We travel dozens, hundreds, or thousands of miles to network, collaborate and build better online publishing businesses together
Some of the most gratifying experiences people take away from a conference are the lessons we learn from our peers.
We take notes in sessions, but the real-talk often comes in the form of a cocktail party during the event, or post-conference dinner with some new faces.
We have some pretty funny stories of life-long friendships that were built over a few bottles of wine during a Mequoda Summit, but we also have stories of businesses that have since collaborated and built mutually beneficial businesses relationships.
An ongoing theme that we’ve had—possibly unknowingly—at the Mequoda Summit since the beginning is that it’s really an intense collaboration of publishers. By the end of the event, we have a room full of publishers who are totally in sync with each other and headed in the same direction.
Possible competitors become partners, and those that are still only peeking into online publishing are now surrounded with those who have the same worries and questions.
It’s really quite harmonious. Everyone gets excited together.
Don often says that “success online is often defined by what media organizations choose not to do.” No organization will succeed online if they don’t focus on a targeted amount of content generation, audience building and revenue models and master them before adding more complexity to their online business system.
What we’ve done with the Mequoda Summit, is put together an intense workshop that dives into every aspect of your online business. It’s not an SEO conference, it’s not a social media conference and it’s not an email marketing conference.
It’s all of these things. We cover each and every one of those topics, plus many more. What’s special about the online publishing industry is that we’re both huge and small at the same time.
We’re huge in content, and tend to be very small in structure.
At many small publishing enterprises, a single individual can wear the hats of researcher, writer, editor, publisher, and audience development manager. Or the people with each of those jobs can be operating from a different geographic location.
The Mequoda Summit enables all publishing professionals, regardless of job title or company size, to have two days to talk, listen and generally share ideas and experiences…in person…in a world class hotel…in a modern U.S. city.
I’m told that many large-company CEOs feel isolated from their peers and other colleagues, just as some small company principals do.
The Mequoda Summit is the cure for loneliness of the isolated publishing professional at every level of responsibility. The professional camaraderie and “shop talk” we experience at the Mequoda Summit is unsurpassed.
There is nothing that compares to interacting with 75 other publishing professionals who do the same work…with the same enthusiasm!
So take a few minutes to download the Mequoda Summit Brochure. If you have any questions about the sessions, or have topic suggestions, contact and let us know.
And not to rush you, but we have an early-bird deadline coming up soon. Right now if you register, you’ll only pay $897 per attendee. Even better, if you register more than one person (which is what most companies have done), you’ll only pay $797 per attendee.
The price is locked in, so if your schedule changes and you need to cancel, that’s fine. But the early-bird price has an expiration date, and we encourage you to take advantage of it!
