Heading in a New Direction – SMB Nation Fall 2013

Fall 13 Signature image

Feedback. Feedback. Feedback. The 11th annual Fall conference has been re-architected incorporating community feedback on what you want a three-day, independent SMB technology conference to be. It’s resulted in a new approach to align with new emerging technologies, business models and conference formats.

 

Pathways. Inside each track (GeekSpeak, BusinessSpeak) you will find well-designed pathways to have a start and finish with everything relating together. The “Build The Coolest Company In The World” (CCW) pathway inside the GeekSpeak track allows you to attend four classes that take you from A-Z (Start to Finish) in creating a complete SMB IT infrastructure scenario for the real world. The emphasis is on the pragmatic with very specific keystrokes you will complete in designing, implementing, administrating and troubleshooting a solution you can start implementing on Monday when you return to work. The “Hybrid Hedge Strategy” pathway in the BusinessSpeak track reflects reality. It’s not all cloud all the time. It’s no longer strictly on-premises IT infrastructure. The truth is in the middle for the vast majority of SMBs. This mature adult conversation assess the pros and cons of fringe solutions and how to approximately hedge your SMB IT consulting practice to mitigate both obslnce and cutting-edge risk factors to preserve and enhance your overall profitability.

Audience Attraction. Long an asset of all SMB Nation events, the emphasis on peer-to-peer conversations at the three-day professional event is being emphasized as we recruit and attract net new attendees to diversify our community. This means you’re like to be mentored by a big league MSP one afternoon while you share your own hard-earned wisdom with a newbie the next. Count on make new friends who will offer intelligent insights and differing opinions long after the conference has concluded. It’s our greatest asset.

Immediate Opportunities. Individual “precision lectures” will target immediate bona fide opportunities where you can make the big bucks within 30-days. Pay for your conference and the kid’s college with guidance on security (the new-new boom in IT with cyber-terrisiom) and Windows XP migrations (can you say Y2K all over again?).

Crowd Sourcing. We’ve held back a few lectures that we’ll announce later. Why? Because we’ve just begun to crowd source content for our events insure we provide you with contemporary and current in-demand content that you want to hear NOW. The good news is that you can tell us what you want to hear and we’ll listen. Call our founder Harry Brelsford at 206-201-2943 x103 directly with you suggestions and be prepared to recommend both topics and subject matter expert speakers who can deliver big time.
