Change Makers and Dream Chasers
By Joey Ponce
As MCON rounds the corner to the fun- and work-filled home stretch leading up to the big day, questions from friends and interested folk start to ramp up. 鈥淲hat鈥檚 this MCON thing all about? Is it cool? Is it fun? Is it for me?鈥 And听I鈥檓 always at the ready to explain to people why I think MCON is one of the best conferences for ambitious, social-good-loving people.
If you鈥檙e the type of person who enjoys leading, participating in or even following along with cause movements out in the world, MCON provides a听platform to meet a ton of people with those same interests. And beyond that, it puts you in the same mixing pot as people who are doing great things on a national level and听could give you the insight and advice you need to听get there, too.
This year will be my second MCON event. Last year was enough to get me addicted to the incredible experience听of knowledge, inspiration and motivation packed into a two-day conference. For anyone who has never attended, I would highly recommend considering this year鈥檚 conference. MCON 2015 promises to include the same caliber of speakers that MCON is well known for, great socializing events for听mingling with your peers, and the beautiful and vibrant city of Chicago as your backdrop. If you can鈥檛 make it to Chicago, there鈥檚 always the free livestream you can enjoy from the comfort of your own living room.
Really, there鈥檚 no excuse not to drop in and absorb some of the inspiring听content the conference will undoubtedly encompass.
If you work for a great place that encourages this type of professional development, if you are a freelancer who can write this off as a well-deserved business expense, or if you are a student and are , I鈥檝e designed a little visual aid that can help you pitch your case to the powers that be.听
