PubCon Powerhouse Social Media Keynote Panel Announcement

by, Lane R. Ellis on August 2, 2010

We’re turning up the heat this November 8 through 11 in sunny Las Vegas during our biggest and most comprehensive PubCon Las Vegas yet,

with a very special keynote panel featuring Copyblogger founder Brian Clark, New Marketing Labs president Chris Brogan, social media firm UnMarketing president Scott Stratten, and Sevans Strategy founder Sarah Evans.

After the success of the “Marketing Rock Stars of the Vegas Strip” keynote panel at PubCon Las Vegas last year, which brought together the social media directors from MGM Grand, Planet Hollywood, Luxor, Las Vegas Hilton and Vegas.com, we knew that we had to hold another knockout keynote panel for our big 2010 Las Vegas conference.

We’ve certainly done it, and the powerhouse keynote panel that we’ll be bringing together for you in November will make PubCon Las Vegas 2010 the center of the search and social media universe, as Clark, Brogan, Stratten and Evans push the boundaries of social media success.

Come to PubCon Las Vegas 2010 and be a part of this valuable all-star keynote panel, which will be moderated by Digitas senior vice president of search strategy and popular PubCon speaker Melanie Mitchell.

Each of the five world-renowned search and social media innovators taking part in the panel is a heavy-hitter in the new media and marketing world, and all are highly sought keynote speakers.

Five keynote speakers on one superstar panel is just one more reason to register today for PubCon, the premier search and social media conference.

Brian Clark

In 2006 Clark launched Copyblogger, a popular website focusing on writing for social media that boasts more than 100,000 subscribers and which has been heralded as a top

industry blog by Technorati, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, U.K.’s Guardian newspaper, and others.

With more than 55,000 Twitter followers, Clark, a popular speaker at previous PubCon events, will offer his latest resources for achieving social media success on our keynote panel.

Chris Brogan

Our big PubCon Las Vegas 2010 keynote panel will also feature noted social media veteran Brogan, a New York

Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author whose recent books include “Trust Agents: Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust” and “Social Media 101.”

Brogan, who has more than 130,000 Twitter followers and who presented a fireside chat keynote with Kawasaki at PubCon South at Austin in 2009, will share his latest social media insights based on more than 11 years of success in the industry.

Scott Stratten

Stratten, who presented an insightful keynote during PubCon South at Dallas earlier this year, is an internationally-respected marketing expert who has successfully combined viral and social media with what he calls authentic

marketing to form his unique UnMarketing strategy, which he will share with lucky PubCon Las Vegas attendees during this very special keynote panel in November.

Featured recently in publications including The Wall Street Journal and USA Today, Stratten is one of the top influencers on Twitter with more than 60,000 followers, and his clients’ viral marketing videos have been seen more than 60 million times, including one the National Football League’s Chicago Bears cited as the team’s biggest motivator as it made a bid for the Super Bowl.

Sarah Evans

Evans, a self-described “social media freak,” has parlayed her social media success into numerous awards and accolades including Forbes’ “14 Power Women to Follow on

Twitter” and Vanity Fair’s “America’s Tweethearts.”

Evans, who has been a guest writer for technology blog Mashable and who has more than 46,000 Twitter followers, will share her proven marketing ideas and strategies with the PubCon crowds during our keynote panel.

“What’s next in social media for PR? It’s not the next big tool or application, it is developing industry best practices, standards and ways to deliver real results for clients,” said Evans.
