Hey, folks: Attending business conferences isn’t just about making contacts and sales. It’s about expanding your mind, inspiration, new ideas, and new people. At least once a year try to get to an unusual event that makes you think.
I’m attending GEL: Good Experience Live this year, and I’m very excited. Watch some of the videos from last year. There are plenty of executive speakers, but also artists, performers, chefs, a bridge-building contest, and a food tour of NYC. Check it out.
You should also attend at least one Unconference this year: Find your local PodCamp, BarCamp, and Pecha Kucha Night.
I wish I had been at The Up Experience and BIL.
For a raw dose of unfiltered entrepreneurial energy, get to eBay Live. It doesn’t matter if you sell on eBay – there is no place on earth with more entrepreneurs in one room. Soak it up.
