Conferences are where people meet to network to get themselves and their companies to the next, next level.<\/p>\n
I recommend working super smart and super hard. I’d use insider secrets that the cool kids are now calling “hacking”.<\/p>\n
Larry Chiang (@LarryChiang) 12\/26\/12 9:59 AM “Hacking Conferences.” It’s a sub franchise under #WTDTYASBS<\/p>\n
If you’d like to hack a conference, email me answers to these questions. Yes its ok that your show is 24 hours away<\/p>\n
-1- What venue is it in?!<\/p>\n
-2- What days are they? April 12-15 is much different if it is Monday to THURS Versus Thursday – Sunday VERSUS Tuesday to Friday<\/p>\n
-3- Have you heard what my mentor taught me about getting “home field advantage on the road”?!<\/p>\n
-4- Do you know what LTMVP is? Google less than minimum viable party.<\/p>\n
-5- Have you heard of ENGR 145?!<\/p>\n
ENGR145’s Anchor Concept: Lemonade and Gua Gua Guacamole<\/p>\n
It moves you to the right on the entrepreneur bell curve<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the class you execute a MVBP (minimum viable blog post). And you write two of them before the conference even starts.<\/p>\n
-6- What is your conference intention?!<\/p>\n
-7- Do you as a woman have a conference mentor<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do you have phrases to counter unwanted sexual advances?<\/p>\n
-8- Do you have a YouTube media strategy that works even at packed conferences like sxsw?!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
-9- Have you heard of the business recipe where you go from “crashing the conference to speaking at the conference”?! Google ‘Gua Gua Guacamole’ for a list of recipes my mentor taught me via a 1983 book: WTDTYAHBS<\/p>\n
