Dear Get Real reader,
There's still time to fill the few empty seats available for BlogOn 2004: the Business of Social Media (www.blogonevent.com) this Thursday and Friday at UC Berkeley. If you ask me, you'll be missing a big chance to catch a fast-forming, vital wave of new opportunity. Our two-day, content-packed conference on the business of social media. The more I communicate with the more than 50 panelists and presenters, the more juiced I get about the conference. I'd like to thank you again for deciding to be part of this watershed event and I want to offer advice for everyonecome early and stay late. BlogOn will begin and end on strong notes, and as I peruse the agenda, what's in-between is potent as well.
If you act now we'll even knock $100 off the full price -- but act now. This special offer is only good for the next 36 hours.
Here's what you'll see:
Our executive boot camp (http://tinyurl.com/6hdtv) will demystify the tools of blogging and their incredible power as well as explain its sometimes daunting language. Notable members of this blossoming technology's growing pioneer brigadeSusan Mernit, partner at 5ive; Ross Mayfield, CEO of Socialtext; JD Lasica, journalist, uber blogger and imminent author; Halley Suitt, senior editor of Worthwhile Magazine; Steve Rubel, vice president, client services of CooperKatz & Company and Mary Hodder, web products manager at Technorati will provide close personal attention to participants.
At 6 p.m. Thursday, our cocktail reception will set the tone for general session attendees, executive boot camp participants, panelists, presenters in the ambience of UC Berkeley's Faculty Club. Then, our kick-off panel featuring AlwaysOn's Tony Perkins, AOL's Bill Schreiner, CNET's John Roberts and Yahoo's Scott Gatz will paint The Big Picture in bold brushstrokes.
Friday is content-packed. We'll be presenting a series of interactive panels, company presentations and audience-interactive sessions. If Thursday's panel paints the Big Picture, Friday's informative and insightful panelists will etch in the details.
Our closing panel will follow the thinking of the private investment community. Sequoia Capital's Mark Kvamme; Martin Tobias of Ignition Partners and Anna Zornosa of Knight Ridder Digital will give clarity to which business models make senseor don'tfrom the private placement perspective.
Finally, on Friday night, there will also be an informal blogger dinner, at Pyramid Brewing Company in Berkeley, where you can socialize with folks after the conference. If you are interested in attending the dinner, you can register in the BlogOn Wiki, here: http://www.socialtext.net/blogon/index.cgi?blogon_dinner
