The Logistics of Running an Online Conference

We just wrapped up our fifth annual Immersion Live conference, and while it's all really fresh in our minds, I wanted to package it up for you and let you know all the different things that we did to make this event come alive. In this episode, I’ll be diving into all the logistics that go into producing our annual online conference—from what it looked like in the beginning to what it looks like today, five years later. I’ll take you through what goes into running a conference like this and even share the revenue and expenses for this year’s conference so you can understand what all goes into running an event like this. Though an event like this can have many moving parts, it can actually be quite simple if you want it to be.

"As long as it makes this kind of connection 

this kind of impact, 

we will always do this."

Review of the week:

Legit artist who tells you how much she makes!

Bonnie wants you to succeed and she gives you all the nitty gritty plus doses of inspiration. No one really states how much they earn but Bonnie is transparent. Not that income is everything. But when you get the facts it builds trust. Bravo for your bravery Bonnie.
