Our first day was hosted by the brilliant CEO of Found, Tina Judic. After each session, Tina chaired a Q&A with the speakers, delving deeper into their topic of discussion by answering questions from the audience. If you want to watch Tina’s digest of day one, you can access the video of her closing comments to explore her key takeaways – including the fact that affiliate marketing has become sexy!
We kicked off with a fantastic session filled with future-gazing, predictions, and tips and tricks for the future. It was great to begin the event with a discussion during which the speakers assessed trends and takeaways from the past year and spoke about how these lessons can be implemented in the future. It set the tone for a brilliant event, and the rest of the day continued in the same way…

One of the things she always talked about was if something happens out there, meaning out in the cities and towns, she would always say that we would be able to continue on for a while longer because we would have access to all the resources that were around us the waters, the fish, the animals and the land, he said.

Described as a virtual business incubator, it s an online meeting space where people can adopt an avatar and use it to wander around a 3-D environment, meant to replace physical spaces where entrepreneurs would normally go for support.
