<p>Can you believe that October is next week? The year is flying by, and, here at Hawke Media, our event of the year that we’ve been planning extensively for and highly anticipating is finally here. <a href="https://hawkefest.com/" target="_blank">Hawkefest</a> is next Thursday, October 3rd, at the Houdini Estate in Hollywood Hills!&nbsp;<br></p><p>There’s a reason that we’ve been named one of the<a href="https://brandastic.com/blog/top-ecommerce-conferences/" target="_blank"> best e-commerce conferences</a> to attend this year. We pride ourselves on being on the front lines of the anti-conference movement, as we brand Hawkefest as <a href="https://hawkemedia.com/blog/hawkefest-what-is-an-anti-conference?__hstc=17958374.f0be4a7826486015cc61f3ac188c7df3.1566261996376.1569343496780.1569362238615.43&amp;__hssc=17958374.7.1569362238615&amp;__hsfp=340890931" target="_blank">our annual anti-conference</a>.&nbsp;<br></p><p>At Hawke Media, we’re big on <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesagencycouncil/2019/09/04/five-reasons-why-your-company-should-consider-throwing-events/#5165944c2a41" target="_blank">throwing events</a>, and we appreciate insight on what our peers think. As we’re just over one week away from Hawkefest, we’re wondering one last time what you think of e-commerce conferences and if you can figure out where we’re coming from with this whole anti-conference business. Go ahead, and take the survey below.&nbsp;</p> <div class="typeform-widget" data-url="https://allyspiroff.typeform.com/to/KTrqPN" style="width: 100%; height: 500px;"></div> <script> (function() { var qs,js,q,s,d=document, gi=d.getElementById, ce=d.createElement, gt=d.getElementsByTagName, id="typef_orm", b="https://embed.typeform.com/"; if(!gi.call(d,id)) { js=ce.call(d,"script"); js.id=id; js.src=b+"embed.js"; q=gt.call(d,"script")[0]; q.parentNode.insertBefore(js,q) } })() </script> <div style="font-family: Sans-Serif;font-size: 12px;color: #999;opacity: 0.5; padding-top: 5px;"> powered by <a href="https://admin.typeform.com/signup?utm_campaign=KTrqPN&utm_source=typeform.com-14725575-Free&utm_medium=typeform&utm_content=typeform-embedded-poweredbytypeform&utm_term=EN" style="color: #999" target="_blank">Typeform</a> </div> <p>With Hawkefest, our ultimate goal is to bring together a special lineup of e-commerce entrepreneurs and executives to enjoy an <a href="https://hawkemedia.com/blog/19-reasons-why-hawkefest-is-the-best-event-of-2019?__hstc=17958374.f0be4a7826486015cc61f3ac188c7df3.1566261996376.1569343496780.1569362238615.43&amp;__hssc=17958374.7.1569362238615&amp;__hsfp=340890931" target="_blank">entire day</a> of peer collaboration and programming.
