So we had some fun thanks to Ryan at M-Bossed by making a video for his blog, but before we head off to Chicago I wanted to expand on the excitement list…
1. The Exhibitors
Armed with my new digital camcorder I will be prowling Graph Expo row by row looking to share your information, products and services from our YouTube Channel. I have three days to cover as much ground as possible and report for our audience. This is pretty much my favorite part of attending events, and really my purpose for being there so it’s a good thing to be excited about!
2. The Industry Celebs
Im not going to call any out by name because I dont want them running if they see me coming (not that they would even know me), but I will be on a mission to get at least a few on video. I did spend a few weeks in Beverly Hills several years ago; part of which we attempted to follow Angelina Jolie around (not in a creepy way I promise) – so Im definitely excited to pull out my TMZ hat again!
3. Meeting The People
I’m excited to meet so many of you that I hope I have time to do it all. To try and help with that, we are having a MultiChannel Meet & Greet with Rider Dickerson in the Marketer’ Lounge (booth 4064) on Monday September 12 from 1-2:30pm. If you can stop by PLEASE DO, even for 5 mins just to say hello. Nothing formal here, just some face to face networking and socializing so you dont have to worry about sneaking in or out! I’ll have some give-aways from the world famous Lou Malnati’s and you can also enter for a chance to win an all access pass to Graph Expo 2012!
4. Giving Second Chances
Schedules are tight and some of you have to work, so if you cant make the meet and greet I am very excited to let you know you can enter to win the all access free pass to Graph Expo 2012 at the interlinkOne booth (3661) anytime during the show! Scan the QR code and enter on the mobile site they created, or drop off your business card at your convenience. We will announce and email the winner at the end of the show. And if you cant do that, or want to hedge your bets, GASC is giving away another all access pass to Graph Expo 2012 for the person who receives the most scans of their show badge at Exhibitor booths! That winner will be announced a week or so after the event when the final tallies are available.
5. Everything Else
Seeing old friends, meeting new ones, learning, seeing, tweeting, going to Chicago, hanging out with people who love print and integrated marketing and so on…
Hope to see you there!
