Announced Nov. 4, 2019 by Armin No Comments on 2019 Brand New Conference: Summary, Sights, and Videos
Here is this year’s breakdown of the 16 sessions of the 2019 Brand New Conference that took place this past October 17 – 18 in Las Vegas, NV, and which was awesome. (If you are looking at this in an RSS reader head on over to the real thing, too much heavy formatting). This is a very long post with a photo of each speaker, very brief summaries, and a preview of their video/session, so give it a good time to load. A few other things worth bullet-pointing:
- Videos for purchase are now available.
- A lot more photos from the event have been posted in this Flickr album.
- Registration is now open for the 2020 Brand New Conference in Austin, TX on October 22 – 23.
- Next week, most likely, I will post this year’s identity materials.
