We are freakishly excited to announce our PRESENTING SPONSOR for the BIG dream gathering on May 16th in West Des Moines! 

It's our friends at West Bank. 

If you're familiar with West Bank… you already know that they have a rich history in helping Iowans to get connected and to go after their dreams. 

So, they are the perfect fit for partnering with the BIG dream gathering as our presenting sponsor!

Plus, West Bank is committed to keeping the BIG dream gathering a safe place to dream BIG and connect.  So, their support not only makes it possible to keep the BDG FREE to attend, but it also keeps it free from any surprise sales pitches or hidden catches! 

West Bank's support also makes it possible for us to bring some fun new elements to the BDG this year!

So THANK YOU to West Bank for believing in the BIG dream gathering and for believing in the concept of REAL people helping each other with their BIG dreams!

We are excited to announce that RE/MAX Real Estate Concepts is one of our Core Sponsors for the BIG dream gathering in West Des Moines on May 16th.

Our sponsors help to make the BDG a safe and fun environment… as well as FREE to attend! 

More importantly, they team up with us for the express purpose of promoting BIG dreaming in the community.

In fact, as we talked about it… Broker/Owner, Robb Spearman told us…

"It is not dreaming or achieving the dream that brings happiness into
our lives.  It is the journey or steps we take each and everyday toward
those dreams.   Attending the BIG dream gathering is one of those first
steps to breathing happiness into our lives!"

Yeah… we love that thought and we couldn't agree more!

So plan on coming out to the BIG dream gathering on May 16th!  (Click here to find out more.)

And in the meantime… check out the RE/MAX Real Estate Concepts website to find out more about what they do.

Some people who are thinking about coming to the BDG in Des Moines on May 16th are wondering… what is it like to participate in a BIG dream gathering?

Well… Lucas and Mike… our amazing film crew captured the experience the last time the BDG was in Des Moines.  Check it out.

So… how about it?  Why not come… post a dream or two… have some fun… connect… and possibly launch your dream?

And… before you go… find out more about some of the dreamers highlighted in this video… cuz… their dreams are happening!

LawnBagBuddy. By the way, Chris thought it would take him 3 years… but he had product in stores within a year!!

AdamSpeaks. Last year, Adam spoke on 30+ college campuses and is on track to speak at more this year!

RealLifeE. Elizabeth has launched her BIg dream and has been speaking to women in business and college students all across the country!

RawPhoriaLive. This is a BIG dream that happened so fast… Robin and her team had to take a break and retool.  But they are working on how to do that and they can’t wait to bring their products to stores near you… soon!

So how about you?

What’s one of your BIG dreams?

Why not bring it on May 16th… and see what happens?

Wondering why the next BIG dream gathering is on Sunday, May 16th?

Well… great question!

The short answer is that it's the  4th anniversary of the first BIG dream gathering. 

That's right!  This all started 4 years ago!

Yup… it's been 4 years since that first BDG… the "accidental one"… the one that Melissa and Mitch held in their house… the one that was supposed to last for a few hours but wound up lasting for A WEEK!  (Whoops!?!) 

If you don't know the story… you can click here to find out more.

So… we thought it would be fun to celebrate four years of dreaming BIG by bringing it back to West Des Moines and holding it on the anniversary!

Sound good?  Are you in?  Can't wait to see you there!

Yes… Prairie Life Fitness is not only one of our sponsors… but they are also going to host the event at their beautiful location in West Des Moines.  (Click here for directions.)

We asked Debby Hudson, the manager of PLF, why she wanted to support the BIG dream gathering in Des Moines. 

She explained, "We believe dreams can come true and we'd love to help people to make their dreams a reality!"

She also added, "We think it's important to get people dreaming BIG because Des Moines ROCKS and we want to keep it that way!"

We couldn't have said it better ourselves!
