SNAP Summit: FailCon October 27, 2009

“SNAP Summit: FailCon” is a full-day conference focusing on the trials and tribulations of successful entrepreneurs. You aren’t a real entrepreneur until you’ve had to deal with failure, and recovering from it - financially, emotionally, and practically - can be challenging. Hear how some major players in the social media, startup, and web 2.0 industries have dealt with mistakes, recovered, and kept a positive, tenacious, and energetic attitude through it all.

This year’s conference brings together a full spectrum of attendees, including independent developers, founders, and startups, as well as leading investors, successful executives, marketers, and bloggers.

The conference will debate questions such as:

* What variables do VCs watch for to preemptively prevent a company going under?
* How do you financially prepare for the possibility of failure: legally, fiscally, and in your team?
* What have some of the leading executives today learned from their past experiences?
* What are you watching out for with the current social web and rising companies?
* How do you layoff or fire an employee or partner?
* How do you save a failing company?
* How do you recover from a failed product or marketing campaign?
