Gary Vee's Veecon 2023 Field Day Recap (Day 1)
Welcome to my exclusive coverage of Gary Vee's Veecon 2023, a celebration of his Veefriends brand.
Gary Vee's Veecon 2023 Field Day Recap: #thepozcast
Recorded 5/18/23 @ Forever Fields: Indianapolis, Indiana
I am thrilled to present the first of 3 daily vlogs I recorded at Veecon 2023 with my producer/videographer, Chris Muller. The first day was Field Day, open to all ticketed attendees and filled with outdoor activations, music, food, and some speakers on the community stage. It was a beautiful day, filled with serendipitous connections, conversations, and new and old friends meeting up. The day perfectly encapsulates what the VeeFriends and Veecon ethos is all about. I was able to grab some great interviews (see below) with both known legends in the space and conference attendees to get their take and expectations.
Check it out!
