Day 1 is in the books and Day 2 is about to get underway for the 3rd Annual Blog Indiana conference in Indianapolis, IN. This year I had the honor to be selected as a speaker for the event at their Social Media 101 event that happened on Thursday afternoon. My session was titled “The Blogger’s Toolbox” and there will be some posts to come to give more details on the tools I spoke about in my session.
For this post though I want to focus on drawing attention to just how great of an event this continues to be. If you’re not sure what it’s all about, check-out this promo video that my friend John Uhri (@y0mbo) about this year’s event.
John has always done these great sketch notes of the sessions he attends, these things should be collectibles and framed!
Noah Wesley (@noahwesley) and Shawn Plew (@hoosierplew) have continue to do an amazing job with this event. Every year they’ve got great speakers speaking on great topics. The keynotes are always engaging and informative as well. It really is a world-class event.
You’ll be informed and entertained with presenters that I’ve enjoyed getting to know and hang-out with over the years at previous conferences, Tweetups, social media events and a variety of coffee shops around the city of Indianapolis.
Folks like Douglas Karr (@douglaskarr) author of the new "Corporate Blogging for Dummies"
that was just published (co-authored with Chantelle Flannery (@chantellef)), Kyle Lacy (@kyleplacy) that wrote "Twitter Marketing For Dummies"
and has a new book coming out in December that he wrote with my other friend Erik Deckers (@edeckers) who’s an amazingly witty humor writer. You’ll also be impressed with the wit and insight from the most interesting female blogger I know, Casey Mullins (@mooshinindy) and amazing photographer. Casey shared on how to tastefully sell yourself online and what you should probably be thinking about if you’re not. Then there’s Robby Slaughter (@robbyslaughter), who’s probably the most intelligent person I’ve ever met and shares some great insights on workflow and productivity process for business and bloggers alike. Robby recently published his book “Failure: The Secret to Success”, which should be an interesting book on what to learn from what didn’t work.
There’s so many more great speakers and presenters that were involved with this event, but to find out more about all of them you can visit the speaker’s page at the Blog Indiana website.
If you have anything to do with social media or want to learn more about what’s happening, be sure and put Blog Indiana 2011 on your schedule for next year. I can guarantee you it will be worthwhile!
