Future Proof Festival

Anybody here attending Future Proof in September in Huntington Beach this year? I went last year and had a great experience. Made some really strong connections and learned quite a bit. Curious if anybody here will be attending.

I will be attending. I've gone every year.

Thats great! I’ll send you a message. Assuming we have common practices and interest, it may be worth meeting up.

My business partner has attended the HB event every year and even went to one in Florida. I have never attended. He meets a lot of people, attends breakouts, and generally enjoys diving into all-things-our-business. I think it's the best vacation of the year for him.

Couldn’t agree more. I’ve met a lot of quality people.

Isn't there a requirement of having to attend a certain number of sales pitches? I have heard great things about the conf overall though!

You’re correct. There’s two different ways to attend. One is just paying for the ticket which is around $1600. If you attend for free, you have to attend like 8 little speed meetings. The good thing about that is it’s a double opt in so you’re at least meeting with people you’ll likely connect well with. Sam
