Introduce yourself to our Blogger's Connect Keynote Speaker
By Daniel Rothamel, Inman Community Manager, Monday, May 18, 2009.Bookmarking Sites
The program for Blogger's Connect SF '09 is filling out very nicely. The entire day is jam-packed with information and tips that everyone from the novice to the expert will find useful.
As Blogger's Connect continues to evolve in order to meet the needs of the audience, there have been all kinds of changes. This year, you'll notice that some of the time slots have two sessions. This will help people maximize their time and learning potential by choosing the session that best fits their needs and level of expertise.
The Blogger's Connect Keynote is gonna ROCK!
Another big change to the program this year is the rebirth of the Blogger's Connect Keynote. We didn't want to bring the keynote back unless we could find someone who we knew would blow away our audience with knowledge and useful takeaways. There was much debate and discussion over who could do this the best, and when all was said and done, we were thrilled to announce that Sonia Simone, Senior Editor of Copyblogger.com, will be this year's Blogger's Connect Keynote speaker.
Copyblogger was one of the first blogs that I found when I started blogging a few years ago, and am I glad that I found it. On a regular basis the writers at Copyblogger share their insights and expertise on how to make dynamic, compelling content that will not only attract new readers and customers, but get them to act, so that you can grow your business.
Sonia Wants to Get to Know You a Little Better
After graciously accepting our invitation to be the keynote speaker, Sonia asked if she could get to know a little bit more about the Blogger's Connect audience. Like any good presenter, she wants to make sure that the content she is delivering is not only relevant, but also valuable. She asked if we could send her some examples of real estate and mortgage blogs so that she could get a feel for the audience.
I could have picked 20 or so and sent them to her, but what fun would that be? One of the great things about being the Community Manager for Inman News is that I get to engage our community and watch it grow. I thought it would be kinda presumptuous of me to send a list of blogs to Sonia, so I'm asking for a little help from the community of Blogger's Connect attendees.
If you are planning on attending Blogger's Connect SF '09, and you have a blog, leave a link to the URL as a comment on this post (NO KEYWORD LINKING! SERIOUSLY.)
I'll make sure that Sonia reads the post, and she can see for herself the kind of bloggers that will be in San Francisco. How's that sound?
So, do yourself a few favors-- 1) Head on over to Copyblogger.com so that you can make yourself a little more familiar with Sonia (you can follow her on twitter, too), and 2) Leave your blog URL in the comments so that she can get to know you better.
Don't Miss Out!
And hey, if all of this sounds like great fun and and awesome opportunity to learn from the best in the business-- that's because it is! Don't be left out of the fun. Register for Connect SF '09 right now!
See you in San Francisco!
