Because social media is, you know, such a shiny new object, or at least it was at that point.

And started the Agents of Change Digital Marketing Conference, ran that for three years, and now we're about to launch our fourth.

And I am so stoked that you're coming back for another go-round.

So thank you.

Thank you very much for lending us your expertise.

Dave Kirpin is coming.

That's one of them.

All right.

And so there's so many different ways of running a successful event.

And so one of my things that I tell people is start small.

Get an understanding of what you're looking to do.

And there are some very specific things that you need to do.

And obviously, you need to have a physical space.

you know, this is not social media where you can just jump on the newsfeed.

This is, you do need to have a physical space.

Now, if you've never put on an event, there's probably some places around you that you can rent for a lot cheaper.

For example, we have this beautiful facility we use at the University of Southern Maine.

It's an amazing campus and they've got this great building and within the building, they've got this gorgeous theater and that's where we put on the conference, uh,

This whole time.

And it's significantly less expensive.
