“All of those moments were preparing me to step in and embrace where I was.” 🌱

Tyler Perry shared how a mother’s love, bill collecting, and used car sales each packed something he’d need later. Every season of your life is putting something in your suitcase too. What’s in yours?

Moments from the soil. 🌱

What was planted on stage. What was watered in the breakouts and workshops. What grew in the hallways. This is what proximity looks like. 🙌🏾

In a digital world, proximity still wins.

AI can answer a question. It can’t shake your hand, introduce you to the right person, or show up when you need it most.

That’s why we built Good Soil Forum around PROXIMITY: closing the gap on connection. Rub shoulders with people who get it. Swap stories. Share a meal. Laugh. Lean on each other when things get hard.

Real relationships are the heartbeat of this room. Pick your people carefully.

You may move faster alone, but you’ll go further together. 🙌🏾

Your brand is one of the most valuable things you own. Wells Fargo’s Intellectual Property team is at Good Soil Forum with three tips on closing the gap in protecting your brand. Swipe for expert advice, then find them at the Trademark Pro Bono Clinic in the Resource Room, 3rd floor.

Get close to the people who protect a household-name brand. Antonio Vann has more than 20 years of experience in trademarks, copyright, licensing, enforcement, and digital media. His tip: going national means filing a federal trademark, while staying local may only need a state registration.��

Expert access usually comes with distance and a big price tag. Not here. The Trademark Pro Bono Clinic offers one-on-one consultations for entrepreneurs and small business owners, at no cost, on choosing a brand name, trademark fundamentals, and filing for federal registration. 🙌🏾��

A lot of business owners don’t know what a trademark is. It can be a word, a logo, an image, even a sound: anything customers see and know is you. Carla H. Clements manages Wells Fargo’s international trademark portfolio and previously advised Fortune 100 companies at an Am Law 100 firm.

Some conversations change what you build. This is one of them. Direct guidance from attorneys who protect one of the most recognized brands in the country, in the Resource Room at the Trademark Pro Bono Clinic. 🙏🏾�

Proximity: the attorneys are right here. Patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and copyright are the four types of intellectual property, and depending on what your business makes, one or more may matter most. Paul Mussell leads global IP strategy for the Wells Fargo brand.

Expert legal guidance, within reach, and part of the Good Soil Forum experience. Trademark Pro Bono Clinic, Resource Room, 3rd floor. Walk in with your questions.

LAST day to get $200 off any ticket with code FINAL200. Afterpay is available. Ends tonight: 11:59 PM PST.

This is it. Last day.

After tonight, there's no more sale, no more countdown, just Thursday.

We removed every barrier we could. The payment plans, the discount, the four interest-free payments. Now it's just the decision.

In four days, you'll either be walking into that room or reading everyone else's recap.

This time next week, you'll either be in Dallas or wondering why you weren't.

Last chance. $200 off with code FINAL200. Ends tonight.

Afterpay splits your pass into 4 interest-free payments if you need it.

Sale ends 11:59 PM PST tonight.
