IzeaFest is going to be at Sea World Orlando this year and is promised to be the greatest blog conference the world has ever known, at least until IzeaFest 2010. And I want to give you a Free pass to the fun!
If you read my blog on a somewhat consistant basis, you know that I’m one of the 10 coveted Izea Insider Crew Leaders, and as such I’ve been given some free tickets to give away for IzeaFest 2009. So two of you lucky readers will get to be graced with my presence at IzeaFest this year as you make your way into the Ports of Call conference building, your wallet fat with all the cash you’ve saved, to enjoy one whale of a good time.
IzeaFest Happenings
This years IzeaFest will start off with an awesome party on October 1st to be followed by many drunk bloggers laughing uncontrollably as they make their way to the Orlando Renaissance Hotel, right across the road.
Then on Friday morning, October 2nd, bright and early, we’ll all make our way, groaning with hangovers, to the Ports of Call conference building to begin the process of registration.
The keynote speaker will be none other than Ted Murphy himself speaking on what he knows best: Building Your Personal Brand.
The keynote was originally scheduled to be Robert Scoble, but he (meaning his wife) will be having a new baby during that time and won’t be able to make it.
The day will then be littered with other great speakers like Darren Rowse, Sara Evans, and fellow Izea Insider, Julie Vazquez. Then following closely behind, yet another party where we will proceed to witness bloggers in several states of drunkeness.
Wake up again on Saturday for another keynote by Aaron Brazell followed by sessions featuring famous bloggers like Chris Brogan, Brett Bumeter (fellow Insider), and maybe even you for your 6 minutes of fame.
We’ve got another party again on Saturday evening, and we wake up early Sunday morning for a blogger takeover of Sea World!
All IzeaFest attendees will get a Free IzeaFest t-shirt and Free one-day pass to Sea World. Who wants to ride the new Manta Mania ride with me?
