The Replays
That was a blast, y’all
What a week! Newsletter Fest was just plain amazing. We really hope those of you who attended enjoyed it. If you missed a session (or want to watch one over and over) we’ve got just the YouTube playlist for you.
We’ve included last week’s schedule below with direct links to those sessions if you prefer to navigate that way.
Note: We’ve been sharing the decks from those who provided them over in our Newsletter Fest Slack Community (where we’ll keep sharing newsletter resources and enjoying all the newsletter creator interactions). We’ll be sending out separate emails to the registrants of each session with the decks and replay links as well, but this newsletter makes it faster to reach the majority of you at once.
Also, congratulations to last week’s award winners!
