Over the years- and especially over the past year when things have really taken off- there has been a lot of interest from the Euro crowd for The 21 Convention.
A few have flown in from Europe for the convention- attendees and speakers alike. But more relevant to this thread, quite a number of attendees have requested I "take the show on the road" to...XYZ location.
Europe, Australia, even other parts of the US.
There are benefits and challenges to hosting an additional convention in a foreign location. However, I have been weighing those pros and cons lately and it seems to me that having a T21C in Europe is the most feasible at this point- in addition to the US one in Orlando.
Not only does the interest seem high there, but I have been in contact with many Euro based speakers over the years for the US event and it makes a lot of sense in the regard.
So, I'm making this thread to further gauge the interest level before diving in head first and making this happen. Any and all thoughts, comments, suggestions, and so on are SUPER welcome.
As of right now, I have the following details in mind (after speaking with a close friend and former convention speaker who lives in Europe)
Date- June of 2010
Location- Stockholm Sweden (home of the most beautiful women in the world)
Duration- 2-3 days 10am-6 pm daily
Number of speakers- at least a dozen
Possible line up
Myself
Zebra (from 2008, see [link] )
Gambler (Pua Training, obviously haha)
Dharam (Pua Training)
Johnny Soporno
Neil Natura
Zan Perrion
Sheriff (Love Systems)
Price is difficult to say before doing more research with conference room costs, but it would likely reflect current T21C US online prices, which range from $150-$350 US dollars.
We would likely do some sort of mini approach a thon workshop for free (one night) at the event, and hopefully like in the US, speakers offer their pro coaching as well.
Anyway, I'm pretty excited. Let me know your thoughts guys and we'll see what can happen!

ps- if you have no idea what T21C is please see this video
pps- as for filming...it's difficult to promise something this early, but if we do make this happen, I will do my best to have it professionally filmed and released for free in streaming HD like the rest of the US footage. It's only proper =)
hey man I like the idea, a nice trip to mainland europe could be fun (pua road trip anyone? lol) but yar sounds good and would be a nice lil meet up. Also if it is next year who knows I may be able to do free mini bootcamps on the days around the event. So yar keep us up to date with this x

I was in Sweden this past summer and can I recommend a different city?
Stockholm has a very boring night life and ZERO coffee shop culture, people don't seem to talk to each other there.
I also visited Gothenburg, the second largest city, it has whole different aura, great clubs, great hotels, and the coffee shops are on every corner, people seem to be out 24/7, it's a wonderful city with extremely beautiful girls, also there are beaches in Gothenburg, I didn't see one in stockholm.

Just a suggestion from my own experience.
hmm, I've heard the opposite about Stockholm from Zebra, but I'm open to new ideas. Beaches are always good too =)
Also, anyone have thoughts on doing it in Amsterdam instead?

I always wanted to go to Sweden. I'm up for a pua road trip.
But Amsterdam is logistically seen easier to travel to, for me atleast
Ive been getting a lot of e-mails lately, so, things are looking really good. I had no idea there was such a strong community in Sweden.
Consdiering this, and that my main man in Europe, lives in Stockholm, it's going to be there. He keeps raving about how hot the chicks are too- and apparently there are beaches in Stockholm.
Hot chicks in Sweden? If only you went a bit East my friend. Oh, if only you went a bit East But hey, no need for PUA in places like Latvia, Russia, or Lithuania. Good luck!
dream any idea why the 09 videos are real buggy for me? i can let it buffer out all the frames have a real laggish feeling voices are real choppy etc
Do you have "hd" turned off? If not, I can imagine that would immediately solve your problem. If you do already have it off let me know and Ill see if there's anything I can do.
Working on Sweden hard guys, will have official details soon. Thanks for all the support!
We have secured a hotel, this is going down, for real. A post will be released soon on the site detailing everything- I will link it here when it's up.
