Business events are a great way to learn and network. You learn from the “main stage” and break-out sessions and you learn from networking and the “hallway” talk as well. Here’s a curated list of some events that every business owner should consider attending. Many of these are events I have personally attended.
Keep in mind there are thousands and thousands of events that are smaller, free and/or low cost tickets. The size of the event does not indicate how impactful it might be. You might attend a smaller event and learn MORE or make a better connection than attending a larger event.
Also keep in mind that many brands host user conferences – Salesforce Dreamforce, Zoho Zoholics, Snappy Kraken Jolt! and many more. Furthermore, many local chambers and business associations host amazingly powerful events, as well.
As an entrepreneur, staying informed and up-to-date with the latest trends in your industry is critical for maintaining a competitive edge and growing your business. Attending conferences and events is an excellent way to network with like-minded professionals, get inspired by keynote speakers, and learn about the most innovative solutions and tools available. However, with so many events to choose from, it can be challenging to decide which ones are worth your time and money.
