Conferences and workshops tend to blur together when you travel and speak as frequently as I do, so I appreciate getting involved in an event that’s focused more on education and discourse than on selling stuff, either from the podium or the exhibit hall. Don’t get me wrong, those sort of conferences can be valuable and I’ve definitely learned quite a bit attending those sort of events, but as a former research scientist, there’s much I prefer about getting together with a few hundred of the best people in the industry and exploring best practices together.
That’s why I am delighted to share with the Business Blog Consulting audience that I am not only going to be enthusiastically attending the upcoming Blog Business Summit in Seattle, but that I’m also going to be speaking a number of times, including a keynote talk on what I call “findability” and why blogs are such an important part of that equation.
The line up of speakers for the Summit reads like a who’s who of thought and influence leaders in the blogging world, including fellow BBC contributor Tris Hussey. It’s the last week of October on the waterfront in Seattle, and if you’re interested in business blogging or blog consulting, you’ll definitely want to learn more about the Blog Business Summit.
(If you’re interested in my comments and thoughts on the speaker lineup, and what I’m planning on talking about when I stand at the podium no less than four different times, please pop over to my thoughts on the Blog Business Summit)
And I’ll be blogging it all thanks to Tucows! I’ll even be there at the workshops to heckle you ;-).

[…] Well Dave already spilled the beans (here and here), yep I’m speaking at BBS at the end of the month. The question is, then, just what the heck am I speaking about. RSS Metrics. Oh boy, yeah. I wrote a bit about it on my blog already, but essentially what I’m going to help people work out is how to measure their audience on their blog. This, btw, is no mean feat. The reason Feedburner has been so successful is that they do give those metrics. But, my talk isn’t going to just be “Use Feedburner. Thank you. Any questions?”. That’s more than a little lame. Don’t ask me how I’m going to simplify the discussion, because I’m still noodling that around in my head (ouch).
