***UPDATE***: The winners have been chosen. The winners have been chosen. Drum roll? Huge congratulations to Meg Crawford and Cole Watts for locking up FREE passes to Social Fresh Charlotte. Thanks to Brian Saemann and Misty Wuori for participating. In the end, it came down to Meg being first to enter and Cole’s awesome video from his brother that sealed the deal. Oh, and a non-biased vote from my wife Kristina. See you both in Charlotte. Get ready for that bear hug.
I’m a huge fan of Social Fresh – the company, the founder (Jason Keath), and especially … the event(s). By last count, I think I’ve attended 4 of them – Charlotte, Tampa (twice), and Nashville. I was even on the Social Fresh Cruise in November of 2009. I’m really pumped to be attending – and speaking – at what will be the third Charlotte event, September 6-7, 2011. As I type this, this event is the fastest-selling in the history of Social Fresh. It’s will have the most content ever and is on track to be the largest of all time. I’m so pumped that I recorded a short video last week:
Can’t see the video? Try watching directly on YouTube.
Want more video? I filmed this one with Gia Lyons 2 years ago at the first Social Fresh event – also in Charlotte. What I love about looking back at this video is that all of it still applies. All. Of. It. The face to face. The networking. The killer sessions and speakers and lessons learned.
Why Should You Care?
Simple. I want to see you there to. I want to give you a bear hug. As it turns out, I just so happen to have 2 conference passes to give away. Free. Gratis. No charge (Sorry, you’ll have to cover travel & expenses!). However, they are not really free. Just like social media, you have to put the time and effort in to get positive results. If you’d like the opportunity to “win” one of the 2 free passes I have for Social Fresh Charlotte, here’s what you’ll need to do: Leave a comment below telling me (& whoever reads this blog) why you want/need to be in Charlotte for Social Fresh. Bonus points for creativity (think: video). Yes. It’s that easy. Not simple, but easy. The deadline to enter is Tuesday, August 23rd (my 1/2 birthday and 2 weeks before the event). I’ll pick the two winners and announce them on this very blog. There is not a committee that will be voting. It’s just me. Therefore, I reserve the right to be biased. Ready? Let’s do this.
