From November 1st through November 11th, if you need me, you’re gonna have to catch me on the road. Want to try? Early morning of the 1st, I’ll be flying from LA to Vegas for 2 days of gear-heads and car talk at the SEMA Show. I’ll catch a late flight out on the 2nd back to LA for the opening night speaker parties at Blogworld,...
I don’t plan a lot of events, but I certainly attend them. One thing I have noticed is that although social media events have probably quadrupled in the last year, the knowledge of how to make one a success with social media seems to be at a standstill. I have attended at least a dozen that haven’t had easily accessible power or the wifi has...
Tonight - Ladies 1st meeting.We will be tasting and voting on our favorite Wines, and of course, networking and connecting as well. This is a great group for Orange County women and was started by the awesome @emilyquestions. Info on how to RSVP (it’s free) is on the Ladies 1st Facebook page. Tomorrow night, after you vote, come see me in Laguna Beach for the Lumberyard...
A few weeks ago, I talked about the right way to plan a successful tweetup, and last Thursday night…ConnectOC certainly did just that. When you entered the Hilton Costa Mesa, it was well organized – and you had a group of people who led you through the process of getting checked in, paying for parking (which went to charity) and getting your goody bag ticket....
This year, I am finally getting to attend two conferences I have wanted to attend for a very long time – Blogworld in October and PubCon in November. Even more exciting? I will be speaking at PubCon on a panel – November 10th – Navigating The Complex Social Media Marketing World. I will be discussing the different key social media tools and the best ways to...
snapping pictures at the Sanyo & Social Rewards event last week Social media has made parties and party planning so much easier…which means there has been an explosion of events that are planned, promoted and talked about just through these channels. Almost everytime I turn around, I see a new twtvite shooting by, or am getting a facebook invitation. For consumer businesses, being part of one of...
With Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Blogging, it can feel like all you need to network is the internet. This is definitely not true. Just like 50 years ago, the best way to connect with new people is to meet them in person – social media just makes these connections a bit easier. Every area has their own events, and usually just asking some of your friends...
Last year, I wanted to go to Blogworld so badly, but just couldn’t figure out the logistics of getting there or how to afford the weekend of events and staying in Vegas. This year, however, I am going no matter what and am very excited about starting to plan the trip (yes, I know it is 6 months out…it’s the type-A in me). Anyway, last week,...
This past Saturday, 15 of the top women in Orange County on twitter took a trip to Temecula for a phenomenal wine tasting trip. It included a limo ride out, stops at three wineries, over 200 tweets, pics and FB updates and finally, a whole lot of wonderful pictures and memories. It was also entirely planned through the use of social media, with companies who...
