It may seem like every time you check your email, you find another promotion for another virtual conference or webinar. That’s a good thing. The more you take advantage of the expertise and education available to you, the more informed your business and career decisions will be.
But sometimes, it seems like the same people are called upon to share their expertise. That’s because these speakers not only know what they are talking about, but they also are givers who want to help the industry. We need these people.
But when you see a new face and a new name, your heart does a little leap—or at least mine does. That’s because I crave some new perspectives along with the perspectives of those experts I already trust.
If you are like me and your heart needs a leap or two, you’ll find it when you check out the speakers we have at our Future of Fitness virtual event, which is set for March 9-10. It’s loaded with new people you may never have heard speak at other industry events or webinars, including:
- Felicia Alexander, chief revenue officer, TITLE Boxing Club, and co-founder and president, BoxUnion Studio
