Home > News > BizTechDay… for Squidoo lensmasters

I rarely talk about my speaking events here on the SquidBlog, for many reasons, one being that I don’t like to blur lines, another is I don’t want to interrupt you guys with non-Squidoo stuff.  But I’m breaking my own rules this time, because the BizTechDay conference is a truly spirited, bootstrapped, changemaking event that I think many of our entrepreneurial and ‘home business’ lensmasters would enjoy — especially those of you who run small businesses and shops online. I also wanted to share this because the conference is giving Squidoo members an exclusive discount.

Squidoo, as you know, has proven to be indispensable to many small businesses of all stripes, from the woman who sells soy candles online, to a new cookie company in Vermont, to the consulting company looking for its next phase of growth. So it feels natural for me to speak at BizTechDay and natural to share the conference invitation with you guys.

BizTechDay is happening in 3 cities this year: San Francisco, New York and Seattle. If you’re near those cities, and if a conference like this is up your alley and in your budget, here’s where you can buy tickets. Lensmasters can use the promo code SquidooEarly and save 30% before August 31st.

Just a fun opportunity I thought some of you would enjoy.
