If you were lucky enough to attend PressNomics last year, one of the highlights was the great presentation Mikkel Svane, the CEO of Zendesk did on friday morning. He shared the journey of starting from nothing but an idea to the amazing success Zendesk enjoys now and care involved in the building the company culture along the way.

Welcome back Envato as a sponsor.

Posted on May 29, 2013May 29, 2013 by PressNomics

I hope you will all join us in welcoming back Envato as a sponsor for PRESSNOMICS. If you recall last year they participated on the sponsorship side (sweet t-shirts for all) and Envato’s founder Collis Ta’eed gave one hell of a good talk to close the event last year.

Envato is a network of thriving digital marketplaces and creative educational blogs. Known for the Tuts+ network as well as marketplaces such as ThemeForest, it oversees more than 30 sub-brands, where millions of community members buy and sell digital assets and hone their creative skills.

We truly appreciate their financial help in making this event happen for everyone. If you would like to hear Collis’s talk from last year they posted a video of sorts on their notes blog, Worth a listen.

Be sure to follow them on twitter at @envato and give them a virtual high five when you interact with them.

Thanks!

Invitations en route

Current Status: Filling Envelopes

Last night on the #dradcast (watch it here) we talked about the PressNomics Experience. A central theme to the success of the event were the people.

Last year we sent out some invitations to specific people in the WordPress ecosystem formally requesting their attendance. While the event is open to all WordPress-centric business owners, we feel it is important to try to ensure specific people are in attendance: Those that are actively shaping and driving the Economy around WordPress.

Canada, the UK, Australia, Tasmania, Norway, India, and South Africa were all represented last year giving PressNomics an international feel. About 50 of invitations for this year are heading across the US and to the far corners of the world tomorrow after I pay a visit to the post office. Please check your postbox next week and consider attending.

We welcome all business owners in the WordPress ecosystem to attend PressNomics. Be sure to snag a ticket when they go on sale June 10th, 10am PST.

Thank you early Sponsors

I think it is testament to the value of this conference that so soon after announcing the dates for PressNomics 2 and opening sponsorship, 11 paid community sponsors are already on board to help bring you this event. Some people asked why we are limiting these businesses to the community level? Truth be told many have asked to sponsor at higher amounts. However I feel that as an event focused on the WordPress businesses, it would not be fair to promote 1 over another. You are all awesome, and we appreciate the assistance.

Planning is underway for PressNomics 2.0

Posted on February 5, 2013February 5, 2013 by PressNomics

It’s official. Planning is underway for PressNomics 2.0.

The idea of PressNomics is simple: Get the movers and shakers of the WordPress economy in the same physical place and bring in amazing business focused speakers to share their experience, add in some ample social time and see what happens.

PressNomics 1 was pretty epic (Archive) and we think we can pull off another winner for v2. Add your email here to be notified as we begin sharing details over the coming weeks/months.

In case you were wondering PressNomics is brought to you by the fine folks at Pagely.
