The speaking proposal process for the 2025 SXSW Conference launches on Tuesday, June 25 and extends through the end of the day on Sunday, July 21. As in previous years, the PanelPicker interface facilitates all speaking proposals. This interface empowers anyone in the community (i.e., anyone online) to enter an idea for next year's Conference -- which reflects our ongoing commitment to showcasing new / up-and-coming / often under-represented voices at SXSW. panelpicker.sxsw.com/about Learn how you can create a successful PanelPicker proposal by attending a special summer edition of Tacos & Topics at 8 am CT on Thursday, June 27 at the SXSW offices at 1400 Lavaca in Austin. https://lnkd.in/gWFnVabS If you can't be in Austin to attend that event, then perhaps the PanelPicker Best Practices / AMA at 11 am CT on Thursday, June 27 will work better for you. This PanelPicker Best Practices / AMA on June 27 is a virtual event. https://lnkd.in/gTy_cwnr Or get your questions answered at one of our PanelPicker Office Hours event.

"I am looking for funding because I have 30K people waiting for my app" is a lot more compelling to an investor than "I need money to market my idea." But most founders don't know HOW to market their company or that they NEED to market their company before they start talking to investors. That's what Lorri, the Marketing Advisor here at UCS Advisors, is here for. There are SO MANY ways to grow your community ORGANICALLY before seeking funding, making you even MORE appealing to investors. Having a network of raving fans shows investors you're serious about building and that TRACTION captures their attention. She's running three webinars this week on building your network to 5K raving fans who either do business with you or refer business to you. You'll have action items to implement RIGHT AWAY to get the right message in front of the right people. Make sure to sign up for one of the times and start building TRACTION this WEEK! #capitalraising #fundingjourney #communitybuilding #networking https://lnkd.in/exhaadgU

Do you know the feeling of being ENERGISED by talking to A-players? Our first launchpad Community event on Saturday was *that feeling* 👉 For context: launchpad is a 0-1 community for non-technical future founders When I started LP, I had clear 2 goals in mind: 1) Opportunity to up-skill 2) Tight-knit group of extraordinary creatives And not to brag - BUT I DID EXACTLY THAT For 1) we had a killer speaker with plenty of founding experience, thanks James Mishreki for sharing your time & wisdom with us 💡 Tip: Our events are only once a month with a killer guest (announcements coming soon), we value quality over quality And 2) is all thanks to our members Sol Hyde, Nick Ratnarajah, Maya Mehan, Gregory Hartley, Charlie L., Sumriddhi Mittal, Jasper Fowler, Randy Forson, Taras Kovtun, Mikolaj Uchman 💡 Tip: we screened called every current member, and rejected 35% of applicants 💡Tip: our events are max 10 people, even though community is larger, with the goal to create a freeflowing discussion Future wise: we have a MEGA exciting (members-only) event in August, 🔜 more on that To attend our events, join our membership waitlist: https://lnkd.in/dPZtci-Z
