Hosting a local \u201cPre-Networking\u201d party in your random city prior to New York City<\/p>\n

For example, in SF I hosted an event prior to *New York Fashion Week*. It culminated in my dancing with Olivia and meeting my \u2066\u202a@toryburch\u202c\u2069<\/a> at her Amex Gala and getting shot by \u2066\u202a@PatrickMcMullan\u202c\u2069<\/a>  #NYFW<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ES40NZPczX<\/a><\/p>\n

Guess how many people came to my Eventbrite event in SF?<\/p>\n

Answer: Not many. (And I\u2019m famous)<\/p>\n

Guess how many are going to come to your event?

Your first event will be
\n– an UnOfficial #AfterParty<\/a> in your local city
\n– preroll for the conference you\u2019d attend if your company were making $3,000,000\/month<\/p>\n

Both. Mutually inclusive of BOTH. [#DJapi<\/a>, 2 #ExternalAPI<\/a>\u2019s together for one crappy little event you do] <\/p>\n

BIG Problem: You\u2019re gonna wanna hire someone to do all these details<\/p>\n

Solution. You cannot delegate this core function. You can\u2019t outsource distribution or you will die. D is For Distribution which is #cs183d<\/a> which \u2066\u202a@StanfordEng\u202c\u2069<\/a> skipped. <\/p>\n
