Why is this different?
A unique experience unlike any other industry event
Proven strategies working right now
Our speakers have turned their content into media empires. You'll get their unfiltered advice, real data, and step-by-step strategies.We'll cover: Newsletters and email marketing. Information and digital products. Sponsorships and advertising. YouTube and podcasts. AI and MUCH more.
Insightful and original content, not just panels
We require speakers to prepare and share real tactics that are working in their businesses, and how they can apply to you.Expect presentations, workshops, Q&As, interactive content, and panel discussions. A content experience that’s worth 10X the price of admission.
Dedicated, structured, and fun networking
We know the most important part of an event is the connections you make. We designed the perfect environment to meet with peers and partners. Our networking time isn’t just the breaks between content. It’s so much more.
Absolutely no BS
We DON'T: Rush attendees from session to session without time to network. Invite speakers who are more interested in talking about themselves than helping attendees. Pitch on stage. Or do any of the other transactional nonsense you see at other events.
