It seems like I am on the road a lot more, and doing more private speaking engagements these days (original image taken in the Blue Ridge last October). But I will be appearing at two San Francisco conferences and one Chicago event over the next two weeks. Here are the details:
1) NTC: Looks like I have to leave SF early and won’t appear on Tuesday, April 28th’s Rational Pursuit of Change panel, but I will still be giving a blogging workshop Sunday afternoon (the 26th). Come on by if you are already registered for NTC, which is sold out.
2) On Monday, the 27th in SF, I will be at the first day of SNCR’s NewComm Forum one of my favorite social media conferences out there… Last year’s was very enjoyable as the content is vastly superior, only rivaled by Gnomedex. I am honored to appear not once, but twice. First, I will be facilitating the opening Keynote Conversation with Charles Best, Founder, DonorsChoose.org. Later that morning, Shashi Bellamkonda and I will discuss our SNCR Commendation of Excellence and IABC Gold Quill award winning social media program for Network Solutions.
If you are in SF, and have not registered for NewComm Forum, do so. It’s the most bang for your buck of any Internet communications conference out there. I’ll be there all day, so looking forward to catching up.
3) I’m looking forward to SOBCON (May 1-3), the production of blogger genius Liz Strauss. This is my first SOBCON, but I’ve heard outstanding things about this serial event. And it’s in Chicago, too, my first trip back since last year’s Lollapalooza festival (heh, heh). My session on Saturday is integrating on and offline communications. This is the next frontier for communications managers, so I hope you can make it. I will also be there on Friday for networking purposes.
And if you are in DC please register for BlogPotomac. Two months out and we’ve only got 1/3 of the inventory of tickets left. We won’t be making more available.
