Going to ConvergeSouth 2010 in Greensboro? Of course you are…
Small business owner? Budding entreprenuer? At all curious about the practical side of social media? Live pretty much anywhere remotely near North Carolina?
Then I’d recommend signing up for the upcoming ConvergeSouth 2010 conference in Greensboro NC, October 1-2. It’s less than 100 bucks to attend ($10 if you’re a student!), as it’s organized through volunteer labor for the benefit of the regional business and creative communities. This is not a profit-seeking venture by any means.
Yes, I’m a volunteer, presenter and moderator for this year’s event, so I have a vested interest in getting everyone I can to show up (my ego hurts talking to empty seats). My specific sessions will be announced shortly, as they are still taking shape, but if either one comes off remotely as interesting as I hope, they’ll be some of the most fun I’ve ever had at a conference.
I say that with all modesty: They’ll rock, outshone only by all the other great sessions from Brent Payne (Tribune Co’s SEO Director), Wayne Sutton, Jeffrey Cohen, Jeff SanGeorge, and Tammy Colson among others; a startup Pitch Camp organized by John Cass; and a bevy of local politicians talking about how the Web affects politics.
@ConvergeSouth10 is the longtime labor of love of @SuePolinsky, and has a stellar group of volunteers working on it this year. Come join what’s been called the South’s original social media event, support the Piedmont-Triad social media community, and maybe learn something along the way.
