What are “TEDTalks?”
The format we are using this year are fifteen minute speaking sessions followed by ten minutes of Q&A from the audience. We've found that this format matches up with our theme of Discovery. Create. Discuss. as it gives opportunity for presentations but also a time of response as well. We've seen this work several times in the past and are excited at how it will add tremendous value to this Business Summit.

No. In the past, the Business Summit included a day of golfing on Monday. This year, the conference is separate from the Golfing Event. You may choose the golfing option during registration if you'd like to participate in the golfing tournament.
Does the cost of the Business Summit include the luncheon at the Broadmoor on Monday?
After the YWAM Golf event at the Broadmoor, there will be a luncheon that is open to anyone who would like to attend. Many times we have business people who would like to continue to network and meet with others over this luncheon but don't want to golf in the morning. You may register just for the luncheon during your registration for the Summit. The luncheon also includes a silent auction that will be open to everyone; even if you didn't golf.
