Hey ,
Let’s be honest: if your 2025 content calendar is still a blank Google Doc, it’s time for a little tough love. Over at The Virtual Summiteers, we’re already scheming our way to next-level virtual event domination.
Here’s the tea:
- Tom Ballard is out here flexing his Notion setup like a productivity influencer, while the rest of us just remembered where our planners are.
- Jason Hodge? Crushing client calendars but maybe (just maybe) leaving his own business on read.
- And Ericka Bates (That's Me!)—well, I'm treating November like it’s New Year’s Day because I've already got six months of content and events locked in. No big deal.
But it’s not all spreadsheets and scheduling. Oh no, we’re also hanging out with our AI besties:
- Perplexity and Frase: Research tools so good, you’ll wonder how you ever Googled anything.
- Notebook LM: Zakia showed us how this beauty turns your content into a “deep dive” video, complete with your own voice edits. It’s like having a research assistant who never takes a coffee break.

Oh and the production game?
Tom’s got a setup that’ll make your webcam blush—lighting, angles, teleprompters... the works. Meanwhile, some of us are still Zooming with our cameras tilted at “ceiling fan chic.”
What’s this all leading to?The ultimate 2025 strategy:
- Quarterly themes.
- Expert speaker sessions.
- SaaS partnerships that scream "power move."
TL;DR: If your calendar isn’t locked and loaded yet, it’s time to catch up.
