Next couple weeks have some exciting conversations, where I'm excited about taking online conversations offline, listening and learning together with people I get to meet.....It's a great part of the job.
Atlanta: While I am no Diva, I get to join Atlanta's Diva marketing guru and Dell customer, Toby Bloomberg. If you don't read her blog, you are missing something. True to this online world, I've never met Toby, but can't wait based on the impressive, helpful and enjoyable online interactions I have had with her to date.
And, what a great event: the AiMA - Atlanta Interactive Marketing Association -Social Media Marketing Gets Some Respect! Feb. 27, 2008 - 6:30 PMGA Tech Global Learning Center 84 5th ST NW, Atlanta, GA, 30308 . Goodwill, Home Depot, moderated by Geoff Livingston, author of "Now is Gone" (I am still passing out copies of his book at Dell). Im looking forward to learning from them all and sharing the journey we are on.
Austin: If you are going to be in Austin for SXSW interactive, have we got some good things going.
March 11, our own Lionel , will join moderator Mack Collier, who does great corporate blog reviews, and measurement and communications guru Kami to talk about future directions for corporate blogs.
March 10 We are going to blow out online connections and make them even more real offline. A special night of "Conversation Starters" (social evening, event RSVP required) sponsored by Dell (we are going to be listening), Federated Media, BulldogSolutions, The Conversation Group and Social Media Club of Austin.
Over drinks and appetizers, you'll have a chance to share ideas with a number of people who have volunteered to start conversations: Shel Israel, Robert Scoble, Jeremiah Owyang, Charlene Li, Chris Heuer, Mack Collier and Lionel Menchaca, as well as several Federated Media authors.

Richard - Excited to meet you in the off digital world. Thanks for sharing the Dell Story with Atlanta marketers.
Appreciate your over the top kind words. Connie suggested I bring a pink boa for you .. perhaps I'll just wear one so you'll recognize me "under the dinosaur." ;-)
Richard, really enjoyed your presentation. Are you going to upload the power point you shared anywhere? I would love a copy of it. Thanks!
Hi Billy packer is painful...feel free to contact me about a copy of what you are interested in...are you facebook or linked in, message me there, or gmail me
Richard - with your permission, we can upload your the AiMA presentation on AiMA site along with those from Goodwill of Greater Washington and TheHomeDepot.
By the way RichardAtDell was brillant!
Hey Richard - it was great to get a chance to meet you on Wednesday, and I enjoyed hearing from both you and Brendan. Hope to cross paths again someday soon.
BTW, I'm jealous you will be so close to SXSW...
Richard,
Sounds as if you have lots of good stuff going on.
