IZEAFest: Like an Obama, Palin, Arrington & CarrotTop Love Child
Imagine combining the best speakers, the best bloggers and Orlando fun into one event-packed conference and you'd have IZEAFest -- September 11-13.The speaker lineup is crazy, including top bloggers such as Merlin Mann (43folders.com), Jeremy Schoemaker (shoemoney.com), Tamar Weinberg (techipedia.com), Loren Feldman (1938media.com), Stephanie Agresta (internetgeekgirl.com), Loren Baker (searchenginejournal.com), Brian Clark (copyblogger.com), Etan Horowitz (Orlando Sentinel), Tony Hung (deepjiveinterests.com), John Chow (johnchow.com), Alexander Schek (fayerwayer.com), and Steve Spalding (howtosplitanatom.com) -- and that's less than half of them.
Bloggers, advertisers, entrepreneurs and social media butterflies will take over Orlando's Grand Bohemian to discuss topics such as:
- Improving Your Content
- Big Money Bloggers
- Growing Traffic
- What Advertisers Want
- Social Networking for Bloggers
- Compelling Video
- Tools & Plug-ins
- Blog Design
After a couple days of throwing down some knowledge, the event culminates Saturday night with IZEAHunt -- a multimedia team scavenger hunt throughout downtown Orlando. My suggestion: wear clothes you won't mind throwing away at the end of the night. For those still alive Sunday, Universal will experience a blogger takeover the likes of which they've never seen -- bloggers in shorts and tanks, scary...;-)
If you're interested in blogging, social media, online advertising or just Florida's startup/technology scene, don't miss IZEAFest. Whereas most conferences of this scale cost hundreds or thousands, the $65 ticket price is unheard of -- although you do have to consider the "ruined clothes" cost. I hope you join us!
For those of you that don't already know, IZEA is a portfolio company of mine. Oh, and for those of you still hoping for a picture of the Obama, Palin, Arrington, CarrotTop love child, here you go:
