The 10 Most Tweetable Moments of the Forbes #Under30Summit

Earlier this week, I attended the Forbes Under 30 Summit at our own Pennsylvania Convention Center (1101 Arch Street). Yes, that’s right, Forbes brought their first ever Summit to our city! The conference gathered 1,000+ members of the Forbes ‘30 Under 30’ list, plus some other hopefuls like myself, for two days of some of the most inspiring talks I have ever had the privilege of listening to. And let me tell you – the people sitting in that room were impressive. I laughed. I got chills. I feverishly scribbled in my notebook. And, of course, I tweeted all along the way, because I knew the information shared amongst these leaders during their time in our city was so, so important.

The 10 Things I Learned at the Forbes Under 30 Summit

So, in case you missed (or ignored) my incessant tweeting, I’ve gathered my 10 favorite nuggets from the conference to share with you today. I hope these fire you up and give you some inspiration like they did for me, because, as it’s quite easy to forget . . . Malala is only 17.
