Shameless WeMedia Promotion (1 of many)
We are just over a month away from the beginning of our annual WeMedia event in Miami — and I assure you, it is going to be an incredible, must-attend event. I strongly suggest you join us.
I can prove it to you. I am going to use this space on the blog each day to highlight one element of this year’s WeMedia. Every day, I’ll introduce you to one of our attendees, highlight a workshop, or preview a paper we are releasing. Keep reading, I’ll tell you about Pitch It. If you can’t find a reason to attend in this list, something that will benefit your work, or change your life, I’m thinking the problem might be on your end.
First, some background… We Media is part summit, part workshop, part symposium, part how-to seminar, part innovators’ brain-share and meet-up, and part showcase for game-changing projects and ideas. It is the one place where change-makers from all sectors exchange knowledge, stimulate creativity, and breed innovation. No boring panels. No self-promotional drivel. Just smart people, gathering together, sharing ideas, and changing the world. If you are charged with transforming your business or organization, it is the essential gathering for launching change.
Trust me, you want to be a part of this event — register.
Still not convinced? What if I told you that you would hear start-ups pitch and test new concepts and new models to business-tested executives, social entrepreneurs, investors and practitioners, with the best ideas in the commercial and social/nonprofit categories each walking away with $25,000 each? That’s our Pitch-It competition. We are pouring through 350 entries from entrants in 47 countries and will soon announce 16 finalists — 8 with a commercial focus, and 8 with a non-profit/social focus. The next killer app might be in this group. A much needed, world-changing innovation will start with one of these presentations. The future of news is represented in the room.
Are you going to risk missing that? I hope not – you know, for your sake. Register today.
