I arrived today from San Francisco into New York City. I am here to attend the Social Ad Summit. Why? While I don't have a lot of clients specifically in the "social networking" arena - PR has changed tremendously and social networking is here - here to stay. Therefore, I see it as my job to remain on top of the trends, learn more about the trend and hear from industry experts.
While I am excited about the conference - I am going to admit it - I am disappointed with the fact that I proposed a CEO as a speaker, but she wasn't accepted. The shame is - she would have been perfect. And, yes, I am going to bring out the woman card...I know that gender shouldn't matter, but as a woman who owns and runs her own company in the center of the technology heartland - San Francisco/Silicon Valley - I would like to see more female representation. Yes, women do speak on a lot of panels, but after reviewing the speaker list - out of almost 30 speakers - only two are woman. So, I proposed a CEO that runs a internet "how to" site that is all about social networking and 100 percent based on an ad model - but she wasn't accepted...oh well. I am sure all the other folks will be equally amazing.
I look forward to the conference...
