Next week is Social Media Week in NYC. I am most excited about being able to attend the Social Communications Summit.
At SocComm, we will explore the state of Social Communications, where things are headed in the future and where the money is today and will be tomorrow.
It’s shaping up to be a great day with some wonderful speakers.

The last time I attended a Jeff Pulver event I wrote this post and it quickly became one of my most commented posts ever. I know great things will come from me attending SocComm. Jeff Pulver was kind enough to award me a scholarship so that I would be able to attend (since there was no way I could afford the nearly $500 pass). I know great things will come from me attending SocComm.
