PubCon Dallas 2010 – Networking and Fun – You Better be in Vegas!
Even though my blog name is Social Dude, I do not have a ton of time to blog (phone connected to ear lol ) so I am going to keep this short and sweet.
I have attended and had the honor of speaking at PubCon for quite a few years. (This year was about Social Media Metrics ) But, I have always gone to Vegas ( so cannot resists Vegas sometimes ). This was my first PubCon in Texas and all I can say is WOW with a capital W-O-W. I knew quite a few of the people at PubCon from passing conversations, but never really had the luxury of sitting down with everyone and having really meaningful conversations. Not just about Social, Search or Internet Marketing but really meaningful conversations that can truly impact the world around us. I came away from PubCon Dallas 2010 with a renewed sense of giving back to the community and realized that while we are in the digital, social or whatever age, business is still getting done the way it was for us all in the 90′s. Meeting, talking, networking and helping others solve a problem.
I would like to give props to everyone I met at PubCon Dallas (in no particular order)
