Solar Power International was officially cancelled last Friday. 😩 Our thoughts and prayers are with those who are suffering and in the arduous process of rebuilding that great city after Hurricane Ida.
In today's Tactical Tuesday Nico has some real advice for what to do next. He chats w/ Danielle Danko of Solar Power Events (the org that produces SPI) about how we can support the NOLA community right now, and what the next events are that you can get ready for (assuming we can still meet in person in the near future). Next, Nico has Jake Rozmaryn back to share ideas about how you can level up your biz dev & marketing efforts in light of no more SPI. There are some true gems, and even surprising ideas, and Nico shares some of his LinkedIn mojo to help you get your creative juices flowing.
