Erickson founded FreeConferenceCall.com in 2001 on the simple principle that collaborative communication should be available to everyone, both affordably and efficiently.

Today, the company is the 3rd largest audio conferencing provider with nearly two billion call connections.
“In a world where fundraising rounds make headlines, it can be hard not to get caught up in the race for more venture capital,” said Erickson. “I am thrilled to share my knowledge with the next generation of trailblazers about how I remained debt-free, while building a successful global brand.”
Erickson’s keynote speech titled, ‘Why You Shouldn’t Raise Money,’ focuses on his experience as a founder and explains why bootstrapping was one of the best business decisions he ever made.
Startup Grind Global will be held February 12-14, 2018 in San Francisco, Calif., bringing together 5,000 founders, more than 40 keynote and fireside panels and over 50 exhibiting startups with the hope of educating, inspiring and guiding the next generation of innovators.
Alongside Erickson, other company executives on the roster include those from: Google, Houzz, Tesla, Oracle and many more.
Erickson heads from San Francisco to Fort Lauderdale to speak at ITEXPO 2018, February 13-16. ITEXPO is the premier event where telecom and IT professionals, C-levels, business owners, developers and the channel meet to collaborate.
Erickson’s presentation titled, ‘Applications Providers: The New Voice Provider,’ is scheduled for Thursday, February 15 from 2:30-2:55 p.m.
“The new normal for the telecommunications industry is ever-changing in this fast-paced arena,” says Erickson. “Our future will be shaped by new mindsets, new skill sets and new expectations — from developers and consumers alike — and from that, comes new applications.
