Everything That Makes This Different
This isn't a lecture series. It's a three-day gathering built around the idea that the best conversations happen when the right people are in the same room.
Full 3-Day Conference Access
Assigned seat at the Sedona Performing Arts Center for all main-stage talks, panels, and presentations.
Friday Night Social Mixer
Kick off the weekend with drinks, music, and good company. Speakers will be in the room, no stage, no schedule, just conversation. Think of it as a party where everyone at the bar has been down the same rabbit holes as you.
Live Q&A With Every Speaker
If you've had a question burning in your head for years, this is the room to ask it.
Intimate Access to the Speakers
Meals, breaks, and hallway conversations. The speakers are here the whole weekend. Some of the best exchanges happen between sessions, not on stage.
Panels & Group Discussions
Multiple speakers on stage at once, challenging and sharing ideas in real time.
Sedona as Your Backdrop
Three days surrounded by 275-million-year-old red rock formations, one of the most recognized energy sites on the planet. The setting changes the conversation.
On-Site Food Trucks
No need to leave the venue. Food trucks are on-site all weekend so you can grab a bite without missing a thing.
A Community That Gets It
The thing people kept talking about after Scottsdale wasn't the speakers — it was the people. You won't have to explain yourself here.
What is Quest?
It started with a simple idea: what if there was a gathering built around curiosity instead of conclusions?
The ancient world is full of stuff that doesn't add up. How were the stones at Puma Punku cut with that kind of precision? Why do more than 400 cultures have a flood story? How is Göbekli Tepe 12,000 years old and more sophisticated than structures built 7,000 years after it? These are genuinely good questions, and they deserve a space where they're taken seriously.
There are researchers who've spent decades investigating this, in the field, at the sites, with the evidence in their hands. And there are a lot of people who've been following their work, watching the videos, reading the books, and carrying this curiosity mostly in private because there isn't always a great place to talk about it.
Quest puts those people in the same room.
Last Year's Sedona Event Recap
Why we're doing this.
Most of us have been carrying this curiosity for a while, some of us for years. You've watched the videos, read the books, gone down the rabbit holes at 1am. And at some point you probably tried to bring it up with someone in your life, at dinner, with a friend, at a family gathering, and got the polite smile. The subject change. The alien joke. So you learned to keep it to yourself, not because you're embarrassed by it, but because there just isn't always a good place for it in your everyday life.
Online has been amazing for that. It's how most of us found this world and found each other. But you can follow every creator and agree with a thousand comments and still be sitting alone in your living room. The internet gave us access to each other's ideas, but it hasn't really given us access to each other. What happened in Scottsdale surprised even us, people who showed up not knowing anyone were making real friendships within hours, and the thing everybody kept bringing up afterward wasn't the speakers or the production, it was the people. The feeling of being in a room where the thing you care about most was just normal, and you didn't have to explain yourself or worry about how it landed.
We're doing this again because that experience deserves a place to keep growing, and Sedona is where it happens next.
I've made so many new friendships and connections over those few days, it leaves me astonished.

What the weekend looks like.
The Official Program
During the day, there are talks and panels from the full speaker lineup, people who've spent decades researching ancient construction, lost civilizations, cross-cultural myths, and the evidence that keeps turning up in places the textbooks don't expect it.
The presentations are rigorous and the Q&A is real. If you have a question, you can ask it.
The Real Magic
But honestly, some of the best stuff happens in between. At meals, where you end up sitting with a speaker and a conversation goes somewhere you didn't expect. During breaks, where you start talking to a stranger and realize they've been down the exact same rabbit holes as you.
Late at night, when the formal program is done and nobody wants to stop talking. Those are the moments people kept bringing up after Scottsdale.
We've built the schedule with room for all of that.
I thought the speakers were great, and you had a really nice A/V setup for the show. And believe me, I have put on and attended many, many lawyer and doctor conferences, so I know the difference in quality. You were also never frazzled and just seemed like a cool guy the entire time.
— Tom Foster Jr
I really feel like I'm in a dream a lot of the time, and your events have been a huge part of that sensation.
— Dan Richards
everyone I have spoken to absolutely loved it!
