3 GREAT REASONS ENTREPRENEURS SHOULD ATTEND STARTUP GRIND GLOBAL CONFERENCE 2017

​What is Startup Grind?

Startup Grind is a global community of over 400,000 entrepreneurs. It is powered by Google for Entrepreneurs, and is active across 200 cities in 98 countries around the world. Startup’s values are to Give First, Make Friends and Help Others. Their entrepreneurial membership benefits by learning from the best, sharing what works, and acting as a mastermind community, par excellence.

This year's Startup Grind Global Conference is February 21 - 22 at Fox Theater, Redwood City, California.  I'm going, are you?

If you're undecided on if the conference is right for you, here's 3 reasons you should be there:

1. You will enhance your brand.

 You will spend two full days, plus a last-night party, mixing with sponsors, investors, fellow entrepreneurs, exhibitors and potential customers. More than 200 potential investors will be there, and there will be 200+ exhibitors. There will also be 100 Startup Grind Directors, 5,000 global founders attending, and all of the conference sponsors giving away all kinds of free stuff.

Sponsors, speakers, exhibitors and attendees all mix with each other, so the networking opportunities are amazing. At last year's conference, $1.5 million of investment was offered to entrepreneurs just via networking at the event, I wonder what that number was from after the event.

Whether you go to find new partners, investors or customers, you will expose your brand to your market. You may get the chance to give a "Startup Pitch" on the main stage because you are one of the lucky ones selected. In any event, you will, then, be able to use everything you learn to enhance your brand even more, after you return home. 

Oh, and if you miss the conference, join our meetup groups in LA, SF, Denver, and more here. We host monthly pitch battles if pitching is your thing right now.

2. You Will Gain Powerful Insights. The keynote speeches and fireside chats cover many essential areas for entrepreneurs. Last year's agenda included, for example:

• Entrepreneurial mistakes to avoid
• The next era of entrepreneurship
• Building a 3-sided marketplace
• Creating a continuous reinvention culture in your business
• Tools for creation
• What's working and what's not
  
  

This year's agenda is even more powerful.  Learn more here.

3. You get the chance to become a Startup Program member. Program members get increased visibility with their own demo table, guest blog opportunities, IBM Cloud credits and much more.

Final Note

The Conference is a one-of-kind opportunity for entrepreneurs to learn, partner, pitch and find new investors. February 21, 2017 is not far away, so if you want to propel your brand forward, this is for you.
