Faffcon2 Electric Boogaloo


I had the privilege to attend Faffcon 2, Electric Boogaloo this past weekend in Atlanta. That's me right behind the Faffcon2 logo with the blue shirt and goatee!

For those of you who don't know, Faffcon is billed as the Voiceover Un-Conference. The sessions are peer conducted and somewhat unstructured since quite often, the person conducting the session may have just thought of the topic that morning!

Nevertheless, the quality of the information being shared by these incredibly talented and generous people is priceless. In fact, some of it was pure gold, hence the concept of the Golden Nugget! A Golden Nugget is some bit of information that an individual takes away from any given session, that really resonates for them and helps them move their business in a positive direction.

I came away from Faffcon 2 with a virtual treasure chest full!

For me, one of the most amazing parts of Faffcon was getting to meet, talk with, have dinner with, laugh with and yes, even sing with some of the most talented professionals in the industry. Some of these people I have known online for some time but had never met in person. What fun it was to finally meet face to face!
