A unique experience that empowers creative entrepreneurs. It offers practical tools to help you get from where
you are now to where you truly want to be, empowering you
to think big, articulate your ‘what-ifs?’ and turn them into ‘what nexts?’.

Do you get stuck in the “how-to’s” and the “now whats”? Are you a great dreamer and a terrible doer? Do you have skills, but no ideas?
What If Launch is a collaborative project that takes ideas from conception to reality.
It’s time to stop talking and start doing. Launch will show you that you can do it.
We have a group experts ready to help you make your new business a reality (you’ll meet them all on April 7th), as well as a prize package that will help your new business survive long term. Yes, you can walk out of What If, 2015 with a brand-new business!
After a very successful launch in 2014, the Test Kitchen is back!
Have you ever had an idea you were convinced was “the idea”?
During What If, 2015 ideas will be shared. Each “test-er” will get 5 minutes to explain their concept to the What If attendees after which they will have time to explore your idea on their own, offering feedback, insight, collaboration and more.
The Test Kitchen is designed to make a “What If” become a “What’s Next”.
Check out our 2014 Test Kitchen. We are accepting applications for the 2015 Test Kitchen shortly!
What If we did more than simply conference and create community? What if we gave back?
This question has been haunting us since What If 2012, Cabo – we wanted to do more than we were. Simply donating dollars to charity seemed like the easy way out. We wanted to DO MORE…
Hearing Innovator Liz Forkin Bohannon speak at What If 2012, PDX made us realize action only happens when you actually do something. Talking about it won’t get you anywhere. Wanting to do it, won’t get you anywhere.
Spurred to action, we put our community of creatives is to work at What If 2013, DR. We carried this initiative into What If 2013, Bali and What If 2014, PHX and we will continue at What If 2015, Cancun.
Details are coming soon…we are selecting partners and will have humanitarian options available for our attendees as soon as we can. If you are part of, or know of, a group in the Cancun area that could used the help of hundreds of hands, please let us know.

— Vidyuta Rangnekar“I had a few friends who attended What If before me and I asked them about their experiences. The replies were always the same ‘you just have to experience it.’ This didn’t really explain much but after attending the Day Camp in Nashville I realized why it is so hard to put it into words. Most conferences just teach business and photography related topics which are so easy to describe. What If teaches you about yourself, why you do what you do and asks you to explore what is most important to you. It addresses issues such as fear and asks you to face those fears head on so you can reach your goals. What If Conf has created a community of like minded artists around the world who share similar goals and thrive on seeing one another succeed. It’s was so crazy to arrive at the day camp not knowing anyone and leaving feeling like I had made so many new friends. The speakers and presenters and so genuine, open and honest with their stories, successes and struggles. I left with a sense of purpose, direction and renewed passion for photography.”
— Graham ScobeyWhat If is more than just a conference. What If is a community. It is a team of people who will fight for you and struggle with you. It is a network of accountability; a group that will hold you to the bold things you were meant to do.
— Amanda PoetkerWhat If is a group of people who believe in doing, rather than just dreaming. It’s a group of people who will meet you where you are at, and then give you the kick in the pants you need to get started on whatever you’ve been dreaming about.
— Tamara LackeyI’ve been lucky to be an active part of five What If events now, and I love the entire experience of all of its offerings. Whether it’s connecting with like-minded creatives, learning from fantastic innovators, or sharing some incredible evenings with a conference full of suddenly-best friends, you’re usually doing so in one of the most beautiful places in the world.Thanks so much for creating this, Jen!
