To go, or not to go
Are conferences worth it? As with most questions in life and business, the answer is probably, "It depends." Like me, most of you reading this will be at Innovate West this week, and for the most part, we'll all get some value out of it. But for an ambitious founder working in a niche market, sometimes catch-all tech conferences aren't the best place to spend your time; back-to-back panel sessions and infinite networking receptions are not the ideal environment to get "real work" done.
So what should you be spending your time on – and where? That question and many more will be answered in two weeks at entrepreneurship@UBC (Robson Square) when they host: Scale smarter: Strategies, tools and tips to help founders get sh*t done.
And guess what, you're invited to join the following executives for a deep discussion on how to do more with the time that you have.
- Charlie Grinnell, co-chief executive officer, RightMetric; former global social media manager, sports, Red Bull Media House
- Kate Bouchard, founder and CEO, Loba; principal, Armature Collective
- Jonathan Becker, founder and president, Thrive Digital; general partner, Occasional Ventures
- Olivia Lovenmark-Hay, founder and CEO, Coupe Beverages (Duchess Cocktails); co-founder and CEO, Repose`
We'll cover how they manage multiple businesses, clients, family, and friends; specific tools and applications to help keep your work and life in order; and strategies for effective delegation, and considerations when outsourcing tasks, and more.

By the way, we're still looking for two small sponsors to help with catering. If getting in front of 80 founders is something you want for your B2B business, just reply and I'll get you more information.
