March Madness
March 10th, 2008
This is officially conference insanity. I just came from Ireland, where I gave the opening keynote address at BlogTalk 2008. Awesome conference and I met some great folks for the first time. Cork, of course, is an old haunt and I love Murphy’s. Pat Phelan again saved my bacon (more about that in another post)
Now I’m in Austin at South by SouthWest (SxSW). It’s my first time here… total zoo, and I’m loving it. SxSW is Twitter central and you can’t do anything if you’re not using it. We had a Fire Eagle party that was off the charts.
Then, In late March, I’m speaking at the ICE Conference in Toronto. Sarah and Ian always put on excellent conferences, so that should be good fun.
The one I’m most looking forward to, however, is the Content Convergence and Integration conference in Vancouver next week. I’m giving a keynote address there and will be touching on XML in the travel industry (a space I know a little bit about). There’s a good interview with Rahel Bailie here.
This is all good on-the-ground practice as I put a few cycles into Confabb , which now has over 65k conferences in its database.
