I’m back from Blog World Expo and I’m still catching up on work, but I did have a chance to write a recap on my personal blog, for those that may be interested. It was great to see and meet so many people at the conference!

I’ve been talking about it for quite a while now, but with Blog World Expo almost here, I wanted to go ahead and post my full appearance schedule. Please let me know if you are going to be coming to any of the following. I look forward to meeting a lot of new people.

10:00 AM – 11:00 AM: Book Store on Second Floor (RSVP on Facebook)
Book Signing: “Managing Online Forums”
Joined by Rohit Bhargava, Senior Vice President of Digital Strategy & Marketing at Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide. He’s the author of “Personality Not Included” and we’ll both be signing copies of our respective books.

12:15 PM – 1:15 PM: Room 219
Panel: “How to Deal with Trolls, Spammers & Sock Puppets”
Joined by Rick Calvert, Founder of Blog World Expo, John Chow of John Chow dot Com, The Tech Zone and TTZ Media and Jeremy Schoemaker of ShoeMoney.

If I may borrow a line from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

My book signing at Blog World Expo will be a dual signing, as I’ll be joined by Rohit Bhargava, the Senior Vice President of Digital Strategy & Marketing at Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide. He’s the author of “Personality Not Included: Why Companies Lose Their Authenticity And How Great Brands Get It Back.”

The signing is on September 21 at 10:00 AM and will be at the bookstore on the second floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Immediately before, Bhargava will be giving the opening keynote for the day, joined by Timothy Ferriss of “The 4-Hour Workweek” and Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park. (My brother is quite envious, as he’s a huge Linkin Park fan).

As I’ve mentioned, I’m going to be on a panel at Blog World Expo called “How to Deal with Trolls, Spammers and Sock Puppets.”

When I was on on Blog World Expo Radio on Friday, Rick Calvert, the founder of the conference, told me that a fourth panelist had joined the lineup. It’s Jeremy Schoemaker, better known as ShoeMoney. In addition to myself and Mr. Schoemaker, the panel will also feature Rick and John Chow.

One of the reasons I wanted to bring this up was so that I could point to today’s post on his blog, where he is asking for feedback on what we should talk about. So, if you have any thoughts, please feel free to let him know. It should be a great panel.

As Tropical Storm Hanna heads for me, I’ll be interviewed live on Blog World Expo Radio today at 3:00 PM ET. The Blog World Expo conference is fast approaching. If you are attending, please come to my panels and/or signing! My schedule is on the book website.

I’ll also be appearing on Zane Safrit’s show on Wednesday at 10:30 AM ET.

So, if you’re free, please tune in and participate! Thanks.
