It’s a pickle. You just got laid off and now more than ever you need to get a new gig. The best place to meet prospective employers and network is in person at an industry conference (get them drunk!). But now there’s no company paying your way, and you’re pinching every penny. What you need is a discount.
Our NewTeeVee Live Conference is right around the corner, and it not only features a stellar lineup of speakers (the CEOs of Hulu, Netflix and Canoe Ventures, and the creator of CSI, to name a few), but also an excellent opportunity to press the flesh with the media companies that matter. They’ll all be attending.
If you’ve recently lost your job, we’ll give you a so-low-we-can’t-print-it-here discount on a ticket to NewTeeVee Live. All you have to do is email your laid-off story to “tickets at newteevee dot com” with the subject line “LAID OFF DISCOUNT” (bonus points if you attach your company’s downsizing memo!). We’ll send you a code that you can use when purchasing your ticket.
NewTeeVee Live is Thursday, Nov. 13, in San Francisco. Just because the economy is in the dumps doesn’t mean you have to be. We’ll see you there.
