I put a lot on the line with this event.
I’ve been a huge fan and participant of The Web Association for years.
Recently, we were talking and they mentioned that they would like to try an event in Akron.
The first idea that came to mind was a social media event featuring the Akron-Canton Airport. They are doing some world-class, cutting edge social media tactics. I really wanted this to be the first event.
Everyone at the Web Association thought it was an awesome idea.
I then talked to Kristie VanAuken, the airport’s Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing & Communications Officer about the idea. Because of her extreme awesomeness (you’ll see what I mean) she was all about it.
But here’s where it got tricky. The Web Association was concerned about having the event too far south. They were afraid they might not get enough people at the event.
But it seemed like the place to have the event was right at the airport.
I really pushed for them to try it here. They said it was a huge risk because if we didn’t get a good turnout we might not be able to do another Akron / Canton event.
But I knew my Akron and Canton peeps would totally come through.
And sure enough, the event is filling up fast.
But I don’t want the attendance to just be “good.” I want The Web Association to be blown away!
So, let’s show those Clevelander’s what we’ve got. Let’s fill this puppy up!
If you are available:

The list of things I like about life is MUCH longer than the things I don't like about life. So, since you don't have all day reading about the mundane things I love (some of which, btw, include: Rocky, Indy, SageRock, movies, pizza, cheesecake, running, exploring.) here are the things I don't like:
Driving
Meetings
Zucchini (I like it fine. I'm just allergic.)
I think that's pretty much it.

I’m all for tehe social media event at the Akron/Canton Airport. Maybe the next event could be held someplace around Fairlawn, which is a little bit closer to the Cleveland people, but local for the Akron/Canton people.
This was actually last year. So we’re still cool
