Wilderness Hike & Picnic
About this meetup
Let's make the most of our time in Idaho and explore the beautiful hills around Boise! There are some great trails accessible from the downtown area with great views and picnic areas. The trails have good phone reception and transportation via Lyft to accommodate a variety of needs for time and accessibility. Hi, I'm Ryan! I'm hosting this meetup for some fun and recreation before the conference starts. Here's how it'll work. We'll meet, review the trail maps, coordinate a couple 8-minute Lyft rides into the hills, and walk the trails back to town. Last time we had about 16 people and it was a blast!

GAME NIGHT: Confidence is a Habit Part 1
About this meetup
Creators who charades together stay together. The more you practice confidence, the more you carve neural pathways that are resilient to fear and rejection. As creators, a lack of confidence can be the thing that keeps us from sharing our deepest creativity. And there’s no better way to practice confidence than by frantically miming “Baby Got Back” while everyone shouts wrong guesses at you.

Beat Out Burnout Brainstorm
About this meetup
One great way to build relationships is by helping each other, and burnout is a struggle every creator faces at some point (or, uhm… constantly?) Let’s share with each other the things we’ve learned about burnout that we wish we’d known years ago! We’ll meet at the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial (close to the Boise River Greenbelt) so you can check out the memorial while you’re there too!

Whitewater Rafting!
About this meetup
It's going to the edge of your comfort zone and getting beyond the question "so what do you do?" where genuine connection happens. So if you're a weirdo like me who gets lit up by this kind of adventure, let's do this! We'll be piling into a van together, driving an hour north of Boise into the mountains of Idaho, and rafting down the South Fork of the Payette River. (With a professional guide and all that jazz. It's a legit rafting company. You'll have a life jacket and gear and sign a waiver, etc. etc.) Approximate itinerary: Wednesday, June 5th - 8am: Meet outside of Treefort Music Hall (722 W Broad St. Boise ID) to drive up - 9am: Check in and start of our 3-hour rafting tour! (we'll be on the water for about 2-2.5 of those hours) - 12pm: Lunch in Horseshoe Bend - 3pm: Back in Boise with time to get ready and head to the opening party that evening

How to Build Your Resilience and Revenue as Creator with Terry Rice
About this meetup
As a creator, we’re fortunate to do work we’re passionate about. But what happens when we hit a roadblock, or struggle to get paid our true value. Is it frustrating? Yes. Is it avoidable? Absolutely. Terry Rice, managing director of Good People Digital and journalist at Entrepreneur magazine, has faced and resolved both of those challenges. His story was the focus of Convertkit’s “I am a Creator” series and he’s ready to share those experiences and lessons with you as well. Beyond that, all attendees will gain access to Terry’s signature course, FORGE Forward: How to Seize Opportunities, Overcome Setbacks, and Perform at Your Highest Level. This is also the perfect opportunity for you to connect with other creators who are focused on building their resilience and revenue, and you’ll be able to develop a tribe that will support after we leave Boise.

Creators Anonymous
About this meetup
The upside of building a creator business is seeing a pure expression of your dreams and passions out in the world touching the lives of others. And while most people never see the blood, sweat, and tears that you pour into your creations, you are not alone in the struggle. Creators Anonymous is an opportunity to share a challenge you have fought hard to overcome, or are currently going through, and to show other creators how not-alone we actually are.
