The 2015 Fastlane Meetup Pre-Plan Discussion (formerly B&P)

[FionaS]

I've figured out how to pay for tickets and everything. Got it all set aside in the budget already. This is not something I want to miss.

I'll have my finger on the trigger as soon as those tickets go on sale. I remember how fast they sold out last year.

And if I don't get a ticket.... I will practice my ninja and stealth skills the next couple months so that I can sneak in.

Eskil, thanks friend.

Just sent in a sample of the Power Point I am going to use at the presentation if picked. Since I am using it for another presentation at a local university, it should be well polished come Feb.

It's one I have been working on and still fleshing out, so hopefully Red and MJ like it enough to let me present to the Meetup too.

I'm looking forward to this! I've never been, but have heard great things. I'm trying to convince my business partner to go as well.

A few more presentation submissions have come through. Thank you guys.

 

[Tiago]

Do you have a rough estimate on when the tickets will be for sale?

 

[Windsurfer]

I would love to come down during February from the Minnesota winter. I have received some favorable reviews on the forums from my experience in the corporate world as a supply chain director for companies as big as $77 Billion. I can provide some ideas on how to source products, negotiate discounts on the products, and incentivize suppliers to provide good quality and deliver on time.

Or I can just sit back and absorb all the great information provided by speakers much better than me (along with absorbing some great sunshine). Either way, I can't wait.

Folks who are interested in tickets I would highly suggest "Watching" the thread with instant email notification.

Any way I can just reserve a ticket for my wife and I now?

Don't see a reason to wait if I can just buy immediately.

 

[nausbot]

Penciling it into the calendar... keeping an eye for ticket sales...

 

[Morethan1]

The networking alone will pay for the ticket.

How do we get on email list to be notified when tickets go on sale

 

[Twiizlar]

Is there anyway the speakers and presentations can be streamed or recorded? Or does that take away from the meetup?

I'm not sure what the organizers for this coming meetup will decide but I will say that some (if not most) presenters may not want their presentations broadcasted or recorded because of the sensitive content in their presentations. In meetups past we've recorded presentations but presenters had the option to not be recorded. Any recordings were only made available to those that attended live.

I for one would love to see you do a presentation on supplier negotiations and incentives. You are more than qualified

Like Allen said, recordings are usually made of the presenters who are ok with it. But they're only made available to those who attended, and I think it's best that way. Once you make streams or recordings freely available from something like this, it kinda loses some of its value for those that pay to attend (although the networking is still priceless) - so there will be just too many people who figure they can skip attending.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Guys if you want to present, please submit your generalized outline by OCTOBER 1st, 2014. And of course, if you are selected you are guaranteed a ticket.

If chosen I would not want my talk recorded.

No presentation will be recorded unless specifically requested.

Haven't been active on here, but I'm in for ticket sale date.

 

[Bill Crane]

This event sounds great. Those tickets could be a land rush sale. ...wait for the cannon shot...

I'm in SoCal, if anyone is interested in carpooling pm me, the more the merrier.

Mapquest estimate drive from Orange County CA to Scottsdale AZ is ~377miles or 6 hours. I have no problem going faster!

 

[biophase]

Talking Stick is a great venue to move this too. You got everything that you need in one place!

 

[biophase]

I will definitely attend, assuming we'll all be back from Kili by then!

On the fence about speaking. Depends on how well the next few months of my relaunch go . . .

Jill, this will depend on if we do an add on afterwards and also if it's on the 20th or 27th week.

With so many amazing people on here, full of so much knowledge and experience - it's gonna be hard to top the level of some of these.
What would you guys like to see me do a presentation on?

1. Sales: Why your conversion rate sucks and what you can do to change it
2. Product development: Taking an idea from garage prototype - to mass market production
3. Product development: Taking a (healthy, not shady) slice of the massive supplements market pie
4. Marketing / PR: What I did to raise $123,000 on Kickstarter
5. Ecommerce: What affiliates want, how they can really increase your earnings, and why you should care

Other things I could talk about are Amazon / FBA stuff, getting the most out of paid traffic (Adwords, Facebook, media buys), or - what you should know to increase your sales with professional looking label and packaging design (and no you don't have to become an artist/designer - just understand what you should be telling your designer to do / not to do from a business perspective).

 

[AllenCrawley]

So to clarify for those interested in speaking, we are "competing" for one of 12-15 available speaking slots?

Perhaps you should extend it by a day and give Eskil a day to himself! That's a freakin impressive selection of topics!

Yessir! And for the subsequent 50% off ticket. Everyone is welcome to submit. We'll be deciding on the speakers in the beginning of October.
