“To actualize the ideal man.”

The 21 Convention is the first, best, and largest men’s conference in the world. It was the creation of a, then young, individualist named Anthony Dream Johnson (age 17) — with the first international event being held July of 2007 in Orlando, Florida, united States of America.
It’s stated purpose is to surface, restore, and actualize the ideal in man — every willing man on earth.
In principle application, it is a tri-continent gathering of the best and brightest men, of all ages, who seek to achieve their ideals — to achieve happiness, success, and life itself — against any and all odds, obstacles, and challenges they may face in their daily lives, and otherwise.
With champion event architect Anthony Dream Johnson at the helm, what began as a conference to improve quality of life specifically through dating skills and a better understanding of intimate relationships … has become an international phenomenon — largely thanks to video footage being released free to the world from every single event, filmed and streamed in stunning high definition audio and video.
Attracting the best speakers, information, and intellectual exchange the world has to offer, the events and subsequent footage attract over 1,000,000 viewers annually — and climbing.

The event is subtitled “a panorama event for life on earth as a man” because it’s focus is one that does, and always has aimed to encompass all cornerstones of life on earth, relevant to the specific challenges and understandings life as a male demands.
Deconstructed to their most basic form, Anthony Dream Johnson has identified and condensed these aspects into what he calls, the 4 pillars of the ideal man.
- Exercise & Nutrition
- Male/Female Relationships
- Self-Actualization
- Individualism
In essence, the best and highest actualization of a man,
- Physically
- Psychologically
- Spiritually/Philosophically
Underpinned by an ardent committment to a continual process of making those highest potentials real through action — self-actualization — Anthony Dream Johnson has forged The 21 Convention to be man’s best tool, resource, and inspiration for such action and achievement in the 21st century.
By Anthony’s inflexible and unyielding demand for truth, The 21 Convention provides the best knowledge, and the most intense, marathon-like growth experience for men, on earth, and to have ever existed.
Not one attendee in the history of The 21 Convention live events has ever requested a refund. With Anthony’s iron integrity for a superb, best and highest, uncompromising quality of his own work, every attendee leaves with an experience they will never, ever forget – and a sense of life found no where else in the world in such a quality, and in such vivid, radiant abundance.
A sense that happiness, success, life, and the achievement of your own values, not only could, but should happen, and is most certainly possible.
Anthony Dream Johnson

A self-proclaimed “Floridian first, American second, and friend of liberty and reason above all”, Anthony Dream Johnson — as seen in the New York Times #1 best seller The Four Hour Workweek and WGN Chicago — was born August 25th 1988 in south west Florida and matured there until the age of 17.
Graduating from the IB program at Fort Myers High School in May of 2006, Anthony moved to Orlando Florida to attend the University of Central Florida, where he founded The 21 Convention barely 13 months later — in his own personal interest of meeting top dating experts and like minded men, who were also deeply passionate about improving the quality of their lives in every regard, and highly aware of how important, valuable, and increasingly rare this process had become in the 21st century in men, young and old alike — and above all, the fast dissipating pride that is properly attached to the continued practice of this process.
Anthony was an enrolled student at UCF from June of 2006 until January of 2010. Studying for a degree in “interdisciplinary studies”, with a minor in entrepreneurship, Anthony promptly dropped out of college upon failing, for the second time in a row, “How to Start a Business”.

As fate would have it, this same day marked the completion of filming for “Drew Baye — The Documentary” in Altamonte Springs Florida, with high intensity training legend, Andrew Baye — one episode of six total from the highest quality production (a documentary series) Anthony had ever produced.
Shortly after dropping out of college, Anthony flew to Sweden to host The 21 Convention [Europe] for the first time ever, and therefore bring The 21 Convention to a multi-continent stage. The event was held in the capital of Stockholm from June 11th-13th 2010 and continues to this day in London, England, United Kingdom, as well as in the united American States, and come 2012, Australia.

Since this time Anthony has taken on the operation of T21C as a full time job, working relentlessly, vigorously, and joyfully on what he perceives to be his greatest achievement, and the highest expression of his own happiness. In the echo of a famous philosopher, he lives his life in a way that underscores the knowledge identified at the event itself – from male/female relationships, to professional relationships, high intensity training and proper nutrition, self-defense, business, philosophy, and life itself.

Anthony currently lives in south west Florida, but travels regularly for The 21 Convention. Time not spent on The 21 Convention is typically allocated to a voracious self-education habit, and to his second greatest career focus, his personal blog, The Dream Lounge, where he blogs regularly about life, liberty, reason, exercise, nutrition, and for a rational existence, understanding, and exercise of life on earth.
Other topics include behind the scenes discussion and analysis of The 21 Convention, as well as his former best friend, Curtis Franklin Noll (d. August 1st 2008), to whom The 21 Convention 2008 was dedicated in loving memory, and profound reverence of.
Curtis provides to this day an unmatched, fountainhead level of inspiration, motivation, and source of excellence to Anthony .
