Going Solo Leeds has unfortunately been cancelled due to lack of registrations. Check the announcement for details. SoloCamp Leeds will take place instead, sign up now! Thanks for your support.
Going Solo relies mainly on word-of-mouth to make itself known. Here’s some material we’re making available to help you help us! Put a sidebar badge on your blog or website, blog about the event, share videos of interviews or talks… We’ve been tracking down ‘coverage’ blog posts from the very beginning, so we’ll see yours and promote it in return.
Logos
The original Going Solo logo (thanks, Steph!) is rectangular on a yellow background. But sometimes, we need a white background or a square logo. Help yourself!
