SoCon08 is coming

by Jeff Haynie on January 10, 2008 · Comments

We announced SoCon08 just a few weeks ago. I’m a little late to actually talk about it here because I’ve been traveling and extremely busy with the holidays.

And low and behold, Len announced today we’re already at 70 people registrants after just opening it up over a week or so ago.

If you don’t know what SoCon08 is — check out the details at the website.

SoCon08 is the 2nd annual social media event in the southeast. We started SoCon07 last year and had a huge turnout. This year looks to be even bigger and better. Last year’s event really expanded my network and I met some really great people through SoCon – including Grayson Daughters, Len Witt, James Harris, Tony Stubblebine, Amani Chanel, Joe Reger, Josh Hallet, Josh Watts, Michael Mealling, Raghu Kakarala, Michael Alvear, Jody Davis, Sherry Heyl, Adam Shafran and Lee Kantor — just to name a few of the many great people that made a difference in my life last year.

But if you haven’t signed up – you might consider doing it now. We have a limit and I anticipate like last year, we’ll sell out way before the event. You might also want to check out some of the participants already registered.

I’ll be hosting a table on entrpreneurship for Friday nights networking dinner. And on Saturday, I’ll be opening up the session with some short thoughts on where things have come and where things look to be going. Chris Heuer will be the keynote for the morning session and like last year we’ll break into individual discussion sessions unconference-style. I look forward to hearing about Chris’ perspective and how he sees things evolving in the social media context.

If you’re interested in demoing your wares in the afternoon session, please drop me a line for more details and to get your name in the hat.

We still have a couple of spots left for sponsorship. If you’re interested in a potential event sponsorship, please let me know for a sponsorship kit.

I look forward to seeing you there.
