In exactly 18 days I will be landing in Las Vegas, Nevada to attend the BlogWorld & New Media Expo. According to the current schedule, there are over 200 speakers sharing their knowledge across almost 15 tracks in nearly 100 sessions in about 72 hours. Additionally, there will be five keynotes with three networking receptions and an opening night party, not to mention nearly 60 exhibitors in the showroom. Organization is important, but so is flexibility.
Alltop is one of the sponsors of the expo and Guy Kawasaki will be the afternoon keynote on Friday, September 19th at 12:45 p.m. in Room 223 during the Executive and Entrepreneur conference with Steve Rubel.
Alltop currently has 150 categories with several more being built and launched daily. I am looking forward to connecting with the site owners, authors and bloggers that are listed on Alltop. I mean, for almost six months we’ve been in email and Twitter conversations — it’s a great opportunity to not only put a face to the content, but network to improving both Alltop and their own websites.
For the site owners and bloggers not yet listed on Alltop — I want to meet you! We scour the internet, follow-up on suggestions and referrals to provide our readers with “all of the top” content in a respective category, let’s get you listed!
Here’s a list of sessions I will make a point of attending either for the subject or that I admire the speakers:
- How to Hire a Professional Blogger For Your Business featuring Gregory Go, Darren Rowse and Jim Turner.
- Twitter: Building the Connections that Drive Business featuring Laura Fitton, Tony Hsieh, Lucrietia Pruitt and Erin Kotecki Vest.
- Bloggers & PR featuring Chris Brogan, Michael Clark, Jason Falls and Brian Solis.
- A Blogging Business featuring Becky McCray and David Bullock.
In addition to those I’ve already listed, I look forward to lunch with Mike McAllen, CEO of Grass Shack Events and Media, laughing in real life as hearty as we do on Twitter with Tawny Press of Innoventions and any of the nearly 1,100 those following me on Twitter. Also, if you haven’t already mapped out a strategy I recommend Deborah Micek and Roxanne Darling during the Executing and Entrepreneur conference, both ladies also reside in Hawai’i.
Going to BlogWorldExpo? Let’s connect!

Awesome news, Neenz! I’m so looking forward to meeting you.
We arrive on Friday and will be there through Monday. I have not finished my list of speakers, but so far we are going to two of the same, Twitter Building the Conections that drive traffic as well as Bloggers & PR. See you on Twitter!
Neenz – I know you will be busy with alltop doings but maybe we can figure out some kind of Hawaii meetup and reception or something? I have not bought my tickets yet (today that is a must) so LMK your travel plans too.
Hi there—-I am one of your many Tweets and am on Alltop—-I am on the bubble about Blog Expo but your friendly post makes me really want to go! Hope to see you there!
