Sorting Out the Best Conferences for Entrepreneurs
Aug 15th
As an entrepreneur in a tough economic climate, you want to find every possible advantage. Business conferences have become popular destinations for the minds behind startup companies and projects. Conferences are an excellent way to network, communicating with possible customers, partners, and investors. Attending a conference can also help you get a new project started by discussing innovative ideas and finding sources of funding.
Raising capital for a startup business is never easy, but business conferences are one of the best places to find support. All this is in addition to the knowledge gained from the conference speakers and workshops. Entrepreneurs can learn a lot from people who have been there before, so you should try to be there whenever flourishing and aspiring entrepreneurs are in the same place together.
TiECon
Let’s start at the top with TiECon, which hosts the largest professional conference for entrepreneurs. Its sheer size is a significant advantage because TiECon draws in the big names and the top speakers in addition to providing the most opportunity for networking. The conference and the related innovation expo bring in hundreds of investors, making it a great place to find some funding for your great idea.
The speakers and workshops offer tons of useful information specific to your interests and needs. The cost of attending may seem prohibitive if you’re just starting out and low on funds, but you know exactly what you’re paying for with TiECon. The great thing about attending this type of conference is that you have a big opportunity to make up the cost of admission and much more. When a conference brings together creative minds and gets innovative projects off the ground, everyone wins.
Arizona Entrepreneurship Conference
Of course, the size of a huge conference can be a disadvantage as well. With such a variety of attendees, it can be difficult to find the type of people you’re looking for. If you want to meet entrepreneurs from your area, try a local conference like the Arizona Entrepreneurship Conference. You may have more success making good contacts with people who live nearby and the conference’s information will be tailored to local issues. Make your state a stronger center for business by attending a local conference for entrepreneurs.
Social Enterprise Conference
You can also narrow your focus by seeking conferences for particular types of entrepreneurship. For example, if you are interested in applying entrepreneurial principles to social issues, keep an eye on conferences focused in that field. Remember that the best conferences in your field of interest are worth waiting for. Harvard runs another excellent social enterprise conference.
Web Conferences
The internet has broadened the way that people attend conferences. If you cannot take several days off to attend a conference or if the travel is unappealing, consider giving web conferencing a try. Technology allows us to give lectures, attend training events, and view presentations remotely. Web conferencing is appealing because it involves only a small commitment of time and money. On the other hand, it is much more difficult to successfully network with a web conference. Oftentimes, information will be traveling one way without a great deal of interaction between audience members. For more information, see the Entrepreneur.
A frequently seen term related to web conferencing is webinar. A webinar is a web conference on a much smaller scale, such as a single presentation or workshop. Webinars typically involve little interaction, but they’re a quick and painless way to get useful information. If you are up to the task, you can also give your own webinar using webinar software to establish and market your ideas. Find out how a webinar can help your business succeed here.
National CEO Conference
Just as some conferences are can’t-miss events, others are better off avoided. First, do your research on a conference to make sure that it has information and people you want to see. A conference may seem promising until you read that it is focused on overseas business. You are putting time and money into attending, so make sure you are investing in the right conference. You also need to think about the intended audience for the seminar or conference under consideration. The National CEO Conference may be an excellent learning experience for young entrepreneurs, but may not have much to offer older or more experienced attendees.
The best tip boils down to getting your money’s worth. Skip conferences that require membership to a committee or club unless you plan on using that membership frequently in the future. Likewise, watch out for conferences that have considerable fees attached unless you are blown away by the speakers and workshops that are paid for with that money. Even a great conference must be worth the expense you put into it. This event looks great if you live around St. Louis, but you wouldn’t want to drive far for such a short conference. Perform the research needed to find the right conferences for your business. A good conference will jumpstart your ideas and help you with the networking that any growing company needs.

How to Track Conferences Virtually
Mar 22nd
The web conference circuit is increasingly crowded and covers a wide range of topics. Unless you’re Robert Scoble, you probably don’t get to attend all of the events that you’d like. Even with the events you do attend, you likely won’t see all of the sessions you’d planned to (cough, SXSW!). Fortunately, there are a number of web services and sites which give you access to much of the content of a conference, whether you attend or not.
I went to SXSW in Austin this month, but once again I struggled to attend as many panels and sessions as I’d wanted to. So I decided to use the Web to find out what I missed, content wise, at SXSW. Here’s what I found.
Sponsor
One of the best conference coverage services is Lanyrd, which describes itself as a "social conference directory." Lanyrd features a conference coverage aggregator, which pulls together notes, posts, slideshows, audio and more for events like SXSW. The SXSW 2011 page for Lanyrd has, at time of writing, 81 slide decks, 28 write-ups, 17 videos, and more. It’s by no means a comprehensive list of content for SXSW, but it’s certainly a good place to start looking.
Presentations, Notes & Write-ups
To track presentations, Slideshare is a great place to go. Most (if not all) of the slideshows linked by Lanyrd came from Slideshare.
One of the most compelling features of this year’s SXSW sessions was the live cartooning done by digital agency Ogilvy. On its Ogilvy Notes web site, all of the "visual notes" from SXSWi have been collected at one place. It’d be wonderful if visual notes became commonplace at conferences, as they’re a handy way to get a quick summary of a panel or keynote.
Here’s a visual note from a session I went to at SXSW, Jeffrey Zeldman’s Awesome Design Panel:
For write-ups of sessions, you can’t go past a good ol’ Google search. I searched for "Zeldman panel SXSW 2011" and found this great summary by Guardian staffer Paul MacInnes, on a special Tumblr blog. Indeed the Guardian had stellar coverage from SXSW, with a posse of Tumblr blogs tracking the event. See also ReadWriteWeb’s coverage from SXSW.
Audio & Video
Conferences these days often record panels and (if we’re lucky) put up the audio on their websites, either during the event or after. Many of the SXSW sessions were recorded and are available as audio on the official SXSW website. For example, here is the full audio from Zeldman’s session. The audio player unfortunately doesn’t have a download option.
A suggestion for large conference organizers: create podcasts for each stream, so that people can subscribe to them. I’d love to subscribe to a ‘media’ podcast from SXSW, so I can hear media-focused panels at my leisure on my iPod.
Video from SXSW is scattered all around the Web. There are specialist video programs, like WebBeat.tv – who interviewed me during the event. SXSW has a YouTube channel, but there’s not much coverage on it. Fortunately for me, there is some video of one panel that I wanted to see but couldn’t: Rebooting Iceland: Crowdsourcing Innovation in Uncertain Times. But generally, you’ll have to search the Web and hope that someone took video of the session you’re after.
Social Media Coverage
Finally, of course, there is social media coverage from conferences. Twitter and Facebook are great tools to use during the event, but even after the event you can review conferences using services like Storify. ReadWriteWeb’s Community Manager Seamus Condron did a virtual scrapbook of SXSW, using Storify. It pulled together coverage from Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and other social services.
Overall, tracking conference coverage from afar or after the event isn’t a one-stop shop experience. Lanyrd is the closest it comes to having one online destination, but you’ll likely want to get your Google search on to compliment that.
Let us know in the comments if you have found other ways to get at the meat of conferences, virtually.
