How do you vet presentation ideas for BBCON to ensure they resonate with attendees? I'm considering submitting a proposal and would love to hear how others gauge interest and refine their topics.

    @Hallie Guiseppe Great question!

    I'm a big fan of crowd sourcing ideas and feedback. Whether it is getting a small group of friends/colleagues together on a zoom call or posting in Community or the Facebook Group, asking others for feedback is always valuable.

    Many of us who are presenters will “workshop” our ideas with other presenters to talk through ideas and obtain feedback.

    Sometimes friends/colleagues have attended other conferences and can give suggestions on things that have received strong participation.

    So if anyone else has ideas that they want to vet - share them here and @Sunshine Reinken Watson and I can help with feedback, too!

    I always think of what session I would like to attend or wish bbcon offered earlier in my career. Brainstorming ideas with other community members is very helpful.
