Social Media Speaker Interviews from @midwest conference

There’s something about going back home. And although it’s not quite on same block, it’s in the same part of the country. On Thursday, I’m honored to be speaking with so many talented social media folks @midwest at Heartland Community College in Normal, Illinois.

If you’d like to go, let me know and I’ll see if we can get you the $99 Social Media Club Chicago member discount. I like the practical vibe and the central Illinois spirit surrounding the people and this conference.

For example, the site offers everyone a treasure of social media tips and techniques. Check out @midWest on Facebook and atMidwest on twitter. And, follow the chat around #atmw on twitter.

From the site . . . @midWest is a social media conference located centrally in the Midwest. The Bloomington-Normal area is a vibrant community, home to 165,298 people who exemplify the values of the Midwest and a remarkable quality of life. Located in the heart of Illinois at the junction of Interstates 55, 39, and 74 makes getting here easy.

If you’re wondering about what I’m speaking about, here’s my keynote:

Social Media Keynote: 3D Social Media: WIRED to Advance to the Next Level

How do super heroes get to the next level in social media? In this presentation, you’ll learn how to apply an integrated communications system that fuses search, social, content, marketing and PR into an approach you can use to chart plans, measure impact, map progress and demonstrate the value of social media to your organization, communities and your region.

Thanks to everyone on the @midwest team for making me feel so welcome. Whether you go or watch via your computer screen, I thought you might enjoy these interviews with the speakers.
