The PHX Forum has become one of those shows that are "can't miss" for me now. There's so much going on and so many key people showing up that it would be impossible NOT TO DO A TON OF BIZ!
I was checking through the schedule and all the events and although it's pretty damn early for me - this is one I think I'll actually wake up for and that everyone should attend if they can make it!
10:30am, Saturday
Blogs, webmaster boards, innovative tools and tradeshows are a way to get your message out to webmasters. Blogs, RSS, and Viral videos serve as a way to get your message out to consumers. We have assembled a group well versed in both realms. How can your company attract new webmasters using innovative, new wave consumer marketing? How can you create buzz about your products and streamline your message to webmasters?
Moderator: MJ McMahon
Panelists: Eric Matis, Adult.com
Corey Wayne, WEGCash
Derek Meklir, AdultWhosWho.com
Harlan Yaffe, Pridebucks
Holly Ruprecht, Naked Sword
Steve Jones, Lightspeed
Derek from AWW (best networking site around for webmasters), Eric telling you what marketing events at shows work best. I see mistakes made on boards and at shows all the time! This is a great subject! Some people REALLY don't know how to convey product messages to webmasters in person OR on boards! When should you approach someone and pitch your product?
Steve Lightspeed is one of the kings of Marketing and Branding to BOTH CONSUMERS AND WEBMASTERS!
Also, I see a ton of questions on here about blogs, RSS, viral marketing to consumers ... Weg Cory is on this forum kicking knowledge all the time - and judging from the response to one of his recent threads, I think this is a great seminar to attend just to brain drain HIM!

THAT is pitching a product and pushing to consumers!
Pridebucks and NakedSword are marketing geniuses and incredible at what they do too!
People should really wake up on Saturday and go pick some of these guys brains - it's a great opportunity and it's definitely a well rounded group!
Great job once again to The Phoenix Forum!
And thanks to CCBILL and all the sponsors for making this such an excellent event!
