This might have been my favorite event yet (and I have spoken at a lot of events)! Amazing energy and intention in the room. These high achievers came for growth, connection and wisdom and we received all we could handle and more. So grateful for BookThinkers creating this beautiful event and space to grow.

What an honor to serve as the emcee for this awesome experience. Nick, Luke, and the team lead with excellence and truly carry the heard of the authors they serve. I only emcee transformational events, and this one was all about turning information into demonstration. The people Nick attracts are authentic, mission-driven, and ready to make real impact. I am grateful that I got to be a part of it.

The level of quality that Nick is able to bring into one room is truly admirable and the definition of quality over quantity. The insights, connections, the proximity and of course the knowledge makes this event one of the best events I would advise any entrepreneur to attend if they're serious about networking and growth. Thank you to Nick and the BookThinkers Team for always raising the bar. Together we rise.

I can truly say this event was not only entertaining, but it was informative and educational. The atmosphere created by the BookThinkers Team and the speakers was welcoming and inspiring. It's hard to pick favorites out of an incredible roster of speakers, but Jill Schulman really challenged me in ways I haven't thought of before. Thank you BookThinkers Team for putting on this event and helping build such a great community. Can't wait for next year!

2025 Event Attendee
After attending conferences for over 40 years, and speaking professionally in Iceland since 1997, I can honestly say this one stands out. From the thoughtful little details I've never seen before (like mints and toothbrushes waiting for us in the restroom after lunch) to the speakers, the flow, and the whole vibe, it was next-level. I am truly grateful. We met so many amazing people and made real connections, and everyone we talked to felt the same. This conference was worth every dollar!

2023 Event Speaker and Attendee
Attending and speaking at the 2023 BookThinkers event was a powerful experience—every person in the room was not only high-achieving but deeply aligned with values of growth, integrity, and impact. It felt less like a networking event and more like joining a tribe of purpose-driven leaders I still stay connected with today.

2023 Event Attendee
Going into BookThinkers’ 2023 event, I had no idea what to expect. I was fortunate to have met a few people before the event that were attending, but other than that, I was coming in with a blank slate. After that weekend, my heart was as full as it had ever been and my mind was exploding with new ideas and ventures. BookThinkers’ event brought together a wonderful group of collective wisdom that you simply won’t find anywhere else. If you are truly trying to elevate your life, this is the event for you.

My wife Tara and I attended the 2023 BookThinkers event in Columbus, Ohio, and boy are we glad we did!

We are coming back to the event in Boston this year and are very excited to learn more and to meet more new people!

2023 Event Speaker and Attendee

My wife and I had the pleasure of attending the Book Thinkers event in Columbus, Ohio in 2023, and it far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible sense of community that Book Thinkers has cultivated. It wasn’t just an event—it felt like a gathering of friends, even among people we were meeting for the first time.
One of the highlights for us was hearing from inspiring keynote speakers like Vanessa Van Edwards, whose insights left a lasting impression. We also loved the opportunity to meet and interact with so many amazing authors during the book signings—those moments made the experience feel truly personal and unforgettable.
Most importantly, we left with more than just knowledge and signed books—we left with real connections and new friendships. We’re already counting down the days until the next Book Thinkers event!

2023 Event Attendee
The BookThinkers event in 2023 was one of my favorite personal development events of the year. The event was incredibly well rounded, with a diverse range of top authors speaking, Nick conducting an interview and then engaging in Q&A from the crowd. The entire event felt like an active workshop, bringing together like minds with the purpose of growth. Afterwards it was very easy to socialize with everyone there, audience, speakers, or Bookthinkers Staff, I even made some new friends/accountability partners who I did fitness challenges and discussed business with. Well worth the investment and I look forward to the next one
