As a Technical Writer transitioning to UX Writing, Growing In Content was exactly what I needed. I learned how to adjust my resume, prepare for interviews, and think about my brand. I can immediately implement what I learned in my job search.

I'm so appreciative of Growing In Content's 1-day, virtual format that brought together content professionals from across the globe. The topics were timely and engaging, the programming was tight, and the community was incredibly supportive. I can't wait to attend next year!

Perspectives showed me that the role of the content designer is maturing! The experience and content of the speakers in the paid sessions went beyond past conferences I’ve attended.

The first-ever Perspectives Conference was an absolute delight! From the intentional inclusion of well-being sessions, to every topic, speaker and talk, the entire program was compelling from start to finish. Each track was well thought out, and every talk was just long enough to be substantive, and not so long that focus was ever lost. Such a rich blend of voices, too! Excellent!

It feels amazing to connect with a global community of content professionals who will happily nerd out about our shared interests!

Growing In Content felt very real, all of it. I'd describe it as a conference that is small enough to allow for personal interactions while big enough to attract professional talent that delivers high-caliber insights.

This conference is a valuable experience for anyone involved in the industry, offering excellent advice and learning opportunities from experienced content professionals. Undeniably one of the top content conferences available.

James, Candi and Peter did such a phenomenal job creating this amazing content design careers fest. This has to be the most authentic and down to earth team going. Fab community too. Perspectives 2022 provided authentic conversations about the most important aspects of working in content design.

Growing In Content was power-packed. I loved the panel speakers, especially the talk on resilience and Laura's story. It inspired me to continue sharing my story on LinkedIn. The conference was mind-blowing. I am looking forward to next year.

Growing In Content was such a helpful event, especially for those starting out or looking to change roles. I came away with a ton of actionable advice to help me take control of my career path along with some solid tips for the work I'm doing right now. Even better, I made some really great new connections. I look forward to the next one!

If you're wondering how to break into content design or progress your career, Perspectives is for you. You'll connect with wonderful like-minded people who will openly share their tips and struggles so you won't feel like you're taking the journey alone.

As a speaker I could be biased. But I am not, because I will always expect high quality and technical thoroughness from a conference to hold my attention. Perspectives 2022 delivered: I learned so much in the first half of my on-demand videos to go through and cannot wait to see the 2nd part.
