SOBCon 07:
When you join content-rich conversations with authentic relationships, you are bound to make an amazing experience.
Here’s what you can look forward to.
- Phil Gerbyshak’s conversation will explore how to create and grow relationships on your blog, and “how to be a relationship geek,” with 3 simple, but not easy, methods.
- Liz Strauss’s interactive discussion on the stages of building a high-trust environment, how our writing voice builds loyal readers and keeps them involved, and how to win when we let the community drive our blog.
- Brad, Sheila, and Marcus, who know how words make connections with readers
- David Armano, Creative VP at Digitas, will discuss how “conversation architecture,” visuals, and “experience design” can establish and enhance our brand, our community, and our place in the market.
- Jesse, who can see how a gamer might get over a wall, and he’ll be listening with the mind of a designer to be.
- Rodney Rumford and Ben Yoskovitz will talk about how Video Blogging and Podcasting can extend our reach and the wealth of opportunities we can offer to invite readers to be part of our blogs.
- Tony, who can diagnose a problem inside a plan and Tony D. Clark whose voice over talent could support the entire conference for at least 30 years.
- Andy Sernovitz, the man who wrote the book on Word of Mouth Marketing, is sharing his experience and expertise on how to get important people interested and talking about us.
- Tammy, who knows the people in every part of our job and the dynamics of conversation, and Lorelle on WordPress who can spread information faster than most bloggers.
- DrewMcLellan, Mike Sansone, and Mike Wagner, are discussing the ins and outs of making our brand contagious in the very best ways through customer-centered business blogging.
- Ashley, who brings a painter’s vision and delicate hand, Joe, who brings those grounding questions and computer expertise, and Jeff, who understands good to great and will get there.
- The Tools Panel: Chris Cree, Robyn Tippins, Diego Orjuela, and Vernon Lun will explore how widgets expand our audience through social networking, vocal interaction, and connections to other blogs.
- Tim and so many others, who bring the heart that calls folks to join with us, Steve, who is the extreme leadership that lifts us to try, and Dawud, who brings those goals he wrote that prove we express ourselves in our business.
- Wendy Piersall, just back from the Elite Retreat, will be talking about how to attract and keep readers in the audience beyond the blogosphere.
- Vernun, who knows how to celebrate others as part of our dream, >Robert, who will be there with a practical eye toward what is real, and Muhammed, who can’t help but provide energy and new ideas.
- Franke James and Timothy, who know the “group think” of the situation
- Our host, Terry Starbucker, Liz, and the Audience will blog critiques to answer the question, What Makes a Successful-Blog?

Mark Goodyear said
Awesome! I’m pumped!
Sheila at Family Travel said
Yay! Sleep is for sissies….more coffee!
Can’t wait.
Jesse Petersen said
2 more weeks!!! Is that long, or short? I can’t decide…
See you all there.
ME Strauss said
Hey Mark,
I’m all jazzed myself! I keep walking around think about how electric that room is going to be.
ME Strauss said
You got it, Sheila! I’m going to be living on coffee and hugs. And so much talking . . .
ME Strauss said
Jesse,
We have to have a toast to celebrate your acceptance in to the writing program. Life for you sure is changing!
Tony D. Clark said
Do you think people are going to be disappointed when I don’t sound like James Earl Jones?
Thanks for the kind words, Liz. I’m looking forward to meeting so many friends face to face.
Mark Goodyear said
I already live on coffee. And 2 weeks is short! Too short!
Mark Goodyear said
No wait, too long, too long!
ME Strauss said
Hi Tony,
You sound like you! And that’s so truly wonderful! I’m certain there will be no disappointment.
It will be so special.
ME Strauss said
Hi Mark!
Who knows? too short? too long? I need to figure out how I’m going to end my conversation. Oh no! It’s as everyone feared. I may never stop talking . . .
Char said
You all better take LOTS of pictures, blog about this and tell me what I am missed. I am so sad I can’t be there in person, but I will be there in spirit.
Have fun! If you haven’t registered yet and you are even thinking about going, get on it! You need to be there.
ME Strauss said
Hey Char!
LOTS of pictures!! I’m so lousy with a camera. Whew! It’s a good thing there’s going to be a bunch of other bloggers there.
And if you haven’t paid yet . . . we’d sure like to tie your registration up with a pretty red bow.
Dawud Miracle said
Tony, I second Liz - you’re you and that’s perfect.
I’m stoked to go. Two weeks seems like it’s going to fly by.
What’s everyone bringing to give away?
ME Strauss said
Hey Dawud,
I’m bringing my heart.
Tim Draayer said
Hey Liz - Add me to the list of people that can’t wait. I’m looking forward to giving my recent goals a real kick start at this event. See you there!
ME Strauss said
Hi Tim!
Consider yourself added. I’m looking forward to seeing you there with the rest of this crowd. I’m not sure the hotel is read for a group like this one.
Dawud Miracle said
Oh, that’s a given for you, Liz. Mine will show up with me as well.
