Conferences are a great opportunity to promote your business, connect with like minded people, and share your message with a large audience.
Many famous artists, business, and entrepreneurs attribute their early success a major conference. For example, Tim Ferris, Amy Winehouse, Twitter, and Foursquare are famous individuals and businesses that got their start at the South by Southwest conference (SXSW)—a massive annual tech, film, and music conference in Austin, TX.
It can seem intimidating to speak at one of these conferences, but it is easier than you may think.
In this month’s Mastermind event Robert Solano and Jonathan Truong share their experience and tips for how members can get on the schedule atSXSW.
