Find Chris

September 17, 2008 · Comments

Meet Me on the Left Coast Over the next several days, I’m going to be all over the place. I’ll be going out to Las Vegas to attend BlogWorld Expo, until Monday morning, and then off to Santa Barbara for a client visit. From there, I’ll be heading up to Los Angeles late Tuesday night for ITEC Los Angeles, with James Gaskin. I do Wednesday, and give it over to Sean Percival for Thursday. On Thursday, I have a client visit, and then I’ll be at Streaming Media West for the first part of Thursday. It’s a lot to absorb.

18 Thursday – Blog World Expo, Las Vegas
19 Friday – Blog World Expo, Las Vegas
20 Saturday – Blog World Expo, Las Vegas
21 Sunday – Blog World Expo, Las Vegas
22 Monday AM – Las Vegas
22 Monday PM – Santa Barbara, CA
23 Tuesday – Santa Barbara, CA
23 Tuesday PM – Los Angeles, CA
24 Wednesday – Los Angeles, CA
24 Wednesday PM – San Jose, CA
25 Thursday – San Jose, CA

(Then, don’t bug me). : )

**Updated the dates, because I’m a goof and @GirlPie fixed them for me.**

Business Conversations

I’d like to meet with businesses looking to understand their next moves in social media, both for internal enterprise uses as well as external new media marketing uses. If you’re wondering about your 2009 budget and plan, and you want to start a conversation about the kinds of things you could be doing in this space, I’d love to have that conversation. Drop an email to blog at chrisbrogan dot com with some suggested times and dates for a meeting.

Social Media Types

I’m starting to look for people who want to pursue social media consulting, and who could fulfill opportunities such as building content marketing strategies, training people in the use of various tools, building case study material, researching, and delivering information to prospective clients. I’d also want to talk to a few speakers and social media evangelists, but who I want more are people who can execute, and who have some ability to both do and speak, not just speak.

Friends and Friends I’ve Yet to Meet

I *really* am excited to talk with you. I love meeting folks I know mostly from the web. Please, let’s get together. I don’t really like doing meals with groups of people at events. I’d rather say hi to you in the halls at the event, or we can get a cup of coffee, or a beer, or coffee-flavored beers. Don’t be shy to reach out to meet me. I’m a feller just like you. I have someone else put my pants on one leg at a time.

So, you have my contact info. You have my Twitter account. You have a sense of where to stalk me. Let’s connect.

Work for you?

ChrisBrogan.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress

Thesis WordPress theme

For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like ChrisBrogan.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

  • That's intense Chris. See you in Vegas. Then I'm going home, sorry!
  • You were missed at TC50 this year
    Nice pic :-)
  • Hey Chris,

    We need to get you down here to San Diego, California soon!

    I am a young entrepreneur bootstrapping an integrated online marketing and communications consultancy after being a victim of layoffs earlier in the year. Would love to pick your brain sometime and see if there is a way to collaborate on some projects.

    Cheers,

  • Chris, are you using Dopplr to track your travel? It's pretty cool. I just added it to my blog the other day.

    See you at Digital Marketing Mixer in Scottsdale. I'm speaking on some email panels.

    Cheers,

  • If you are in LA/Santa Monica area, have some space time, and want to stop into the Core Performance Center for a workout/tour let me know
  • I can't believe it, it's so rare that someone comes through my hometown Santa Barbara, and I'm out of town those days. I would have loved to meet you in person.
  • Chris, looking forward to finding time to bump into you at Vegas at BlogWorldExpo. You can find me at 408 646 2759, as always.
  • Hi Chris, I'm coming to the Bay area all the way from South Africa, but will miss you by one week. Anyway, will be settling in Palo Alto in the near future, so wll stay in touch and hope to meet you in person.

    Regarding Business Conversations, we're a new consumer Internet service and I would love to speak to you about social media for external new media marketing use. Not sure how we can accomplish that?

    Regards
    Kevin
  • Excellent. I'll see you in Vegas!

    Santa Barbara...oh, man. I haven't been there in years. What a beautiful, perfect little place.
  • I'm going to try out iTec in LA. I hope to get a chance to talk. I'm an aspiring social media type. :)
  • Can't wait to meet you in Vegas. I will have my "Chrisdar" powered up...
  • Shame you're not in Europe, Chris. Sweden needs people like you taking the conversation to the next level. That aside, as a man who does words, I just loved this post: you really nailed the brief in a tone that was professional and inviting. I'm bookmarking it for that alone. I don't think I've seen a better "lets connect" post on a blog before.

    Have a great trip.

    great to sit in/twitter in to your conversation today with Mike, thank you for hosting that! Good luck with your whirlwind tour [did you know that twirling-- actual twhirling where your put your arms out and turn in circles--helps to rebalance the body after plane travel?! you'll look silly so do it in private]

    I want to know when you'll do an online course of study....maybe your students could then execute some of the smm stuff for you while they learn? keep me posted...
  • Sadly I have to manage client engagements here in Toronto. Chris, you are one man on my short list of those I want to meet...ever in T.O.?

  • @GirlPie - ah crap. Oh well.. You caught me. I'll be somewhere at some point. : )
  • GirlPie
    Didn't mean to blow your cover... no one's seen it, yank it if you'd rather... this too ~
  • I am on the East Coast rather than West and probably won't make it West until next year, but I've been brainstorming how public safety/law enforcement could leverage social media. Haven't gotten too far because I only just got into it myself, but that's why I'm following you!
  • Hey Chris,
    That's a pretty intense schedule you have going there. I just recently subscribed to your blog after reading about you on various other sites like Seth Godin and Problogger.net and would love to meet you at Blog World Expo. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it out this year and am kicking myself over it. In fact, I just wrote a post called "7 Things You Can Do If You’re Not Going to Blog World Expo" - http://www.winningtheweb.com/not-going-to-blog-... for all of us left behind.

    This looks to be a crazy event. Have fun!
  • Wait--NO ONE has commented on the Jill Greenberg-esque-ness of Chris's photo on this post?

    (Looking forward to seeing your face in L.A., Chris, shiny-Photoshopped or not!)
