It’s a conference created by veterans for the military community. If you’ve been thinking about the idea of becoming an advocate for the community or an entrepreneur, you’re going to want to check this one out. October 22-24 — Dallas, Texas
Originally created by Military.com but shelved after several years, Army veteran Curtez Riggs is reviving the MilBlogging.com event and rebranding it as the Military Influencer Conference to fill a need in the community. Riggs has partnered with ScoutComms to bring this conference to the masses.
The Military Influencers Conference, presented by USAA will bring together military and veteran community leaders, entrepreneurs and digital influencers to explore opportunities to extend their reach, increase audience engagement and ultimately the overall impact.
