“Conference season” is nearly upon us again. As leaders we try our best to not only make it to a number of events across numerous cities and states amid already full schedules, but also determine which conferences, summits, and masterminds will provide the most value. The easiest mistake to make is overloading - better to be fully present at a handful of carefully picked events than blowing in and out of a whirlwind of events such that they all flow together. Intentionality is key. Maintain flexibility within reason. Be okay saying, “Not this year.” Can/should a member of your team attend instead? I have found these reflections incredibly helpful, and even more so as each year passes and there always seems to be a new event to attend! This busy season can be incredibly valuable if done right!

Ever noticed how smaller events are like exclusive VIP lounges? Smaller crowds mean you really get to mingle and dig deep into knowledge-sharing. That's where the real magic happens for business leaders like you. It's about quality connections, not just quantity. https://lnkd.in/eskx43ix Ready to build those skills and meet the movers and shakers of the digital asset world? 🌐💼 Share your thoughts or hit that like button if you're all about meaningful networking!

I recently read an article from a well-known PA publication about getting ahead with event planning. Two of their top tips were creating a to-do list and remembering to serve non-alcoholic drinks. Seriously?! That isn't key advice to help you smash an event (and raise your profile). After successfully organising several large-scale offsite conferences, here are a few of mine: ➡️ Go beyond the brief - When searching for a venue, throw in a wildcard option. More often than not, this is the one that is selected. ➡️ Schedule regular check-ins with key stakeholders - Update them on your progress and use these meetings to gain alignment. Be sure to come prepared with your thoughts and insights. ➡️ Network - This is an excellent opportunity for exposure across the Leadership Team and the wider business. You want to be the one they think of when another event needs organising. ➡️ Delegate feedback - If appropriate, create a post-event evaluation survey and send it out the day after the event. You want constructive feedback, so try to preempt any issues delegates might have during the event and put solutions in place. Be sure to refer to this feedback when planning your next event. #EA #eventplanning #EAnetwork

Networking events and conferences can feel awkward AF at times… But the mesh conference was the opposite of this experience. The way that it was designed and structured is what made it different… From a networking perspective, most attendees were curious and collaborative… I’ve learned that the initial engagement of a conversation can be awkward at times but what gets me excited is facilitating introductions based on the new connections that I make 🤝 From an agenda perspective, it alternated between a panel / speaker to a networking break and then we ended on a high-note with Meghan Donohoe and Sabrina Sullivan (she / her) facilitating an engaging and insightful conversation about how unsustainable leadership currently is especially in a complex world full of adaptive challenges. 📣 Now, for the shout outs: Thank you Paisley Churchill for telling me about this conference! Thank you Digital Alberta for doing a giveaway and selecting me as one of the winners 🙏 Alicia Kalozdi MacMillan Chris Hogg Sheri Moore, you and your team crushed it! To all of the incredible new connections that I’ve made at this event, I can’t wait to see where some of these synergies will take us! 🎉To the speakers, it is inevitable that I’m going to miss a few speakers, but a huge kudos to all of you for creating an engaging experience: Leen Li, CPA, CMA Pauline Chan Lauren J Dwyer, PhD Sabrina Sullivan (she / her) Meghan Donohoe April Hicke Brenda Beckedorf Jodi Kovitz Lana A. Dubinskiy Jenny Kay Pollock Avery Francis Mohamed Z. Margo Purcell Claire Dixon Paisley Churchill Tim Carwell Lulu Mashonganyika I’m walking away from this event further inspired to: - Do cool sh*t with cool people and share the cool sh*t that they do. - Further clarify the impact that I want to help leaders and organizations make as they navigate the complex space of change and the evolution of technology.

The Super Bowl is one of the biggest “business conferences” of the year and being in attendance has been on my bucket list since childhood!! 🏟️✅ A business relationship that started over 13 years ago led to an invitation to Las Vegas this year and I’m grateful we could capitalize on the opportunity. The Super Bowl is not just a football game; it's a cultural phenomenon. It brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds, industries, and professions, all united by their love for the sport and the excitement of the event. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and camaraderie, creating an environment that fosters incredible connections. I found myself surrounded by industry leaders, decision-makers, and influential individuals who have a shared passion for the game of football and a desire to engage other high achievers. I can honestly say I was able to witness firsthand the strategies, teamwork, and dedication that drive success at the highest level of the sport of business. The lessons learned from observing top executives, entertainers, athletes and coaches is not something I’ll soon forget. Attending an event of this magnitude provided an outlet to showcase my own professional platform as well as sharing the artwork and personal brand of Jazmine McFadden M. with several major dealers and companies. The energy and enthusiasm surrounding this event in-person is absolutely electrifying, and the interactions we enjoyed with people from all around the world is simply unparalleled. So, if you ever get the chance to attend such an event, seize the opportunity, soak in the atmosphere, and embrace the potential for growth and success that it offers. Your career will thank you for it! 🏆 #SuperBowl #SuperBowlLVIII #Business #NetworkingOpportunities #CareerGrowth #Conference #Networking
