Will Speak For Food

I wanted to let you know that I’ll be speaking to the Albuquerque, New Mexico Chamber of Commerce on April 20th this month.

The title of my presentation is “Social Media: Why This Is Different“.

I’m excited about this, in particular, because I feel like I’m on to something new in this arena.

For years, I’ve often referenced Friedman’s book, “The World is Flat” in relation to how social media is effecting commerce and communication.

But I’ve recently come upon a concept that pushes this even further. I discussed it in my most recent ClickZ article:  “No One Cares About Your Products”.

I was influenced by a speech I heard from David Meerman Scott, bestselling author of “The New Rules of Marketing and PR” and the new book “World Wide Rave.”

I now believe that if we, as companies, don’t truly understand the tectonic shifts that are occurring in marketing today, we will be completely sidelined in the conversation. Our prospects will make a point of ignoring what we have to say.

So, that’s what I’m going to be talking about.

But here’s where you come in, they asked me if I knew of anyone that would like to be a sponsor of the event. I said I’d ask around and see if there were any takers.

This is the information they sent me:
