IN 12 DAYS, the 6th SBN Dealmakers Conference will convene in Nashville, on Feb. 19.
I'm writing as a volunteer on the 50-person Host Committee in order to suggest you plan to join hundreds of Nashville professionals when we convene at Hillwood Country Club on Wednesday, February 19.
Having previously attended Nashville Dealmakers events, I've been pumped for months about this return engagement.

Then this week I had a great conversation with a Dealmaker Nashville panelist who now lives here.
I soon realized that 'Nashville's gain was Manhattan's loss' when Paul Goldman -- 4X INC 5000 Founder and CEO of Muserk LLC -- relocated with his family from NY to Nashville, where's he's now deeply engaged not only with Dealmakers, but also with Leadership Music and others.
As it turns out, Goldman's company is "a music administration platform that ensures global royalty accuracy for music rights holders."
Moreover, Muserk's now backed by Intaglio Ventures, Tau Capital and by Nashville-based Music-industry driver Joe Galante (here/here/here), among others.
That did it: I got on the phone this afternoon with Dealmakers, and am happy to passalong Dealmakers' $200 coupon for your use in registering.
If, as I hope, you elect to go for it, just review ticket options and then order your tickets via this link, which has the VENTURENVTN200 coupon code already embedded in it.
Or, go the regular ticket-buying route and add that same coupon code in the order-checkout process.
One highlight of the Feb. 19 event: Sixteen (16) Nashville executives are to be honored in-person for their contributions to the region.
Those honorees, listed alphabetically, are John Anderson, Sid Chambless, Matt DiMaria, Townes Duncan, Richard Flores, Benjamin Goldberg, Max Goldberg, Erick Goss, Joey Hemphill, Trent Hemphill, Zeena Johar, Julia Polk, Reggie Polk, Jim Sohr, Rich Thomson and Barry Walker.
The conference is a model of networking and presents at least curated 24 speakers, backed-up by clockwork operators.
With emphasis on connections, the rapidly flowing daylong itinerary includes four 20-minute networking breaks and nearly an hour for lunch-and-networking.
The rosters of speakers, panelists, Nashville executive Honorees and Hall of Fame inductees are stacked for easy review here.
Entrepreneurs appearing are associated with Dreamliner Luxury Coaches, ClimateWiser, Endeavor Business Media, Legacy Dental Group, Nashville Door Closer Service, Ntracts, Muserk, and US Heart & Vascular.
