Next week Greg, Rebecca and I will be heading to Pubcon in Las Vegas.  Pubcon is always one of my favorite conferences because I get to see so many old friends, learn a bunch of new things and perhaps most importantly, meet some great new connections.  In the Internet marketing industry having a strong network of people to work with, refer business to, bounce ideas off of and help you grow your business is one of the most important things that I can think of.  A conference like Pubcon is a great place to help build that network.  Be sure to check out Rebecca’s great post from yesterday about 7 Ways to Network and Be Social at Conferences to help make this easier for you.

10e20 Session Schedule

Here’s a quick look at our session schedule for the week:

I will be speaking on the first session of the first day (it starts at 10am and is in Salon C – be there!

Twitter Landscape – Hot Topics and Trends

Date: 11/10/09 (Tuesday)
Time: 10am
Location: Salon C

Twitter is the trending topic. Find out more about the state of the tweetscape and where things are headed. We’ll take a look at where Twitter is and where it’s headed. If your strategy doesn’t include Twitter, your marketing campaign is incomplete.

This session is moderated by Krista Neher and will also have Warren Whitlock, Dan Zarrella & Kate Morris dropping their Twitter knowledge.

On Wednesday I will be moderating (with the help of Greg Finn on Q&A) a really cool session called:

Social Media & Press Relations
Date: 11/11/09 (Wednesday)
Time: 1:30pm
Location: Salon C

The relationship between social media and press relations is red hot. Companies and PR agencies all over the country are have problems setting policy on how to tweet, when they tweet, who is cleared to tweet, and what about Facebook? Should my company be worried if our CEO puts a new resume on LinkedIn?

We have some great speakers for this one, such as Guillaume Bouchard, Pat Strader, Giovanni Gallucci & Joanna Lord.

Then our very own Rebecca Kelley has a great presentation lined up for this session on Day 2:

Going For the Gold – Optimizing for the Social Media Pay Day
Date: 10/11/09 (Wednesday)
Time: 2:55pm
Location: Salon C

This session will discuss the latest ways to engage social media and prove that it is a viable revenue source.

This session will be moderated by Dixon Jones and Rebecca will be joined by Big Dave Snyder, Jay Berkowitz, and Reem Abeidoh.

Networking & Having Fun

The majority of my time at Pubcon will be spent meeting with people.  I already have a ton of meetings setup (hint – use your social networks ahead of time to put the word out and start setting up meetings).  Another big event that will be going on is…

dk’s Super Happy Funland in Vegas

Actually, I’m not sure what he’s actually calling his week of events, but that’s what they will equal.  Check out the whole lineup on Puropose Inc.  The main event that will cap it off is his now famous Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Tournament which takes place starting at 8pm at the Mirage Hotel.  If you want to be a part of it, check out this post here.

We hope to see you there!  As always, mention this post to me and I’ll buy you a drink of your choice!
