Going to conferences means travel, time and money.
If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, cut back on all of the above yet plug into the global conversation, one option is the <Head> Conference on October 24-26.
You can access the Conference from the comfort of your home or office.
There will be a number of Local Hubs from the area where people can get together for face time and networking some with speakers.
Until September 30th, <Head> offers a $99 early bird special.
They are another illustration of the Consumed to Thrifty trend.
I am looking into the possibility of having a Local Hub in the New Jersey-Philadelphia area. Let me know if you are interested.
It has common traits with CoWorking in some ways.
