BlogPotomac Slated for June 13 at the State Theater
At last my co-chair Debbie Weil and I are happy to announce BlogPotomac’s date and location. BlogPotomac will be held on Friday, June 13 at the State Theater in Falls Church, Virginia.
Sponsored by Livingston Communications, The Point, Viget Labs and WordBiz, Inc., BlogPotomac seeks to provide a local “un-conference” on best marketing practices for the social media community in DC. Our goal is to provide advanced marketing insights beyond the average social media 101 event.
Our excellent line-up of seven keynotes includes:
Opening Keynote: Lionel Menchaca, digital media manager and chief blogger, Direct2Dell
Lunch Keynote: Frank Gruber, community manager, AOL and author of Somewhat Frank
Additional keynotes (in alphabetical order) will be given by:
- Social Media Group’s Maggie Fox on integrating social media
- Kami Huyse, Communication Overtones on ethics
- Author KD Paine on measurement
- Jeremy Pepper, The Point and Pop! PR Jots on strategy
Co-chair Debbie Weil will emcee with BlogOrlando Creator and BlogPotomac Advisor Josh Hallett. Without Josh and his original concept there would be no BlogPotomac. As the financier and organizer of the event, I’ve elected to pass on participation.
Because there will only be 150 seats, to recoup costs, and to avoid a Podcamp Boston situation, estimated ticket cost for the event will be $75. Financial accounting for the event will be open and published. Any profits from BlogPotomac will be donated to the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Our next task will be creating the BlogPotomac logo and site, publishing our full agenda, as well as opening registration. Stay tuned for more details.

Geoff, you are an Impresario (defined by Webster’s as a “ballyhoo man,” among other things). I’m looking forward to an awesome day on June 13th. And lots of planning before then. This is a first for the D.C. area and I am thrilled that we’re going to pull it off!
