Hey Rick,
This will be my first time going to NMX (or any conference…) as my partner Dan and I just kicked off our podcast Entrepreneur Showdown. We’re not sure what to expect but have heard it’s the best conference out there and to meet other content creators.
How do you get the most value out of the conference?
Stoked for it!
Cheers!
Hey Joe, while Rick is writing up his reply, let me share a few tips that I have about getting the most out of NMX.
First, go to the show with a plan. I know a lot of people “wing it” but that’s a good way to get caught up talking to someone in the hall and miss the session most relevant to you (or vice versus, get so caught up in going to sessions that you miss out on networking opportunities). I like to plan out a fully packed schedule for myself, knowing that I’m going to need to be flexible when I actually get to the show. I wrote a little more about schedules here: https://www.blogworld.com/2011/04/25/how-schedules-make-blogworld-better/
Next, I highly recommend planning some time on the show floor. I’m always flabbergasted when people say they never made it to the expo hall. I do understand that the sessions and networking are hugely important, but I’ve made a TON of business deals and learned about life-changing tools/services by visiting booths in the expo hall. Definitely don’t miss it. (I wrote about that in more detail here: https://www.blogworld.com/2013/03/14/how-the-nmx-show-floor-can-change-your-life/)
Finally, check out these posts for even more awesome tips about preparing for and attending our conference:

Hope that helps!!
That’s a great question Joe! I will have a long reply for you before the weekend is over.
