WHO WE ARE
The Peculiar Collective wasn't initiated from a vision but it took an entire team to make the vision come to life. With multiple backgrounds, multiple stories, multiple stories, and tons of expertise we united a team to professionally execute concepts to best suit our style of education. With big hearts, and quick response the collective continues to grow at a rapid pace.

GET CONFERENCE TIX
In 2024 we care taking it up a notch!!!
Last year we had some of the best speakers that speak across multiple platforms as well as service some of the top people in every industry across the globe. With Information ranging from IPS to Mastering Composition technicals, attendees left with notebooks full of information and gems that transformed their business for the new year.
With that, we want to amplify the power by 3X if not more. More information, more networking, more vendors, larger rooms, and larger audience.
