years to come. Imagine a group of like-minded influencers who support you and your dream with more than just words. At our optional post-con Group Igniter Coaching Session, you'll have the opportunity to experience even greater clarity. We'll equip you with a practical action plan to keep your soul burning bright all year-long.
