Anil Aggarwal shared thisIf you’re building in subscriptions, membership or recurring revenue, you should be paying attention to SubSummit, which was founded by my friends Christopher George and Paul Chambers. It'll take place on May 13–15, and there’s still time to get involved. I’ve spent many years in events. Most optimize for attendance. A few--and the best--also optimize for connections and outcomes. I've seen first-hand how SubSummit enables conversations that drive tangible results. If you’re considering going, let me know and I can put you in touch with Chris and Paul. Or, simply get your ticket at https://subsummit.com/

Anil Aggarwal shared thisTurning networking into meaningful event revenue--including pay-for-performance revenue at huge scale--with groundbreaking event tech is one of the most under-leveraged opportunities in events. It's impressive to see how the Personatech team is proving the way with AI to drive unprecedented outcomes. This is a big shift for the events industry, and the numbers speak for themselves...over 1 million completed 1:1 meetings! https://lnkd.in/eSpuDi3DAnil Aggarwal shared thisAt Personatech, since 2023 we've been helping event organisers turn networking into one of their biggest revenue drivers. Over 1 million 1:1 meetings and $120 million in client revenue later, we’re taking that vision even further with the launch of our AI-First Platform and Networking Programs. From day one, Personatech was built to capture and activate data at scale. That foundation now powers our shift to AI-First — helping organisers, exhibitors, sponsors, and attendees get more value with less effort. Built on the industry’s largest dataset of real intent and interactions, our AI is trained, tuned, and applied to deliver tangible business outcomes. Many of our clients are already seeing incredible results, and we’re just getting started. I'm excited for what’s next...and this is only the beginning of Personatech’s AI-First journey! 📢 Read the full announcement here → https://lnkd.in/eFJ6kwuD

Anil Aggarwal shared thisSimran Rekhi Aggarwal and I made New York's East Village our home a few years ago. One cause close to our hearts is Ollie's Place, a wonderful cat rescue and adoption center located right down the street from us. A fully volunteer run group, Ollie’s (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit) is now struggling to meet rising expenses of rent, food, and vet care, and is currently running a GoFundMe campaign. Without support, Ollie’s cannot continue its work to save cats who desperately need help. Simran and I have committed to matching every dollar raised, doubling the impact of everyone's generosity. If you're able to, please join us in helping Ollie’s serve as a haven for cats who’ve faced neglect, hardship, or abandonment, and find forever homes for them. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/e8CwyADt The photo? That's me with Smarty, one of our cats that likes to join Zoom calls!

Anil Aggarwal reposted thisAnil Aggarwal reposted thisPart of what makes Future Proof Festival one of the most valuable wealth management conferences around is the Breakthru meetings. These 15 minute meetings are just the right length to figure out whether or not there's a mutually beneficial opportunity to be uncovered. Having completed over 30 of these meetings in my last two years, I've noticed there's an openness that's hard to find anywhere else. Regardless of title and experience, participants are incredibly willing to share what they do and what their pain points are in a way that would take significantly longer to discover on a cold outreach. If I could point to a single differentiator that makes Future Proof Festival a must attend event for financial advisors and the service providers that support them, it would be these Breakthru meetings. #LSEG #FutureProof #FinancialAdvisor #WealthManagement #Breakthru

Anil Aggarwal shared thisI love Personatech because it brings together my background in building leading events and cutting edge tech companies in a way that's unique and meaningful. I also love Personatech because the exceptionally talented team is disrupting the events industry with event tech that drives top line revenue and profitability in a way the events industry has never seen and just can't get anywhere else.Anil Aggarwal shared thisAnother successful Shoptalk Europe in the books! Our incredible tech helped Shoptalkers complete a whopping 25,000+ double opt-in meetings and an amazing 118 peer group discussions called Tabletalks. Shoptalk Europe is rapidly cementing its place as the #1 retail event in Europe by using our incredible tech to deliver incredible attendee ROI. And that, ladies and gents, is the power of Personatech! 🚀 Shoutout to our team onsite! Ed Akenhead, Abbey L'Estrange, Sam Wood, Manas Chamuah, Prashant Garg. Hasta la vista, Barcelona! #shoptalkeurope #personatech

Anil Aggarwal liked thisAnil Aggarwal liked thisNot long ago, Future Proof was a vacant lot in Huntington Beach and a bet that this industry deserved a better way to come together. This week, Michael Kitces named Future Proof Festival and Future Proof Citywide the best conference experience for 2027. He pointed to the outdoor, festival-style atmosphere and an experience built around connection. That one means a lot to us. Kitces has spent years helping advisors decide where their time is best spent, and his list is one the industry actually reads. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gnw5FFJA The credit belongs to everyone who showed up early, took the meeting, stayed for the sunset, and brought a colleague back the next year. You built this with us. Next up: Citywide, March 14-17, 2027, in Miami Beach. Registration is live. futureproofhq.com/citywide

Anil Aggarwal liked thisToday we announced 70+ galleries and the some of the artists that they’ll be showing at this year’s InScope event. Check it out. We’re going to be announcing more Feature Projects next week as well as the first look at our entirely redesigned event layout which focuses on the attendee experience over anything else. It’s something that’s never been done at an art fair before. For an industry of creatives, the art fair event model has been anything but creative. That’s changing this year. Hope to see you in December.Anil Aggarwal liked thisInScope announces the participating galleries for its inaugural edition: 70+ galleries from 12 countries, across four beachfront pavilions at Ocean Drive and 8th Street, December 1–6 during Miami Art Week. At InScope, galleries are more than the point of presentation. They are active participants in how artists are discovered, understood, and collected. The inaugural selection brings distinct gallery programs into conversation, inviting you to encounter unfamiliar work and discover artists beyond your existing frames of reference. The format favors the quality of each encounter over the quantity of work on view. It makes room for individual gallery perspectives and for time with the work and the people presenting it. “We don’t believe a better art fair is simply a bigger one,” said Hayley River Smith, Director of InScope. The gallery floor is open 11 AM–7 PM ET daily, December 2–6. See the full lineup: https://lnkd.in/g-SfhU7X #InScope #MiamiArtWeek

Anil Aggarwal liked thisAnil Aggarwal liked thisYou land in Colorado Springs your calendar is already full. Not a placeholder or "TBD, networking." An actual person, in an actual seat, who requested you the same way you requested them. By the time you've checked into your room, you already know who you're sitting across from tomorrow morning. Nothing to figure out once you're here, just the conversation itself. 10,000+ Breakthru Meetings are already stacking up for Safeguard 2027. May 10 to 13. The Broadmoor

Check it out …Anil Aggarwal liked thisMiami Art Week brings more than 100,000 people to Miami Beach, with different interests and ambitions all connected by the art that brought them there. InScope is built to turn that proximity into connection. It's six days on the sand where emerging art meets wellness, wealth, technology, luxury, entertainment, and design.

Anil Aggarwal liked thisAnil Aggarwal liked thisIf you’re in wealth and investment management and wondering how to keep up with everything happening in AI, I’m coming to terms with the fact that you can’t. The pace of change is unlike anything I’ve experienced, and I find it both invigorating and anxiety-inducing. There’s so much to learn, but there’s also a business to run, a team to support, and a day that hasn’t gotten any longer. For me, accepting that means thinking more carefully about where I spend my time learning and who I’m learning from. I want to understand how people are using these tools, what’s working, and how it’s changing their roles, their firms, and their expectations for the future. I also want to hear where they’re struggling, because I suspect a lot of us are working through similar questions. That’s what led us to focus Future Proof Citywide entirely on AI’s transformation of wealth and investment management last year. In March 2027, we expect more than 6,000 people from across the industry to come together and share what they’re learning, building, questioning, and figuring out. My hope is that people leave with practical ideas they can use and a little more confidence about the decisions ahead. I care about this because I plan to be part of this industry for a long time, and I know many of you do too. We have an opportunity to help shape how this unfolds, even while we’re still making sense of it ourselves. That feels like a worthwhile reason to get together. I hope you’ll join us in March.
