Frontrow2020
The world's design leaders, one truly virtual conference.
Holy.... moly. We are gobsmacked. Our initial goal was to sell 20 VIP tickets within the first 2-3 weeks... but we did it in less than 48 hours.
This whole virtual conference thing is scaling quicker than we could have imagined. It's funny what happens when you're genuine about the product you're selling.
We booked a few speakers, built a landing page in Webflow (#NoCodeSquad) & crafted two ticket options;
- A FREE ticket which is amazing.
- A VIP ticket which is spectacular.
Through our experience of building a large community online by distributing free content, we know that not everyone can afford those fancy $1k conferences or even that $100+ course because of their geographical location or age. Our mission with Pitchproof is to bring these opportunities to everyone, no matter how they sit in the game of life.
Booyah! I woke up to an email with a signed proposal for our first sponsor for Frontrow2020. We were now fully funded to make this conference actually happen!
The most amazing part is that this sponsor was completely a cold-email situation. No prior connection- just a random guy who took a stab at emailing a company that he uses daily to see if they would back his idea. Luckily, they said yes. :)
The Frontrow virtual conference is an invention of Pitchproof; we create virtual events for our community of 80k+ designers.
We hosted a 2019 edition of Frontrow which has an unbelievable reaction with 3500 designers watching our 4.5 hour broadcast live on Youtube.
We started 2020 with the ambition to do Frontrow again, but more ambitious & giving ourselves a runway of 6 months to pull it all together. Let's see how it goes...
