Elevate Daytona Beach Auditions Happening this Month |
Have you attended Elevate Daytona Beach in the past and been inspired to share your story, passion, or expertise? Auditions are now scheduled for Elevate Daytona Beach presented by AdventHealth, beginning with a pair of opportunities from 3:00-5:00 p.m. on April 21 and May 5.
Elevate talks are a forum for ideas, not for marketing. It is not that presenters are not allowed to talk about their work or your business, but should do so in such a way that it informs a larger idea.
The goal is to get people thinking and talking.
