We enjoyed the first Bailey and Blum so much that we thought we would extend it to a summer weekend in New York (August 6th-8th to be exact). I can’t tell you how exhilirated and inspired I felt after that first session with all our mentorees.
I loved that we had all different levels of folks in the industry. Some were seasoned vets looking to take their business to the next level and others were just starting out and had so many questions. Marcy and I especially felt great spending one on one time with everyone. We felt that we could help them directly and I hope we did. (You can read more about Marcy’s take on the weekend in her blog post here).
And actually, you helped me too. One of the amazing Bailey & Blum attendees, Autumn Oser, ended up working with my team this past summer as a freelancer. I would have never met her if not for the past session.
This time around, Bailey and Blum will be all that and more (do you expect anything else?) I am opening my humble apartment to entertain attendees for dinner one evening, as well as a whole list of other surprises I can’t mention. So as to not spill the secrets, let’s look back at some pictures from the previous Bailey and Blum.

George Bernard Shaw once said: “You see things and say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were and say, ‘Why not?’” That quote embodies how Preston Bailey approaches every event.

So exciting! My first question would be: What is something you feel the industry is lacking? Everyone is talking about oversaturation, but I think that’s because everyone is doing the same things. If we could look past our reality to see what could be- what do you see?

I would ask, have you ever gotten what would be referred to as ‘writer’s block’? And if you have, how did you ‘jolt’ yourself out of it? I ask because I would imagine for someone starting out that it could be an overwhelming experience and the ‘many’ ideas could turn into a blank wall of confusion.

Hi Preston,
Will there be Bailey & Blum in 2011? I’ve submitted my information on the website, but did not see any new dates for next year. I will be saving away to make sure I’m able to attend. This is an AMAZING opportunity to learn!
