The Snowcial Conference, the main formal event at the 4 day long networking session at Lake Tahoe, is only half a day long. It’s a tight, quick conference where you get the chance to hear key players in travel and tourism and snowsports marketing break it down without a lot of fluff. Then we all go out to dinner together, see Hammer together and the next day, shred Heavenly together building conversations and relationships from the foundation of the Snowcial Conference.
Pete Blackshaw Presenting @ Snowcial 2010
Well, this year we’re adding to that foundation with 6 more speakers. But we’re bringing them in a novel format.
Snowcial Lightning Round
In the tradition of the events like Ignite, Snowcial is presenting a short session where 6 speakers will present their take on Snowsports, marketing, and/or social media in just 5 minutes each…
Since we think the Ignite format does the best job of condensing a presentation down to just the essential, we’re going to parallel that format. Our six Snowcial Lightning Round speakers will have only 5 minutes to present 20 slides and accompanying talking points.
This is a much more challenging and powerful format than you would think if you haven’t experienced it, but we’ve picked a group of people to kick off this Snowcial tradition that we’re sure will impress and entertain.
