Strategies to Hosting Your Own Conference or Workshop

Listen to this episode: play the audio

Ever thought about putting your own event? It's a lot of work, but the rewards can be ever so satisfying. I've hosted at least 50 workshops, seminars, mastermind meetings, and conferences with as little as 4 other people to over a hundred. On this episode I discussed what's worked, what's flopped, and little tricks we've learned throughout the years that have made a difference for a successful event.

And speaking of events, we have a few seats leftfor next week BootcampMD - the online business workshop for smart physicians.
