Blog World Expo Photo Roundup 1

Blogging Strategy, Marketing PR Conferences, Online Marketing, Other Events

Blog World Expo in Las Vegas this weekend is by far the most social, friendly and generally “buzzing” conference I’ve been to in a while. Bloggers are opinionated, natural networkers. Many bloggers might not be as open in other situations, but here amongst several thousand other like-minded individuals, people open up. Plus, it’s Vegas baby.

Here are a few of my favorite photos so far from Blog World Expo:

    Hey Lee,

    The PR panel was awesome…it’s so amazing how the web has finally made PR ‘do things right’ in general. Very cool.

    I actually learned a few things after hanging at BWE08 and I also met some amazing people, with a couple of them being the concrete mixer guys. How great was that?

    I decided to snag some video of some of the more interesting people like the concrete guys…you can check it out over here if you get a chance:

    Hope to see you soon…glad that you liked the event as much as I did 🙂

    Ryan

    Lee, thanks for giving the Cart-Away guys some love. Talk about a leap of faith. I liked the mix of ages that was there. There were many, many adults there that are working hard to accomplish something and ensure that this show will grow very quickly.

    I love the way you always get photos as you go, Lee.It’s a wonderful way to help readers get some of the flavor of what it was like to be at an event, for which words alone cannot suffice. Great to see you as always.
