No Longer Virtual - Leverage Your Network

What are your biggest frustrations with your online network? You know the benefits, you know you feel close to your network, but what is the limit you're finding with these incredible relationships?

For me, it has always been the question of how to leverage those relationships to improve my offline life. I feel so close to my online network, and I know how they improve my life generally, but how do I take these relationships to the next level, improving my business and my bottom line?

Here are some reasons to register for the No Longer Virtual conference coming up on February 21, 22, 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia:

5) Atlanta, Georgia in February - The Intercontinental at Buckhead

Atlanta is one fabulous place to spend a little time in the middle of winter. Coming from Montana, I'm looking forward to spending a few days in a warmer climate, with great restaurants and easy public transportation. And the hotel? Just - wow.

They're pulling out all the stops for our group, and you'll love the less traditional meeting space and delicious food. Plus, you can get almost anywhere in the region on public transportation, including the Botanical Garden, World of Coca Cola, and the world famous aquarium. The hotel is offering our screaming room price of $169/night for a couple of nights before and after our event, so you can stay and explore over the weekend!

4) Entrepreneurial Development - For Everyone

This agenda is balanced with solid, strategic topics to improve your business and topics to improve your overall wellbeing. You'll meet and learn from people who excel in their work, face-to-face. Check out the agenda to see some of your favorite LinkedIn faces! And because of the strength of the agenda, you are unlikely to experience the "after-conference hangover" of other conferences.

3) No Keynotes, No Awkward "Networking", No Over-filled Conference Rooms

Why no keynotes? Because everyone in the room has something to contribute to every topic. Sessions are designed for interaction, to leverage the experience and insights in the room. No Longer Virtual uses the side-conversations and after-hours connections and makes them the foundation of the experience. With a registration limit of 50 participants*, you can expect real value in content and interaction. As a good friend wisely noted, there's a difference between networking and building a network.

*Only 22 spots left as of October 1st!

2) Face-to-Face Meeting with Your Favorite LinkedIn Connections

There's a reason LinkedIn Local has become a global phenomenon. People want to meet face-to-face and build relationships beyond the keyboard. This is your opportunity to not only meet some of your favorite LinkedIn connections face-to-face, and get to know them as people, but to learn from and with them over the course of two days. There is no better way to explore where a relationship can take you and your business than to meet face-to-face. Participants and facilitators from 2017 and 2018 events are still talking about their experiences, and many have already registered to return in 2019 - what better testament is that?

The number 1 reason to attend #NLVAtlanta2019...

1) Surrounded by Curious, Perceptive, Honest, Generous, Intelligent People

You've heard the old saying that you are the combination of the 5 people you spend the most time with, right? Well this takes that saying far beyond just 5 people.

How often do you surround yourself with people who genuinely care about each other and their success? The people participating in NLV aren't there to sell you anything; they're part of something much bigger than themselves, and they embrace it. This will be one of the most inspiring events you've ever experienced, not because of the outstanding content being delivered, but because of the people in the room.
