How an Event Works

Flavors of Events (Firesides/Showmes)

There are three types of Guild events, each typically 45m-1hr long, fully opt-in, and private hosted virtually (hopefully in person soon!).

Focused on Tactics, Not Fluff

We work hard to drive our guest speakers towards sharing the non-obvious, 201- & 301-level tactics with Guild members. Avoiding, at all costs, any fluff.

We Focus So You Can Engage

As part of every Guild event, there is a dedicated scribe from FirstMark who focuses on note-taking and curating key takeaways so that you can engage freely.
