PRESS RELEASE ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM ANNOUNCED AS GO GLOBAL CONFERENCE REVISED WITH FRESH ALTERNATIVES ATLANTA, GA – September 12th, 2024. After thoughtful consideration of the challenges and excessive delays that the international partners and stakeholders of the Go Global Conference International Trade and Investment Expo are experiencing, the planning team have chosen to revise the program for the conference. In light of this, the conference organizing team is actively exploring alternative program to achieve the set objectives. Speaking on this development, Ricardo Berris, Chairman of the Go Global Conference Planning Committee, explained that the team is committed to maintaining momentum and has outlined a series of alternative activities leading up to the week of October 2nd - 5th, 2024. According to him, these alternative events are designed to keep the global Black business community connected and engaged. The activities include:  • Exclusive program designed to connect local and international businesses that are still desirous of coming to Atlanta.  • Virtual program that incorporates the key activities of the Go Global Conference during the week of October 2nd - 5th, 2024. These activities are:   -B2B Matchmaking   -GO Pitch Showcase  -Language & Cultural Pods  -International Trade Zone  -Fireside Chats & Panel Discussions  -Workshops and Training In his remarks, Melvin Coleman, President/CEO of the Atlanta Black Chambers, noted that this decision presents an opportunity to deliver an even greater experience for all local and international partners in Atlanta.

I urge everyone to take advantage of the alternative programming that GOC has lined up for the week of October 2nd - 5th, 2024.” For additional information on participating in these hybrid activities, please visit the conference website at goglobalconference.com.

✨ Exciting News! I’m thrilled to share the stage with @Courtney Warnsman at Austin Tech Week! 💡 📅 Join us October 28th for Seize the Week: Tools and Tactics to Thrive at Tech Week — a session packed with actionable strategies, networking tips, and personal goal-setting. 🌟 We're bringing practical insights to help you maximize your time at Tech Week and set yourself up for long-term success. I can’t wait to connect with you there! Drop a comment below 👇if you’ll be attending and what you’re excited to learn.

This is not Normal. This is also not an Anomaly. This is Black Tech Saturdays. This is what an Actual Tech Community looks like. Being a Founder you constantly look at the possibilities of things, so we tend to have a slightly different perspective of events. What I see is an opportunity for Customer Discovery. I see hundreds of New Customers every event. I see people that can make connections that can change lives. I see networking practice with people that are just as nervous as you are. Johnnie Turnage and Alexa Turnage have built everything a Funded company needs to make it through the Pre-Seed and Seed stage organically. BTS is no longer just a Tech Community to me. It has become a Culture. Seeing Hundreds of People packed into Newlab at Michigan Central for a Pitch Competition on a Saturday afternoon was breathtaking. I have nothing to compare it to because there is no comparison. To think. This is still the beginning. WHEW!!!

Thinking about attending a Tech Conference in 2025??? Tap into my latest YouTube video about my experience. I hope this video encourages you to attend some Tech Conferences this year

CES is chaos. There's no other way to describe it. 150 countries. 1400 startups. 4300 total exhibitors. 135,000 attendees. To get discovered in the chaos of it is one thing. But to get discovered AND to be applauded, amongst this vast pool of companies, was nothing short of a miracle. From the steady flow of attendees and tour groups to being honored with - not one - but two awards, our team was feeling the love for Lotus (Techstars'23)! But don’t take my word for it. Here is what some highly reputed journalists and content creators had to say: "While this tech can be useful for anyone, it’s refreshing to see a company that prioritizes those of us so often underserved." - Louryn Strampe, WIRED “This is a great example of repurposing old Tech into new Tech, in a smaller new format. And now people with movement disabilities can easily control parts of their home with a ring they have with them at all times." - Joshua Chang, YouTuber with over 185k subscribers “When the prototype I tried worked, it felt a bit like having a very specific kind of superpower, one I wouldn’t mind using in my daily life." - Chris Velazco, The Washington Post Folks just "get" our mission, and the need for accessible tech resonates so widely. Although Lotus has had plenty to celebrate since attending CES in January, it was a wonderfully chaotic way to kick off 2024. 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gcasBRGG
