Corporate Conferences; The Good, the Bad...

Demoted Productions
About this episode

Are you coming to the Demoted conference? Ross and Natalie dive deep into the world of corporate conferences; the good, the bad, and the virtual. You’ll get a crash course of the do’s and don’t’s of conference etiquette. They also plan out the perfect Demoted Conference complete with a swimsuit chic dress code, hot tub round tables, and a workshop on tastefully sexting your colleagues.

Get ready for some wild conference confessions from our listeners featuring top-performers kissing clients and an overpaid account executive snorting sheetrock (yes, you read that correctly). Stay tuned for complex coffee orders, a debate on strong-grip handshakes, and what it’s like not being cool enough to live in LA.
