Free State Social : How To Make Your Brand Stand Out Online

One of my favorite speakers at Free State Social was Sarah Evans who spoke on How To Make Your Brand Stand Out Online.
It's busy online and everyone is competing for your attention. One out of every three online Americans update their social media statuses at least once a week. So how do you stand out or make an impression? Sarah's goal is always to share practical advice you can apply or modify. She'll share nine ways you can stand out online in a non-spammy way. Hear a personal case study to see what "Find an opportunity to showcase what you do best" looks like in action. Be ready to participate during this session...Sarah always likes to get the audience involved.
(note : i missed a little of the end when it came to question time due to my flip cam dying)

Free State Social : Local Panel

This post is my first in a couple featuring Free State Social the social media conference which took place this last week in Lawrence, KS
I was able to get video of some of the panels and I also want to share my thoughts so be on the lookout over the next few days as my stuff starts hitting the blog.
Another good place to get some good video action from the event is from t-rave who is one of my fellow vloggers/geeks.
So onto the panel. This was a panel highlighting some of local talent from the area and there thoughts on the local scene. You had Zena Weist, Shea Sylvia, Ramsey Mohsen, and Tony Botello.
I know I was really looking forward to hearing what Tony had to say and to meet him in person for the first time. He was very professional and I enjoyed hearing his insight. One thing I will say is this panel was TOO SHORT. Maybe next year they will have a longer one or maybe a couple.
Enjoy!

The Geek To Invade The Free State Social
So this is the big week! Free State Social is here and yours truly will be attending to soak in all the social media madness that will take place.
Social media is much more than a fad - it's changing the way the world communicates. The communities in northeast Kansas are at the forefront of this movement and have made the region a hub for innovative technologies and social media use.
Because of this, The World Company is hosting a brand new social media event: The Free State Social.
"The Free State Social will highlight the best in social media from our area and put local innovations and ideas on a national - even global - stage," Ben Smith, World Company Social Media Manager, said. "Our purpose is to educate attendees about the current state of social media, present opportunities for its use and talk about where the industry is headed."
Some of the speakers at the conference will be Chris Brogan, Jeremiah Owyang, Sarah Evans, and the list goes on as well as a local panel that will feature some familiar faces to those in the KC area including Zena Weist, Ramsey Mohsen, and Tony from Tony's Kansas City! (Now there is a guy I look forward to meeting).
Overall it should be a great event and I look forward to posting up on the blog videos from the speakers/panels, pics and tweets as the day goes on, looking forward to meeting new people and putting faces with the many people I follow on twitter, as well as absorbing some of the great social media knowledge that will be dropped all day long.
Hope to see you there and if not at the event at the tweetup that night in downtown Lawrence.
