Conferences can be game-changers for your visibility, but only if you know how to prepare. In this episode of Social Media Decoded, host Michelle Thames pulls back the curtain on her process for getting the most out of events like Bloom and Grow Live in Nashville.

Michelle walks you through her pre-event prep — from clarifying goals, crafting an elevator pitch, planning your content capture, and creating a follow-up strategy — so you can leave your next conference with real momentum instead of missed opportunities.

Plus, she shares why live events like Elevate & Empower LIVE in November are where faith and strategy collide, and why being in the room is the fastest way to grow your authority and income.

  • Why attending conferences accelerates your visibility
  • The 4 steps Michelle uses to prep for every conference
