Episode takeaways you don’t want to miss:

There is so much value in cultivating a creative community where we can all be together learning from each other.
Keeping your first event more intimate with a small number of guests will be the perfect trial run and will help cultivate a community of creatives that keep coming back each event wanting more.
Your speaker lineup will make or break your registration. This will also build brand awareness and draw attendees to the event with content that matters to them.
The speakers you select should enhance your brand and your brand should enhance their platform. It is a mutual respect and support to one another’s business.
