FITposium 2019
When I started FITposium, now called Get Published LIVE, 10 years ago, it all started with one question: What would happen if we gathered together a community of aspiring fitness professionals to connect and learn how to navigate the fitness industry together?
A decade later, I can answer that question with certainty.
What happens is that these entrepreneurs will get fired up in ways that no one could have ever imagined–and that fire will keep burning throughout the duration of their careers. Through Get Published LIVE, we’ve seen incomparable connections made between entrepreneurs and media outlets–I can’t tell you how fulfilling it’s been for me to know that I’ve had a hand in getting some of those lasting relationships off the ground.

Through Get Published LIVE, I wanted to help entrepreneurs establish themselves in business, market their brands, and profit from their passion.
Over a decade, we’ve launched careers. We’ve helped established brands reach new levels of success. We’ve supported entrepreneurs as they navigated rebrands, narrowed down niches, and got intentional about their goals–and how to pursue them. No matter where our attendees were in their journey, we were proud to be able to act as a launchpad for success, a library of information, and a willing avenue for open conversation and feedback.

Some of our attendees have become household names. But no matter where they take their careers, they know they’re an integral part of the Get Published LIVE family–that our door is always open to chat strategy, direction, or obstacles. Or, to share a cute pet or baby pic–that’s part of being in our family, too.
But after witnessing literally hundreds of careers skyrocket with the connections made at Get Published LIVE, we started feeling a shift in our own goals.
Since the pandemic, our direction for Get Published LIVE has been narrowed down even more. We felt strongly about paring down the conference so we could intentionally get more personal. We wanted to cultivate deeper conversations, provide hyper-focused feedback, and create a dialogue that equalized media and entrepreneurs.

And to be honest? We sort of loved it. We felt the fire that so many of our past attendees have felt. So much so that we’ve decided to find a new way to go even harder in that direction. We started feeling the urge to connect even deeper and more meaningfully with entrepreneurs and brands–and we decided to follow it.
And that’s meant letting go of Get Published LIVE as we develop a finer vision of how we can support entrepreneurs next.
After 10 years, it’s time to make space for a new project. One that walks side-by-side entrepreneurs as they carve out their spot in their industry, grow their brand, and dream bigger than ever before. Rather than cheering from the sidelines, we want to be a partner in these endeavors.

If you’ve been with us since the beginning, you know how deep our passion runs for being a part of your journey. And now, as we head into the next chapter, we’re looking forward to the future of helping you reach the wildest, most fulfilling iteration of your goals.
We can’t wait to build out ambitious dreams with you.
Stay tuned and thank you all!
