One-on-One Office Hours
The Expert Lab is a portion of the conference where each attendee gets a 15 minute one-on-one session with an experienced professional. With areas of expertise including marketing, product development, manufacturing, logistics, collaborations, planning, and much more, our experts offer a level of advice that helps attendees solve real problems they are struggling with.
As an attendee of the conference you will get the chance to sit down with one of the following awesome people. Because each expert has a limited number of slots available for meetings, it is best to register as soon as you know who you’d like to chat with. If you do not register before Friday, September 19th at noon, you can register the morning of the conference but selections will be vastly limited.
Please only register for one session. If you register sessions with more than one person, it will make it difficult for others to register. Additionally, if you’re signed up for more than one, we will have to choose which one expert you meet with.
Please email us at hello[at]nearlyimpossible.org if you have any questions!
