BizCom 2022 Marketing Conference

BizCom 2022 Marketing Conference 1

Spread the love.

BizCom 2022, our fifth annual marketing conference for all creatives, was a blast!

From food to education, drinks to conversations, breakout rooms to networking, our night was unforgettable. We got the chance to learn from some of the savviest brands, influencers, leadership coaches, and online marketing geniuses – nationwide.

And here’s a little recap of all that went on.

If you’re wondering what BizCom is all about, alongside Alta Events, we started putting on these marketing conferences five years ago after one too many “can I pick your brain?” coffee dates.

A lot of these questions were all marketing related. How do you start a blog?

Who did you hire for branding, how do you charge, invoice, processes and more. We are an open book and are always happy to share any knowledge that we have.

And if we can help just one business owner not bang their head on a table for so many years like we did, it makes my heart so happy. So we started small by putting on mini-workshops in our office.

Which quickly led to putting on a larger-scale marketing conference once a year with different breakout sessions. It’s hard to put into words how powerful this night is.

The connections, our community, and the new knowledge shared and learned from all, it’s an unforgettable night. It starts with complimentary food and drinks at 4:00 and then leads into a handful of different breakout sessions and ends with a panel.

And here’s what went down this year.

All the way from CA, Catherine Fitzgerald was our third breakout speaker. During this session, Catherine spoke on “Bridge to Accountability: Empowering Your Team”.

In this session, we learned to discover how to develop a business that fuels your life rather than consumes it.

Huge shoutout to our emcee of the night, Kelly from The How Gal, for kicking off the night and keeping everyone informed throughout. What’s funny is I met Kelly from going to an event the week before and she was there emcee.

In the past we never had one at BizCom, and after going to that event I realized we needed one! I walked up to her at the event and said – what are the chances you are available next Thursday. Ha!

And what a blessing because it was the only night she was in fact free. Being tenacious and just asking was one of my goals for all of 2022, and it paid off.

More about Kelly – from meager beginnings, with zero connections and with very limited business acumen, Kelly excelled at her first sales job and ended up as its #1 producer in less than 6 months.

Achieving the top spot in every organization she has been employed in eventually pointed her and her internal compass in the direction of forming her own business entity, Kelly Enterprises International.

The night concluded with a panel discussion on business growth. The panel featured Katie Kath, Jordyn DiOrio, Tyler Grace, Gregory Lasker, Mercedes Austin and was moderated by Brad Leavitt.

This was a great chance to learn from the best on how they all took their businesses to the next level and stayed grounded to the “why” along the way.
