Do we need another WordPress conference?
How Josh Broton (along with co-founder Kiko Doran) came up with the the idea for Prestige Conference might suprise you.
After speaking 20 conferences over the last year, Josh noticed a trend. He was bad at selecting good sessions at conferences, especially inexpensive, multi- track tech conferences. To solve that problem, the idea for Prestige conference was born. Two primary issues were addressed in the planning of Prestige conference:
The first Prestige conference “A premium interactive business and career development conference” is happening in October, 2014 but more locations and dates are already in the formulation stage. All of the speakers for the October 2014 conference are leaders in the WordPress community.
Josh’s professional development experience at Lemon.ly has parallels to his experience working on Prestige Conference. At Lemon.ly Josh Broton has been involved in creating solutions to in-house problems and refining those solutions into product offerings. Even if the product offering does not catch on in the open market, it still can have value internally.
Listen to this interview hear how to estimate a time budget if you are thinking about creating a new event to connect members of a new or established community.
