Our Thoughts On Attending MarkeTech

 Attending the MarkeTech 2025 Conference in Kearney, Nebraska, was an enriching experience for v2 Graphics & Marketing. This event provided a platform to engage with industry professionals, share insights, and explore the latest trends in marketing and technology.​ This was our second year to attend.

MarkeTech is an annual conference hosted by Grow Nebraska. The GROW Nebraska® Foundation is a non-profit educational organization that helps small business owners and entrepreneurs get the resources they need to live in ‘Anywhere, NE’ and make a sustainable living. Since the inception of GROW Nebraska in 1998 their mission is to create viable economic development through business training, technical assistance, promotion, and access to markets.

Our Presence at the Conference
v2 was thrilled to host a booth where we connected with attendees, discussed our services, and exchanged ideas on the evolving landscape of graphic design and marketing. Interacting with fellow professionals and business owners offered valuable perspectives and fostered meaningful relationships. We enjoyed our conversations with businesses such as Center for Rural Affairs, JDesign Strategist, and Geneva Fun Plex.

The Sweet and Sour of Social Media Session
One of the highlights for us was presenting our session titled "The Sweet and Sour of Social Media." In this workshop, we discussed the good and the bad of social media for businesses. On the sweet side, we explored strategies for building authentic connections, gaining crucial insights, and effectively advertising to potential customers. We also addressed the sour aspects, such as managing posting fatigue, safeguarding against scammers, and handling internet trolls. Our goal was to equip MarkeTech attendees with practical insights to navigate the complexities of social media effectively.

During our session we shared several resources we have available for businesses and organizations that manage their own social media.
