Those of you who know me, know that I love to be in front of a crowd sharing information and helping teach people new things. That's why I'm so excited for October because I will be presenting at three more events "spreading the gospel" about doing business online. If you're going to be at any of the following events, be sure to come up and say hi. I'd love to see you in person.

The Payments Authority Concepts 2010
October 7-8, Boyne Resort, Michigan
I presented last year at this conference in Kalamazoo, MI and this year The Payments Authority is having me come back for two sessions. I'll be talking about how to develop a blogging strategy in the banking sector as well as presenting during the closing general session on technology trends and innovative ways to engage the Internet to interact with your customers.

Bank Technology Summit 2010
October 18-19, Christian Brothers University, Memphis, TN
This conference is an invite-only event put on by my good friend Jimmy Sawyers of Sawyers & Jacobs, LLC. I presented last year at this conference and the response was so positive, they've asked me to come back!

This year, I'll be talking about the "digitization" of marketing and how surf, search and social technologies are changing the way we market in the "Internet age". Plus, they are giving me 1.5 hours to talk, so watch out! :-)

Plus, I'm real excited that Lee Wetherington will also be at this event and hopefully we'll get some time together. Seems the last few times we've been at the same show, we have missed each other (or got 5 minutes to chat while one of us was on their way back to the airport). If you've ever been fortunate enough to hear Lee present, you can appreciate why I'm looking forward to seeing him again.

Nebraska Bankers Association Bank Marketing Conference
October 20-21, Lincoln, NE
As is the case with the other two events this month, this conference is also a "return visit" and I had the pleasure of speaking to the NBA's Technology Conference earlier this year. This time around I'll be presenting to their marketing professionals and sharing all sorts of information about how social technologies are changing the way consumers make their purchase decisions and build relationships with the businesses they are doing business with.

Need A Speaker For Your Next Event Or Conference?
As you can see from the events I'm doing this month, my "ask back" track record is pretty good, so I must be doing something right. So, if you are holding an event and looking for a speaker to help bring attendees up to speed on what the changes in the Internet mean for their businesses, please keep me in mind. I'd love to hear from you and see how I can help! eric@poweredbywsi.com or (269) 841-5007.
