We’ll be doing a little blog series this week about the things you should know concerning the Influence Conference. These posts are geared towards women already attending and women who are still on the fence. We’ll be discussing topics about how the Influence Conference is meant to build community, the worth of its investment in your life, and how purposeful (and fun!) your conference experience will be with us in Indianapolis.

We know there are women that want to come to the Influence Conference but most likely won’t for various reasons. If you are that woman, we would love for you to hear our voice, our vision for this conference, and why we want you with us in October:

If you are still undecided, what is keeping you from attending the conference? Is it money-related? Is it fear of not finding your place in community? Is it being unsure whether or not your voice has influence? Is it because you hate stripes and don’t want to wear a striped outfit to the Stripes Party? (Kidding.)

One thing we’ve decided to do in order to help those who are still on the fence about attending is to not raise ticket prices for the conference. That means they will stay at $200 per ticket (instead of $250). We don’t want to hold anyone back from being able to attend the conference for reasons related to money.

As entrepreneurs, writers, business women, wives, mothers, and students, we understand the sacrifice of investing your hard-earned income into something that may seem intangible. It’s hard to invest towards a dream that still seems fuzzy or a goal that is still somewhat unclear. You may know that God wants you to use your online voice and business for Him, but aren’t quite sure what that looks like in the big scheme of life.

This is why the Influence Conference was created: to guide you in finding your purpose and the plan that God has for your business, blog, and everyday life. Our vision is that every women comes with a desire to learn how to use their gifts to spread the Gospel, and leaves feeling energized, equipped, and connected as a tribe of Believers willing to help each other pursue that calling on their lives. This is why we want you there.

Stay tuned for more things you should know concerning the Influence Conference this week. Tomorrow, we’ll be sharing some exciting news concerning the gorgeous hotel amenities and fun weekend activities.

For those of you who are attending the Influence Conference: our community leaders are hosting a blog link-up party on Tuesday in order to promote community and get to know each other better before the conference. We’ll share blog links throughout the day through Twitter so you can link-up your own post for the party. It should be a lot of fun! Also, we just sent out our first Influence Conference Newsletter to all attendees. If you did not receive an email, please contact us to make sure we have your correct email address.
