Virtual FinCon, that is. The FinConX 2020 conference starts in 2 days, on Friday Nov. 13.
As I wrote last year in my FinCon FOMO post, FinCon is the world’s largest conference for financial educators and influencers. Their website, finconexpo.com, called the community "a diverse group of ‘money mediapreneurs.’"
Why am I going? Number one reason, because I can! Unfortunately, the in-person event was canceled because of the pandemic. That was likely disappointing for many of the regular attendees. But the organizers resourcefully offered this online event in its place, FinConX. Whether I plan to keep blogging mostly for myself or to blog more openly, I get to learn and get a big dose of positivity. Free education without spending time to travel? That's a win-win!
But I am faced with a decision, whether or not to add this blog to my profile. My dad always says, you don't live in a vacuum. Basically, what you do affects other people. Or, other people can affect you. The accountability of having a public platform isn't something I'm seeking out. If blogs were only meant to be helpful, why do they all have disclaimers in the fine print? I even have one, and this blog isn't monetized at all. Maybe that's a question I could ask the pros.
Are you going to FinConX? See you there!
