Hosting Your Own Conference
Skills Learned: Event Planning, Marketing, Curation
About the Class
Do you watch TEDtalks, 99% or Feast talks on your computer all the time? Do you ever attend conferences and wonder how to put your own together? Come learn the secret of pulling off your conference on an extremely low budget.
We'll go over curating the conference (most important part) to booking speakers, marketing the event, and selling out! We started The Feast Conference on a $5,000 budget and grew it to a sold-out audience of 400+ folks at The Times Center in less than 3 years. You can watch the Livestream here: http://www.livestream.com/alldaybuffet, which received nearly 700K viewer minutes.
Even if you don't want to put together a huge conference, you'll learn some tips and tricks in pulling off successful events: conferences, workshops, salons, parties, etc.
Class Format: This class will be a short 20-minute lecture followed by 30 minutes of Q&A.
Note: All proceeds will be donated to The Feast Conference, which gathers the world's greatest innovators from across industries and society to empower, inspire and engage each other in creating world-shaking change.
This class is part of the "School of Social Good" semester hosted by The Feast. Skillshare is also awarding $1,000 in scholarships for students. Learn more about getting a Skillshare scholarship.
