Need an independent source of coverage for your next conference? I’d love to hear about any upcoming events that would be a good fit. My typical roles include:

  • Speaker
  • Panelist
  • Industry Blogger
  • Technical Analyst

For short pings, feel free to reach out on Twitter (@ChrisWahl), or email conferences at WahlNetwork dot com with details, pricing, and questions. I try to respond within one business day unless I’m out for PTO.
