With the challenges in the market today, it is imperative that you set yourself apart and above your competition. Did you know that 90% of your direct competitors are afraid to speak in public?

Hidden within this crazy statistic is an enormous opportunity for you to rise to the top 10% of professionals in your field, establish yourself as an expert, and to generate a ton of new prospects and clients through public speaking.

Last year's presentation set the tone and direction for the Nashville Technology Council. A year later and what is the state of technology in Nashville? After one year on the job, we will share what has been learned about Nashville, Technology, and other major trends affecting the work place for years to come. What impact did the recession have on Nashville? Where are the next opportunities for tech companies? Where do we go from here? This will be an interactive presentation.

All too often, companies try to be "everything" to "everybody" and don't know a darn thing about what their customers want, what they do, or what keeps them up at night.

This session will provide basic product management methodology concepts to the small, medium or large business (or those wanting to be a small, medium or large business). We will talk about the 80/20 rule and the concept of 'FIRING' (yes you heard it here) your customers.

Time permitting, we will cure world hunger and invent a vaccine to prevent H1N1.

Join Scott Schwertly, CEO of Ethos3 Communications, for an engaging look at how you can be sexy, fiery, and savage with your next presentation just like Bruce Lee. The session will cover tips, tricks, and hacks on how you can build, design, and deliver better presentations.

Yes, that's right folks. You heard it here first. It's true. We're all going to die. We don't like talking and thinking about it, but it's inevitable.

What happens to our content when we leave this place? Who will manage our blog posts, photos, videos, audio, tweets, etc.?

How will future generations find and access your digital estate?

It's time to start giving this some thought kids. Death waits for nobody.

Hey, don't let the topic get you down. We're not dead yet, right?
