The Big Picture Conference, Tentative Schedule

The big event is finally here!

On Wednesday October 10th, we’ll be hosting the annual Big Picture Conference live from the Sentry Center at the TIAA-CREF building.  Barry and conference organizer Marion Maneker really hit a grand slam in terms of the speakers this year, there’s a ridiculous amount of talent and wisdom hitting the stage that day.

Many of you have reached out to me via email or Twitter to tell me you’re coming and I’m really excited to meet you guys!

Here’s the schedule of the day’s events as of this morning:

8:00 Registration and Breakfast in the Atrium

8:30 Introductions

8:45 Neil Barosfsky

If you’re coming to the event and you’re a TRB reader, please come by and say hello during the day!

I’ll also autograph your copy of Backstage Wall Street unless you bought it on a kindle, in which case McGraw-Hill gave me a very low royalty rev-share and I’ll probably be somewhat less enthusiastic. JK, see you there!
