It's that time of year again, the awesome
Think Visibility conference is happening in Leeds on March 5th. Here's 10 reasonswhy you should go:
1. It's not a stuffy conference where you will find agency types wearing dodgy suits and trawling round to see how they can "help" you gain traffic/leads/email subscribers etc. In fact there will be nobody there in a suit, if there is feel free to point and laugh at them. Likewise it's not an "un-conference" like BarCamp for example where there is no organistaion and you just turn up and talk about things that nobody but you knows or cares about. No, Think Visibility sits somewhere in the middle. It's the cool kid of conferences and The Hodge (that's his real name) makes sure that his character, wit and charm are felt throughout the conference.
2. It's on a Saturday! So no excuses that you have to work and you have Sunday off to recover from the inevitable hangover. Brilliant!
3. It's in Leeds!! Yes an awesome conference that takes place outside of London, they do exist. Very reassuring to see that some London people are actually venturing out of the capital to attend to, make sure you bring your passports.
4. My good friend
Paul is speaking. Paul is also known as
@Twitchhiker on Twitter and in 2009 he hitch-hiked around the world for charity using only Twitter and the kindness of others. Then he went and wrote a
book about it! Paul is a cool guy and very engaging, do not miss his talk.
5. Lots of other cool people are speaking too! I won't list them all here as
some haven't paid me there isn't room, but you can get SEO goodness from the likes of
Dave Naylor and
Dixon Jones. Conversion rate goodness from
Stephen Pavlovich, dodgy stuff (probably) from
Paul Madden and of course Panda's from
Annabel Hodges.
6. It's only £125 to attend. Not £400 like other less interesting conferences.
7. Parties. There is a pre-party the night before and a party on the night of the conference. Then there is the after party...if you're lucky enough to get an invite ;)
8. The
Mint Hotel (formerly City Inn) is cheap. It's the hotel where most people stay, is very reasonable, has Macs in every room (for the geeks among you) and has an awesome cocktail bar called the Skylounge with some very lush cocktails available. We always end up there at some point on the Saturday night.
9. It's in a casino. Yes a conference held on a Saturday, in a casino with alcohol and gambling. Genius.
10. I'll be there. Surely there is no better reason to attend? :)
What are you waiting for?
Get it booked as tickets really are limited. The whole idea is that it's not too corporate with hundreds & hundreds of attendeed so Dom keeps the numbers low. Every year there's people that leave it too late and tickets sell out before they have a chance to buy one. Don't let that person be you!

Really looking forward to this one! I will try and remember not to bring the suit too!
See u there K.
Can’t wait…it’s my first TV and after the glowing reviews of the previous TVs and now your blog post…I reckon I’m in for a treat!
Looking forward to finally meeting the mighty Kieron Donoghue aswell
You didn’t link to The Hodge, you know how much he hates that…:P
And #7 – The after party is pretty much open invite to anyone still standing I seem to recall
I count 8 links back to ThinkVis, surely Dom has to be happy with that?
thanks for the post mate, all very excited here at the office and some of the packages arriving are… entertaining to say the least
Well I have never heard of this conference so thanks for pointing it out – normally I head over to the US for these types of conferences, but seeing the speakers I will book my ticket – see you all there.
Good stuff!
Now, do we call you Mr Experts or just plain Power?
Absolutely the best conference in the UK. I can’t wait! See you all there
First visit back to TV since the inaugural conference some years back now, and that was fantastic so really looking forward seeing how its developed, learning some new stuff and meeting a few of you in person…
I live in London I will be going there in March . I think It will be awesome
Alright, you’ve twisted my arm, might pop along!
I’ve never been to any conference before, but this one does interest me. Might have to check it out next year.
This looks exciting.
Going to be my second TV and I can’t wait. By far the best conference I went to last year and wouldn’t miss these for the world.
Good stuff, I think its one of the best conference there looking forward to see this.
SWEET im going – see you there
Visibility does Rock, great review
Left it too late this year, still need to try and organise a baby sitter, If I manage I’ll be there, looking forward to seeing you all.
I would love to be able to go to the Think Visibility conference next year.
