Who’s ready for Advisory Amplified? Which city did you choose? I’m so ready for the Minneapolis stop on September 29! Introverts: This might be the perfect event for you! Intimate events are my favorite. I feel like I’m able to have real conversations with people. I can catch up with friends and still have time to meet people! To me, the real ROI of attending conferences is connection. Spending time with people in my human operating system fills my cup and making new connections lights me up. Small events feel like a little microcosm of the accounting community where I feel at home, and they give me enough emotional space to focus on the people in front of me. Small events are also much less overwhelming to my introverted accountant soul. Caveat for the introverts among us: it’s hard to hide at a small event, which can feel vulnerable. People will see you. They may approach you and… say words to you. Introverts, let them! Advisory Amplified is intentionally capped at 100 people to preserve the feeling of intimacy and safety. It’s more like a group of friends (and friends of friends) getting together to talk about stuff they’re passionate about. When extroverted introverts like me feel comfortable, we notice the person who looks overwhelmed or like they’re about to bolt. We’ve been there. We’ve stood in the corner holding all our things, planning what we’d say if someone caught us “on the way to the restroom” when we’re obviously not coming back. If this sounds like you, give Advisory Amplified a try. Almost everyone in the room, from Advisory Amplified founder Maddy Reeves to the speakers, hometown hosts, and people you might recognize from social media, knows what it’s like to be nervous in a room full of people they don’t know. They’re down to earth, approachable, and genuinely interested in meeting new people – and that includes you! Think about it. If you come to Minneapolis, let me know. I’ll show you around and introduce you to a few people to get you started, including Hometown Host @AccountingAsArt Mary McDonald, Tax Girl @taxgirl Kelly Phillips Erb, and the amazing @MeganTarnow Megan Genest Tarnow🐝 Don’t forget to pack a knit beanie for a Mary Tyler Moore hat toss!
