A three-day life-changing event where hundreds of leaders gather to explore principles applied to real-life with real impact.
5417 N 103rd St, Omaha, NE 68134
For 25 years, Shake the Nations has been a premier gathering for leaders driven by purpose, passion, and impact. We've explored timeless principles that shape how we lead—spiritually, socially, and economically—through the voices of world-class thinkers and doers.
But 2025 marks a turning point.
This year, we’re not just hosting another conference. We’re launching a movement—
The Commonwealth: a bold new space where leaders align around a shared vision of influence, stewardship, and long-term transformation.
Over three days, hundreds of leaders from around the world will come together to:
Rethink leadership through a values-based, purpose-driven lens
Tackle today’s toughest challenges with wisdom and clarity
Design systems that create lasting, generational change
"This is the G20 Summit for the Underdogs"
A summit for change-makers
Designed for real-life action
Recognized speakers and high-impact thinkers
A launchpad for long-term initiatives, partnerships, and movements
Focused on tools, relationships, and roadmaps for impact
Curated for entrepreneurs, and community builders
A generic motivational conference
Focused on inspiration without follow-through
A series of isolated talks without cohesion or depth
A one-off event with no lasting momentum
Filled with fluff, jargon, or shallow networking
Open to anyone without intentional vetting or alignment
