Today's episode is a little different. Normally on this podcast, we focus on people running events, but today I thought it would be interesting to look at things from the other side, and take a deep dive into exhibiting at trade shows.

Since I first heard about Crypto in 2012 I have been completely fascinated with the subject. There are so many rabbit holes you can go down; the tech side, the philosophical side which inevitably leads you to question ‘what is money?'. This week I am joined by GERBZ, a very interesting player in the crypto space who runs the website https://bitlift.com/ which has some amazing resources to learn about crypto. I wanted to get GERBZ on the pod initially to give some concrete advice for people running live events so we start off by talking about how event producers can take payment in crypto. We then freestyle about how GERBZ sees the future of crypto and the internet and stay tuned to hear his ‘end of 2011 price prediction.' Gerbz is a developer and entrepreneur who's done over 10k crypto transactions with e-commerce customers since 2013. He co-hosts The BitLift Podcast, which helps people responsibly navigate their way down the crypto rabbit hole.

As long-term listeners may know, back when I started this podcast I launched a software system for event organizers to sell tickets called EventsFrame. To be honest, my main inspiration to start this podcast was in the hope of promoting it…. but that led to me really enjoying podcasting and the podcast has outlived my involvement with EventsFrame :) Enter Martin. Martin is a serial entrepreneur living in Prague who I've known for many years. We used to be part of a weekend mastermind where a group of us would go off for a weekend to different towns and cities in the Czech Republic, book a conference room in a hotel and try to help each other out, followed of course by several beers in the evening. On one of these weekends, I was talking about how hard it was to juggle the software business with my events business and Martin said ‘why don't I take it over'. The rest is history and Martin joins me on the pod today to talk about running an events software company during the worst time for live events in our lifetime!

Taylor is a fascinating guy. He's a hacker who used his skills to become a well-paid consultant, helping governments and companies protect their systems. He's a regular at Def con, which is an annual conference in Vegas for hackers everywhere. I've personally been and it's an amazing event and at a huge scale. Even more interesting is that the conference is cash only and no pre-registration…. so they have no idea about how many people will turn up. Taylor partnered with Defcon to run local meetups and other events relating to security and Infosec, which we discuss in detail. What is really interesting about Taylor is that he runs his business empire from an RV (recreational Vehicle) and he travels full time across the US with his wife!

Chris ran charity projects in Costa Rica, Peru, and Africa where he got a taste for running live events. This led him to run ‘The Entrepreneur House', a productivity-focused residential retreat in multiple cities including Barcelona and Chiang Mai. Chris started off running his events over two months which is a pretty herculean feat!... but has now reduced it down to 10 days. Chris travels full time with his girlfriend although he likes to stay in one place for several months at a time and told me the term ‘slowmad' which I hadn't heard before to describe this lifestyle. Chris is a Podcasting machine and he's produced close to 400 podcast episodes that I can find! Podcasting is a major sales funnel for his events but we discussed how this is a long term proposition and you need to really enjoy it. The second major sales funnel is posting in forms and groups that Chris is a part of. Chris shares his content widely on social media (Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and this also helps with attendees but no one platform worked especially well for him. Along with the events, Chris runs productivity coaching and the podcast also helps him get new clients for this. In terms of the logistics of the events, Chris makes it a super casual format with fixed sessions then free time in between and the attendees often organize trips, etc by themselves. Chris gets involved to make sure everyone is having a good time and to keep the group dynamic good, although with the kind of people he attracts it's always a friendly crowd.

Listen on: iTunes / Podbean / Stitcher / Spotify / YouTube I've known John Mikton for over 9 years now and he's been a huge help and a mentor to me as I launched my company AppsEvents. I wanted to talk to John on the podcast as he's a really interesting guy...A lot of listeners don't know about the world of ‘International Schools, but John has used them as a way to live and work quite literally across the World and raise a family along the way. John is one of the best people I know at building up his knowledge and connections to become an expert in a specific niche and we talk about how he did this. He also is a sought after trainer and conference speaker so we get into how this came about. Finally, John has been involved in dozens of conferences across the world so we discuss some things that he recommends that work really well. In this interview we discuss: His background and how he got started with International Schools How he used this job to live all around the World, including Tanzania, Tokyo, Prague, Zurich, Luxemburg Building his profile as an influencer. Why he went ‘deep not wide' and build up a huge name as someone on the narrow field of International School Education Technology Working as a trainer and speaking at conferences We discuss some of the events we have run together and what John has seen work well with conferences This podcast is brought to you by www.eventsframe.com - Effortless ticketing and attendee management with NO ticket fees...Make the switch from Eventbrite today.

Listen on: iTunes / Podbean / Stitcher / Spotify / YouTube It's great to have returning guest Jeff Berwick back on the podcast to talk about the recent ‘Anarchapulco 2019' conference. This year the conference doubled in size to 2000 people which brought with it a new set of challenges. Jeff runs a conference for Anarchists which is a hugely fascinating topic in itself, but this year there was a lot of drama which leads to a lot of cancellations before the event. There was the tragic shooting before the conference of a member of Jeffs community, plus the decline in Bitcoin price (many attendees had paid with Bitcoin and Jeff had not hedged against this). However, against all these odds Jeff pulled off a great event. He explains how he structured his committee to run things without him getting involved directly (Jeff is a true ‘hands off' manager) and we talk a lot about how to get a team to run a large event successfully.

It was great to chat to David who is co founder of Demio - some really cool webinar software (that integrates with EventsFrame of course ;)) It's a great entrepreneur ‘origin story'. David is one of the new breeds of entrepreneurs who have never had a job, and I really love these stories, as when I came out of college it wasn't an option to start an online business but now it's a viable career choice. David had a lot of false starts including launching 4 web apps before he stuck with Demio and even then it took 2 years to launch it, so it was a real struggle in the early days. We also learn about running virtual meetups, training and events via webinars and discuss: How to keep people engaged with regular activities, quizzes etc. How to sell a virtual event using testimonials and social proof If you want to hear more of David, he interviewed me on his podcast about the story of EventsFrame so check it out here it was a fun chat The podcast is sponsored by www.eventsframe.com - Effortless ticketing and attendee management with NO ticket fees and plans from just $20/month!
