Welcome to dk’s ThinkTank 2009! It will be in Del Mar California on September 17th, 18th, and 19th.

For the elite group that get invited the cost will be $3k to get in. If that sounds super expensive, then this is not the event for you.

thinktank is an internet business event for people making money with the internet, affiliates, SEO’s, Web 2.0’s, site owners, domainers, programmers, and anyone else making money with the internet. THIS IS NOT A CONFERENCE!

Invites will be going out soon, and when you get one come back to this page and you will be able to register. Shoemoney, Neil Patel and some of the other internet Rock Stars have already confirmed they are coming. Official invites will go out soon.

Thursday, Sep. 17th will start off in a beautiful ocean front historic building where everyone will get a chance to meet each other, discuss their current projects, goals and areas of expertise. After that it will be a nonstop three days of fun in the sun, surfing lessons, crazy fun activities, and nonstop networking, problem solving, strategies of success, and oh yes, drinks.

This is a big event, for big kids who like to have fun. Don’t be surprised. Don’t come expecting to be lectured to, or led by the hand. This is an event for those who already know what they are doing, and are looking to network with the best of the best.

This is a fun group who is not afraid to be a little wild. Don’t come if you are easily offended.
(Last year a few were shocked when some girls pranced around in bikinis with sponsors t-shirts on.)

We will have an open bar for most of the event. We will have excellent food. We will have lots of fun activities that you can either be part of or just watch. It aint fancy. We will be hanging out in an open air tent 10 feet from the sand in Del Mar, in a historic building by the beach, and in excellent restaurants and bars. It is shorts and t-shirts for most of the event, with a sweater or jacket suggested for the evenings. (Some nights a lot of the people never slept

Most of the people would hang out at night after the event at the L’Auberge hotel until early the next morning. For the cheapskates there is another Motel next door to the event that costs less. At the end of last years event, thinktankers were not just networking with each other, but in the majority, were close lifelong friends. I saw a lot of people leaving the event with big hugs. We originally almost named the event ThinkTank Summer Camp, and that name still really fits. This is the only event where your entry fee will most likely get you a hug from Shoemoney ROFL!

Last year there were more than a few new businesses created as a result of those who first met at the ThinkTank. We also had spray on tattoos, chair massage, chiropractic and MMA training by Shawn Tompkins top MMA coach and pro-MMA fighter Sam Stout.

The attendees of the ThinkTank and the Elite Retreat have a fair amount of cross over. When you go to the big conferences now, you will often see this group getting together for dinners or just moving through the conference as a pack!

Watch your E-mail for an invite, and if you get one sign up quick as your invite code will only be valid for a short time. Also the main hotel WILL sell out completely, so sign up now and afterwords get the hotel info and sign up quick, or you very well may not get to stay in the main hotel.

If you are not on my e-mail list, and think you should be at the event, fire me an e-mail at dk (at) purposeinc.com. Let me know a bit about who you are and what you can add to the group.
