Content Creators Symposium 2022: Learnings and TakeAways

Content Creator's Symposium 2022 was held at the EVM Convention Center in Quezon City PH, hosted by CEBSI (Christian Era Broadcasting Service International), a non-stock, non-profit broadcasting corporation. CEBSI is the broadcasting arm of the Iglesia Ni Cristo.

It is an exclusive-by-invite-only-event for digital content creators majorly catered to INC members, although, we have seen some non-INC visitors - which is all the more great for this first-ever launching of Content Creators Symposium.

I was impressed (as usual) because the organizers proceeded with caution and care by catering for free anti-gen testing before any of the participants can enter the venue. It was a note of concern and care for the welfare of the attendees. If you got positive in the anti-gen test, it's a disqualifier for entry.

The event started at around 9:00 AM Manila Time, kicked-off with warm welcome registration and giving of Symposium Kit - composing of notebook, ID & lanyard, pen, sourvenirs, stickos, event itinerary, and badges.

As early as 8:00 AM, the ushers served breakfast, and bottled water - for free! I was not expecting that they have also prepared us lunch, dinner; as well as treats and freebies from sponsors, like 

• Creative
• Adobe 
• Neat.Io 
• AutoDesk
• UGee Philippines

There were roughly 90 content creators who attended; a mixed of veterans, just-getting-started, and mid-level famous creators; MayorTV, Pinoy Influencer & Host Jam were there and shared interesting facts and executable-do-it-your-self tips in the world of digital creation and content management.

Let's dive in to meat of the event, and learn from what it has offered and imparted to the audience.

- Formerly Adobe Spark mobile & desktop app, Belle Roxas and Rollan Banes led the discussion and showcased the tips and how-tos of using Adobe Express and Adobe Rush.

- These two apps are the app-to-use-on-the-go, quite user-friendly (similar to Canva) for content creators in the digital age.

3. PRIME for success Interactive Discussion from Host Jam

- One of the most interactive activity-game-immersion type of learning in the event.

5. The Editorial Policy

- An in-depth discussion of policies and guidelines in order to be a better functional content creator in this era of increasing digital contents (from extremes of good and bad, to lowkeys, impressive and virtue-aligned contents) which will help mold the future and direction of social media and consumption of digital assets.

- It's not how many likes or followers you have, the real question is, are you driven to create contents within the bounds of righteousness?

- Waiver of rights for your subject, the need for attributions and the importance of copyrights

- Other sensitive and important topics which aim to protect the content creator holistically and for the welfare of the human race, who, at any time can consume such digital contents in a snap of a finger because of the accessibility and availability of content creation.

My overall impression:

5 stars out of 5 stars  and super-enlightening. In conclusion, I do look forward in the future events such as this.

Lots of thanks go to CEBSI, its organizers, and the Administration of INC.

9 Ways To Be Effortlessly Confident

1. Start Working Out.

Nothing will increase your confidence like daily exercise.

You don't need to go overboard. Just 45 minutes of exercise per day can go a long way.

The increase blood flow and endorphins that are released will boost your confidence like nothing else.

2. Work On Your Appearance.

Make time for a basic grooming routine, and learn how to dress properly.

It's not difficult, simply wear clothes that compliment your body type.

3.  Adapt strong body language.

Body language has a huge impact on your confidence.

Negative body language can make you more nervous, unconfident, and awkward.

Stand tall, shoulders back, and keep your head up. 

4. Work towards your goal.

Achieving your goals will contribute greatly to your feelings of self-confidence.

This type of confidence stems from your abilities instead of vanity metrics, meaning it's here to stay.

5. Own Your Achievements.

Once you've reached your goals, it's important you own them.

You'd be surprised at how many people never talk about their accomplishments.

6. Change from Negative to Positive Mindset.

Simply thinking positively can change everything.

Instead of focusing on everything that can go wrong, start focusing on everything that can go right.

What you focus on, often becomes reality.

7. Practice Gratitude.

When you practice gratitude, fear disappears and abundance appears.

It's important to think about all the things you have to be grateful for, instead of what you don't have.

Stop approaching life with a negative mindset, and things will change.

8. Learn to Visualize

When you visualize something over and over again, your mind begins to believe that it has already happened.

When the situation finally arises, your brain thinks, "I got this!"

Remember that you get what you focus on.

9. Stick with Healthy Habits

Stop eating junk food, cut down time spent on social media for the sake of entertainment, use social media to acquire knowledge, increase smartness level.

Quit extensive hours of gaming.

Stop watching porn.

Quit recreational drugs.

Although they may seem harmless at the time, your bad habits have immense effects on your confidence and mental health.
