About this event

The people who come to Immersion are those who are called to the mission of furthering the ideals of:

  • Honesty
  • Clarity
  • Humility
  • Fairness
  • Logic, and
  • Advocacy

It’s a radically different experience.

Expect LOTS of this:

  • Peer to peer conversations
  • Opportunities for personal growth
  • Strengthening of group unity and values
  • A group volunteering event
  • Purity of thought
  • Humility
  • Small group interactions such as role playing and tech demos from other advisors not vendors
  • “Ask me anything” sessions with practical insights from actual practitioners
  • Information about “how to do stuff” from people who are actually doing it!
  • Short, engaging presentations – to the point before you fall asleep!
  • Clean, safe accommodations that won’t cost a fortune

And NONE of this nonsense:

  • Sponsorships and exhibition halls
  • Sales pitches from the private REIT salesperson
  • Hidden agendas and conflicts of interest
  • Boring, long presentations
  • High level lectures from “thought leaders”
  • Monogrammed water bottles and other junk
  • Showing off, posturing, and the usual virtue signaling crap
  • Open bar


There is a special focus on Advice Only, Flat Fee, and Hourly service models. If you feel you are called to this mission, join the Immersion.
