It’s not a classroom – and it won’t be death by Powerpoint.
That’s the promise from Neil Simpson ahead of his workshop on LinkedIn at Carlisle’s Old Fire Station on 25 September.
One of the UK’s most notable (and loudest) LinkedIn trainers, after a 15-year career in professional dance, film and unprofessional comedy, Neil retired from performing in 2001 and has since spent over two decades bringing innovation to businesses.
And he has a clear view of what you’ll get from the evening with him:
“What I find is that everybody who attends the session knows exactly what to do next. It becomes clear what the next steps they need to do. The feedback I get is that it becomes easier for them to create content.
“They know exactly who their customer is, what their customer is interested in, and then how to create content that piques interest.”
Neil will host an informal clinic for early-bird ticket holders before the main event. The A word – AI – will also feature on the night but in a unique and lasting way.
“One of the things I am offering is I’m creating a custom GPT just for the attendees at this event,” says Neil. “So they’ll be able to take away their own little AI machine that will help them. It’ll be a little bit like having me in their pocket. You can converse with it, and it will ask you the right questions so that you can embed the lessons that I’m talking about in your everyday business life afterwards.”
The event is organised by The Gather, the first one under their new name having changed from LA23NET. But you can be assured all the things you loved about LA23 will still be there – good food and drinks and a chance to network with some mighty fine people.
Helen Statham, founder and director of Intro PR, owners of The Gather, said: “This marks the start of our new era at The Gather and we couldn’t have a better guest speaker than Neil Simpson for the first event under our new name.
“It promises to be a really insightful and useful look at how to make the most of LinkedIn – plus all the usual fun aspects of a LA23NET networking event that you’ve come to know and love. Come Gather one and all!”
