It’s April now, and with T21C Stockholm only ~7 weeks away … well hell, I for one think it’s time to formally introduce the speakers! The following line up is in no particular order – because everyone on it is just awesome (although I don’t necessarily include myself, as I’m the one writing this, and that’s just a tad unfair).

Adam Lyons

Ah the one and only ‘AFC’ Adam Lyons. Mega popular around the world, Adam is a two year veteran to The 21 Convention, has been voted the world’s best pick up artist time and again, is featured in the upcoming documentary series The Community Tapes (and has already been seen on a full feature BBC documentary), and is CEO of the North American branch of Pua Training.

If you can come up with a more impressive resume for a convention such as this, I’d like to see it, as this guy takes the cake – and with good reason. Get stoked, Adam’s coming to Stockholm this June and “bringing the rain” (I’m asking him to anyway).

Richard ‘Gambler’ La Ruina

When he’s not busy meeting the hottest women in the UK, or being interviewed on every major news station in the country, Richard ‘Gambler’ La Ruina is busy running one of the most successful dating advice companies in the world. Founder and CEO of Pua Training, Richard has long been considered a master pick up artist – and for that matter, many would consider him one of the best in the world.

Look forward to meeting the man behind the the wildly successul Pua Training this June in Stockholm Sweden (I believe one of, if not his first appearance at a non Pua Training conference).

Jeremy ‘Soul’

Holy crap, what a room eh?! That was Jeremy ‘Soul’ at the 2008 Real Man Conference.

So who is this guy?

Jeremy is widely considered to be one of the best ‘day game’ coaches in the world, was voted to be one of the top ten pick up artist’s in the world in 2009 by TSB Magazine, and is a lead instructor for Love Systems (a company represented by Braddock in 2008 at The 21 Convention).

Speaking of Love Systems, he won’t be alone this year, and will be joined by none other than …

Keychain

Based in the UK and brother in arms with Jeremy ‘Soul’ as a fellow Love Systems instructor, Keychain was also voted as one of the world’s top ten pick up artist (2009) by Thundercat – who wrote the same list featured in the #1 NY Time’s best selling book The Game.

Find out more about Keychain at his Love Systems team bio.

Steve “El Topo” Mayeda

Steve “El Topo” Mayeda is another convention veteran – this being his third year, and third convention. A truly helpful and down to Earth guy, Steve is often considered one of, if not the best coaches in the industry, with his revolutionary “Red Stack” program, attention to detail – and most imporant of all, focus on the individual.

Look forward to him in our upcoming documentary series, The Community Tapes (his episode will be releasing Sunday May 2nd, 5pm EST).

Bad Boy

*Credit for this photo goes to Cliff’s List Convention 2006

Badboy, the original ‘direct game’ guru, featured in none other than The Game by Neil Strauss.

Does any more really need to be said about ‘Badboy’? We’re talking about the first semi-main stream coach to teach a direct approach to meeting women – quite the counter culture during the old days of the ‘pickup community‘ when thousands of men were running around spouting off about chicken, fish, and which gender lies more… yikes =)

Find out more about Badboy here.

Dharam (Pua Training)

Dharam is a master trainer for Pua Training with Richard La Ruina and Adam Lyons. He’s the author of Nice Guy Game, and according to Adam Lyons, one of the best day game coaches around – and the most enthusiastic for sure.

Check out his content on The21Convention.com here and his free book here (it’s good).

Kian & Alexander (Charismatic Revolution)

Charismatic Revolution is the largest and most popular dating company in Sweden. What Pua Training is to the UK, and Love Systems/Real Social Dynamics are to the United States, Charismatic Revolution is to Sweden. These guys are a big deal, and naturally with the event being right smack in their home town, they are sending two of their top instructors – Kian and Alexander.

Vince Kelvin (Co-founder Pua Summit)

If The 21 Convention is the world’s leader in “men’s success” comprehensively, Pua Summit is surely the world leader in the more specific niche of success with women – and this guy is one of the founders.

Besides running Pua Summit three years in a row over in California, Vince is also a full time dating coach and author. Check out his event website here, and coaching site here (where his new book is also located).

Jared ‘Ratisse’

Ah one of my favorite pictures of my old room mate and I. Me looking tired and/or high as a kite (I don’t drink or do drugs for the record), and Jared making out with his girl for the night – something he decided to do 30 seconds after meeting her as well.

In any case, ‘Ratisse’ has been to all three years of The 21 Convention, spoke in 2008 and 2009, and he is damn sure not missing our first event in Europe. Look forward to one of the most underrated and best pick up artists this community has ever seen this June in Stockholm (seriously, Jared is insanely good with women).

Frederick ‘Satisfaction’

In the beginning of 2004 Frederick’s housemate handed him a book about “The Art of Seduction” which sparked his journey towards the real heart of mutual attraction. Frederick has always been a person who appreciates the real-life over the online world, so instead of searching for ‘community’ forums he started going out again for more than just drinks and proceeded to meet, flirt with and seduce women. At the end of the year he met a wonderful woman and the two began a relationship, but he kept his interest in ‘flirtatious communication’. Heartdoc took several psychology courses along with his business degree and learned more about body language, NLP and personal development in general.

When his relationship ended in the beginning of 2008 he decided to develop his social skills to their fullest potential. Frederick has lived in a world full of adventures ever since. He was asked to coach for the Dating Doctors in 2009 and has enjoyed various coaching jobs in the past such as tennis-coaching, English as a second language teaching and university skills teaching. Nowadays he works primarily for Titan Seduction which he owns together with ‘Wildcouger’ and ‘Caveman’. Titan Seduction does not make products and focuses exclusively on coaching; the company has quickly become a recognized name in the Netherlands.

Dejan (‘Zebra’)

Dejan, 2007 convention attendee, 2008 speaker, former student of mine (from when I used to coach, that has far surpassed me with women), native to Stockholm (and the guy helping me spearhead this event), and close friend – it’s an absolute honor to have him back at The 21 Convention. I honestly believe he gave one of the best speeches in the history of this convention (see above link), and that this guy is so underrated it defies description.

If you want someone who will tell you about the soul purging journey that is being a man, this guy will tell you like it is, like no one else can. He’s also incredibly talented with meeting women, and is definitely someone you should take notice of when we’re all out and about in Stockholm.

I should also mention, Dejan is the only completely non-commercial speaker at the event in Stockholm. Even if you wanted to pay for or buy something from him, he just doesn’t do it. He’s here to help – period.

…

Aright guys, that’s the line up for what I believe to be the longest independent conference in Europe’s history – and with a full 17 speakers, we are PACKED out!

17 because BadBoy is bringing one of his instructors, and Charismatic Revolution is sending both Kian and Alexander.

The more I think about it too… the more I wonder if this is one of our best line ups yet, if not one of the best in the history of men’s success. From Gambler to Adam, to Badboy, to Soul, to El Topo … holy crap, the list goes on and on – and dollar for dollar meets or even surpasses the USA line up in terms of dating and relationship experts – although, that’s kinda hard to swing either way.

Because of this almost – but not entirely =) – unexpected and insane speaking roster, I think guys elsewhere in the world should seriously consider heading out to Stockholm this June 11th-13th. I already know a handful of individuals heading out, so you won’t be alone. Although obviously, the flight there is the most prohibitive part at around ~900 USD. Is it worth it?

Defintely – but only if you can afford it. If it puts you in a deep financial hole, I can’t support advising you to go in good conscience – but otherwise, I hope to see you there!

Speaking of which, if you can attend both conferences, shoot Peter Murphy an e-mail at Peter (at) The21Convention.com – we are offering a substantial discount for attending both live events, as that shows your support for The 21 Convention more clearly than almost anything else imaginable.

Click here to sign up for The 21 Convention 2010 of Stockholm Sweden.

€299.95 until May 10th, at which point the price increases to €349.95 (not considering any discounts)

See ya soon
