Time Well Spent

Next week (July 16-18) is The Conclave. I hope you can make it to Minneapolis this year!

Not the easiest year to find a way to make it here, but it will be worth it if you can. It's always a great gathering--great people, great ideas, great sessions, and of course our fantastic summer weather here in Minneapolis.

I will be moderating a panel this year:

Saturday 10A Management-Programming Track/Session #5-Airchecking Your Website Sarah van Mosel, Vice President of Sales, InterTech Media; Harve Alan, President, Have Alan Media. The website is more than just a place for jock photos – it’s a full-blown sales and marketing tool. Our faculty will share actionable information and examples to help you make your web site the best it can be

This is a subject near and dear to my heart and I am happy to share my thoughts and ideas with you!

Also, please check out this session:

Thursday 5P Tech-Interactive Track/Session #2 – A Tale of Two Podcasts Presenters: Dawn and Drew Domkus "The Dawn and Drew Show", Brian and Mike "The Brian and Mike Show", Moderator: Phil Wilson, Director ADM. It seems like podcasts are as plentiful as, well, i-pods. Is anybody listening? Is anybody making money? In this session, two successful podcast shows, one created by radio broadcasters and the other by "civilians", talk about how they got into podcasting, what they are doing to grow an audience and what, if anything they are doing or plan to do to generate revenue. Join Dawn and Drew Domkus of "The Dawn and Drew Show" and Brian and Mike of "The Brian and Mike Show" for this must-attend session for anyone who is currently podcasting or thinking about whether podcasting is the right move.

I've been working with Brian and Mike since before the launch of their podcast, and as you will learn at the session things have gone exceptionally well. Great content will always find an audience and that is exactly what has happened.

I hope to see you at The Conclave.
