Hi pals,
Mom's getting pretty psyched about
BarkWorld this year! The first Social Media Conference she ever attended was the BarkWorld Expo in 2010. She still can't believe that she managed to go, since she's basically pretty shy and back then, wasn't so thrilled with flying… Boy she's come a long way! I was well represented by my doppleganger, "Pru On A Stick", since I don't fly, BOL!
(Yep, here I am hanging with the Shibberin' Cheetos and the Hookalopes!)
She was so glad that she went. She was able to meet so many of our Twitter pals fur the first time. Attending the sessions taught her a lot too!
Last year's BarkWorld was even better! There was so much more for her to learn and she was able to make some great connections with possible sponsors. She had such a good time with her online pals too, both the humans and the pets!
Well this year, BarkWorld is going to be a blast! The line up of speakers is amazing. Among the keynote speakers:
Brent Herd, the Southeast Director of Twitter, Inc. (Twitter baby!),
Matt Meeker, co-founder of Meetup.com,
Andy Nibley, the writer/director of the HBO Documentary
"Madonna of the Mills", and
Ed Sayres , the CEO of the ASPCA.
The sessions are pretty impressive too! So many great choices! Social Petworking, Dog Yoga, Digital Scrapbooking, the list goes on! Then the fun stuff! A "Howl-oween" Pawty!, sponsored by the Atlanta Dog Spa & Petco. Themed Block Pawties and Prize Giveaways!
One of the latest exhibitors to be added to the list is The Barktender's Guide"! Now many of you know that I often barktend at Twitter Pawpawties and at #NipClub so we're very excited to see this!
The BarkWorld Expo opens on Thursday October 25 and runs through Saturday October 27 at the Westin Buckhead in Atlanta, Georgia. Mom hopes that she'll see you in Atlanta at BarkWorld!
