About Ewan Spence at Blog World Expo 2009

Posted on by

My bag is packed, the flights are sorted, the hotel is confirmed. All that’s left is to actually go and enjoy myself at Blog World Expo from now and through to the end of the week.

I’ll be roaming on my mobile, so you can call me on +44 7966 152772, but be aware I’ll be quite brisk in the call. You can also text me on that number. Because I don’t have a data plan for roaming that doesn’t cost the Earth, and I can’t be in Wi-fi coverage at all times the easiest way to get a message to me is by SMS to +44 7966 152772.

I will be online during the conference, mostly during office hours through the Wi-Fi connection at the Las Vegas Convention Centre. Vegas is eight hours behind UK time at the moment. You can email me on ewanspence@gmail.com.

I will be wearing my kilt, and I look a lot like this…

So there are lots of small reasons I’m going to Blog World – one is that I am speaking. The panel is “And Senator You’’re No Johnny Carson – But You Can Be A Great Interviewer.” It;s going to be about how you go about doing an interview for your website or podcast, and is at 5pm on Friday, in room 221.

What else? Catch up with old friends is an obvious one – and make lots of new ones. Please come up and say hi. Don’t expect a thirty minute conversation, just remember Blog World is the start not the end of a relationship.

I will have some things to demo and talk about, so if you;re interested in New Media and reporting the news, or are a technology blog or writer, then please try to find me!

The hashtag for the event, for blogging, pictures, media and twitterings appears to be #bwe or #bwe09 in some circumstances. Finally, remember one thing from (I think) Chris Brogan.

What happens in Vegas, stays on Facebook!
