Time to Mosey, Pardners!
Before you head to San Antonio, get all the news you need on Monday at our annual Kickoff Twitter Hang at 9pm ET.
Welcome to Dad 2.0 Week!
Very soon old friends will reunite, and new friends will see what all the fuss is about. We’ll talk about the need for paid paternity leave with Title Sponsor Dove Men+Care. Our workshops will talk about crucial skills (like creating, pitching, negotiating, and marketing) for becoming a better influencer. Our idea-driven breakouts will propose how to redeem social media, live the YouTube life, create better interactions between our boys and girls, and learn what happens if your kid identifies as neither.
And overall, we’re going to work on leaving San Antonio feeling equipped to become better marketers, writers, fathers, and men. Not necessarily in that order.
If you’re coming to San Antonio, starting Monday you’ll be getting a newsletter every morning that will offer you important information for getting the most out of your Dad 2.0 experience. In the meantime, may we suggest preparing for your pending travels by perusing some assorted online literature, namely our informative posts about our Schedule, our Sponsors, our Speakers, our Friday programing, our Saturday programming, and our comprehensive guide to social interaction? And if you finish all that, maybe listen to a podcast.
Only five sleeps left!
