Yes, many times. Did you go this year?

Just looked it up: looks cool, but do they have agency voices/speakers, or is it all brands with agencies left out? Basically: is it worthwhile for biz dev or just education?

I’ve made solid connections there the last couple of years.. if you’re into using events as a BD tool its for sure worth it.. plus it’s just a way different experience than other conferences /summits.

Started wearing a support belt per my doctors recommendation because I’ve been having pelvic pain. Wore it for the first time today and this baby will not stop moving.

I don’t want to have comfort if it’s causing discomfort on my baby. Anyone experienced this?

I work at a large, global software company, and am looking to make a move to a more collaborative environment with better culture. I’ve been offered a more senior position at a smaller North American company in the crypto space where I know I will learn a lot, but I’m worried it might hurt my overall career trajectory. Eventually I plan on moving internationally. When it comes to searching for a new position, does company size/reputation matter more than the experience you have at the company?

So I'm at an agency and 80%+ of my time is new business. Pitch, win, set-up/semi-service until we get hires, move on to next pitch etc. (w/ fair share of losses too, of course). But I'm burned out. And while I'm valued, I don't see a return on my investments: personal time, my heart (I'm all in) and professional development. I get rewarded with small spot bonuses sometimes, but not a commission. So do I try to pivot to a real bus dev position? I feel confident I could. Anyone seen this done?
