This past week, I was at an amazing event, CADREcon in the DC area and got a chance to sit down with several of the speakers PLUS the event host, Derek Coburn. There are lots of gold nuggets in this episode – but what stands out the most is HOW to create incredible events. I was blown away with the experience Derek created at CADREcon, so we dove into how he made it happen.   Quick Episode Summary: 0:28 What you're going to get from this episode 3:40 Welcome Derek Coburn inside the greenroom 5:33 What Derek has created 7:05 How many members CADRE has 7:27 Cadre's unique membership frame-work 8:24 You can a local event too 9:34 What made Derek want to start an event 11:33 How Derek books the right speakers 13:51 What you can learn from Derek's mistakes 16:51 How Derek keeps diversity at CADREcon 19:20 What Derek looks for in speakers 22:12 The two types of people who run events 26:26 How Derek lands the best speakers for a great price 26:37 The speaker who has impacted Derek the most 29:31 Derek's favorite up-and-coming speakers 31:22 Why Derek believes live events are still important 33:16 Derek's favorite greenroom memory  35:05 Derek's final thoughts 37:18 Backstage at Cadrecon 37:36 Interview with Sam Horn 40:54 Interview with Re Perez 47:31 Interview with Angelique Rewers 52:44 My take-away's from CADREcon   LINKS: www.cadredc.com www.facebook.com/cadredc Click here to see pictures from CADREcon
