SXSW: Requesting Your Vote for My Next Adventure

And for my next adventure…presenting at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference in Austin, Texas, in March 2011!

I submitted my speaker’s proposal in early July. Because SXSW is a community-driven event, acceptance of my proposal is determined by three factors:

30% by SXSW staff,
40% by the Advisory Board – a group of industry professionals from across the US and around the world,
30% by you, my loyal readers and fans!

Voting is now open until Friday, August 27, 2010, at 11:59pm central time. To vote, you’ll need to create a account (name, email and password). (The Panel Picker interface is experiencing a few hiccups today. Please persist!)

Any comments on my proposed topic "The Untapped iPad Market: Is Your Site POUR?" are greatly appreciated so that I can prepare a rockin’ presentation! If you’d like to provide feedback but not create an account, feel free to leave your comments in the comment section below. Although your vote would be appreciated.

How can you help?

Create an account and vote for my proposal. (While there please lend a vote to my friends Sheila Scarborough, Becky McCray, Liz Strauss and Terry Starbucker.)
Spread the word on Twitter and Facebook.
If you receive this post in your inbox, please forward it appropriate colleagues and friends.

Thanks kindly!

Hopefully I will be off to Austin in March…
