Come Teach and Speak at Business Leader NW

beer-and-blog1I am looking for people who want to blog, teach and speak at Business Leader NW. I am at Beer and Blog right now, doing a bit of recruiting. Thanks to Beer and Blog for their support of Business Leader NW!

Marshall Kirkpatrick; Dawn Foster; Bram Pitiyo; Rick Turoczy; Amber Case and Justin Kistner, are on tap so far. To join us, you need to comment here on the blog. Commenting anywhere on the blog is fine. This post, on the Business Blog Pavilion tab, really, any post on the blog will due. I will find it.

I may have to cap the number of free passes I give to bloggers. So, sign up now and I will be sure to include you in the event!

Business Leaders NW is an event that will discuss best practices. It’s for people who are looking at what leaders are doing in business. The Business Blog Pavilion will serve as a place where attendees will learn about best practices in managing their digital network and how it affects all aspects of their operation.

Each discussion will preview what is upcoming in the day. In the Business Blog Pavilion, we’ll essentially serve as teachers and experts who can provide feedback on issues and topics of interest to the attendees.

At the Business Blog Pavilion, we’ll screen attendees so we pair them with the people who an best answer their questions.

I can’t do this without the community. I would love your help. I want to make it fun and exciting. If you know my events, I do try to make it fun. So, I promise, at least some entertainment will be on tap.

I am still working on the “entertainment.” But, I promise, you will be treated well. :)

We are giving out free passes to bloggers who want to meet and teach Northwest business leaders about blogging, web applications, open source and a host of other topics related to the social web. The goal is for business people and bloggers to meet and form relationships that lead to more companies hiring people who have the expertise to make local businesses successful in a down economy by using the web to their advantage.

We have a 400 square foot space for a “Blogger Pavilion” right on the exhibit floor at the Oregon Convention Center. That’s where the bloggers will gather to meet with the Pacific Northwest business community.

For your free blogger pass, please leave a comment on this post with your name, email and blog address. I will get touch with information about getting a free pass to the event.
