A quick intro to UpLift Live as we build to launch the UK's first LinkedIn-focused conference on Thursday 21 March 2024 at Millennium Point in Birmingham. TRANSCRIPT Hi, everyone, and welcome to the UpLift Live podcast. This is a podcast to tell you a little bit more about the upcoming UpLift Live conference. This event is going to be the first of its kind – a conference in the UK, specifically focusing on LinkedIn and aimed at LinkedIn specialists, power users and enthusiasts. My name is John Espirian. I call myself the relentlessly helpful® LinkedIn nerd. And I'm a LinkedIn consultant based in the UK. My whole thing is digging into the techie, nerdy side of LinkedIn. And so a conference like this is something I've always wanted to attend. But it didn't look as though there was any sign of that happening. And so I decided to set up my own, with the help of a couple of colleagues from my Espresso+ community. If you haven't heard of Espresso+ before, it's an online community primarily for small business owners who want learning, support and accountability in improving their visibility on LinkedIn and online. Anyway, two of my Espresso+ members are joining me to form "Mission Control" on this project. And the three of us are running the UpLift Live conference together. So, along with me, John Espirian, my Mission Controllers are Jeremy Freeman, the Human Content Writer, and Gus Bhandal, the Marketing Guru. That cool audio sting at the top and tail of the show was put together for us by another Espresso+ member, Mark Deeks, also known as That Piano Guy, and keeping in tune with the whole lift-off and space vibe for the UpLift Live conference, the musical intro should be reminiscent of The Final Countdown by Europe. And just to confirm, there won't be any long hair or guitars at the event. So, I've never run a public podcast before but it seemed to make sense to give you a little introduction to the experts who will be speaking onstage at UpLift Live. Each is an apex operator of LinkedIn, and will be delivering loads of value across the big day, which is scheduled for Thursday 21 March 2024 at Millennium Point in Birmingham in the UK. You can find out more and get your ticket at uplift-live.com – OK, that's enough for now. Stay tuned to the airwaves to hear more from us and our speakers. Lift-off is coming soon. So, thanks for listening, and stick with us as we prepare for launch. This is Mission Control … over and out.
