Howdy, Bubba! Hey, if you're new around these parts, I just want to say how much I appreciate you dropping by! Oh, and you may want to subscribe to my feed. Thanks, and a tip o' the hat to ya!

By the way, just in case you’ve been tossing a coin reading tea leaves agonizing over the decision trying to decide whether or not to attend SOBCon ’07…
 
Well, I’m here to help make the decision easier! Yep, that’s me: Mr. Helpful. (Well, actually, I’m Mr. Hruzek, but you see I’m being, er, helpful, so you can, you know, make the decision… oh, never mind.)

Here’s three more good reasons you should give it some serious thought:

Andy Sernovitz has signed on to speak at SOBCon 07, and will be giving the luncheon keynote address! Andy will be sharing his insights, his experience, and his fine sense of humor, as well as:

3 Reasons People Talk About You
4 Rules of Word of Mouth Marketing
5 Ts of Word of Mouth Marketing
6 Big Ideas: Deep Stuff That Changes Marketing Forever

Andy is the cofounder and the past CEO of the Word of Mouth Marketing Association. He has pioneered with the geniuses of marketing innovation to build a prosperous word of mouth marketing profession based on best practices, measurable ROI, and ethical leadership using blogs, buzz, and word of mouth marketing.

Dr. Rob Wolcott will be in the audience! (Hey! Maybe we could collaborate on something. Wouldn’t that be a riot, introducing “The Dr. Rob and Dr. Bob Show”?)

Dr. Rob Wolcott, PhD, the Director of the Innovation Initiative for the Kellogg School of Business, is jazzed about blogging. Rob will be attending SOBCon 07 with another member of his team from Clareo Partners. His firm has also extended an invitation to all professors, corporations, and students at the school.

Some of the most resonant names of the blogosphere will enrich this unique event. The magnitude of the event goes beyond that of a traditional bloggers conference through that that will have in the public representatives of the Kellogg School of Business of the Northwestern University and other prominent business figures. – A. Garber, Clareo Partners

And most important of all, I’ll be there! (Cue the fireworks; cue the band; and hey, where’s that red carpet?) Well, it’s a reason. I didn’t say it was a good reason.

By now you’re probably saying to yourself, “So what do I do NOW?” Well, the answer to that is actually pretty simple:

Just click on that little SOBCon ‘07 link at the upper left to start the registration process. Oh (and I’m whispering here, ‘cause it’s a secret, heh, heh), by the way, you may be able to convince Liz you are worthy of a $100 discount. I’ll give you a hint: it’s really easy, just click this link and answer a simple question.

Hope to see you there!
