If you follow Dennis Kennedy on Twitter you've already seen this, but if you don't and you're planning to attend ABA TECHSHOW 2009, you really should check out Chris Brogan's 27 Things to Do Before A Conference (http://www.chrisbrogan.com/27-things-to-do-before-a-conference/).
Chris blogs on social media, and his recent post has some great suggestions on how to use technology before a conference to make sure you get the most from it, and the networking opportunities it offers, once you arrive. There are some super ideas about using Twitter to make sure you meet the people you want to meet, and also some useful ideas on how to maximize your exposure on your own blog or through Twitter as you comment on the conference, maximizing your ROI on the cost of admission. And to help you tweet throughout TECHSHOW, we've just added a roundtable session titled All Atwitter: What's the Buzz About Microblogging, to be led by Tom Mighell, Dominic Jaar and Catherine Reach, at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday. Novice users of Twitter will learn how to follow all their favorite speakers and not miss a bit of the content or fun, and those who are experienced tweeters are welcome to come and share their secrets.
We're less than 3 weeks away from the opening day of ABA TECHSHOW 2009 now, and I'm really looking forward to meeting up with old friends and making new ones. I could not be prouder of the job our great planning board has done this year in putting together a must-attend conference. See you soon in Chicago
