A few days have passed since IZEAFest and I've had the pleasure of conversing with the new friends and business associates that I met there via Facebook, on Twitter, via email, on the phone, etc. The face-to-face networking that takes place at events such as IZEAFest is truly the springboard to the "virtual conversations" that continue on, post conference. The unfortunate part about conferences is that eventually, they come to an end and somehow you just don't get to talk to everyone you set out to meet. In the last two days, I've heard from a couple of people who told me that they didn't come up to me to say hi at IZEAFest because they always saw me talking to someone and they didn't want to interrupt; or when I was alone and checking my email, they didn't want to be a bother. Please.. bother me! I love meeting new people. I enjoy finding out about what you do and how I can help you grow your business. I want you to be more than a Twitter avatar to me. So, here's the deal. In the next two months, I'm going to be at the following conferences: BlogWorld Expo: October 15-17 (Come swing by my booth #328) ShareASale Think Tank: October 23-25 Ad:tech New York: November 4-6 (Come swing by my booth #1455) Audience Conference: November 5-6 Social Fresh Cruise: November 12-16 (Come swing by my lounge chair) ;-) ... and I really want to make sure I get to meet you. Why don't we set a time that's convenient for the both of us to do so? This way, there are no awkward moments, no shoulda's and no if-only's that can get in our way."/>

Q3 Business Travel: Let’s Talk

by Missy Ward

A few days have passed since IZEAFest and I’ve had the pleasure of conversing with the new friends and business associates that I met there via Facebook, on Twitter, via email, on the phone, etc.

The face-to-face networking that takes place at events such as IZEAFest is truly the springboard to the “virtual conversations” that continue on, post conference.

The unfortunate part about conferences is that eventually, they come to an end and somehow you just don’t get to talk to everyone you set out to meet.

In the last two days, I’ve heard from a couple of people who told me that they didn’t come up to me to say hi at IZEAFest because they always saw me talking to someone and they didn’t want to interrupt; or when I was alone and checking my email, they didn’t want to be a bother.

Please.. bother me!

I love meeting new people. I enjoy finding out about what you do and how I can help you grow your business.

I want you to be more than a Twitter avatar to me.

So, here’s the deal. In the next two months, I’m going to be at the following conferences:

BlogWorld Expo: October 15-17 (Come swing by my booth #328)
ShareASale Think Tank: October 23-25
Ad:tech New York: November 4-6 (Come swing by my booth #1455)
Audience Conference: November 5-6
Social Fresh Cruise: November 12-16 (Come swing by my lounge chair) ;-)

… and I really want to make sure I get to meet you.

Why don’t we set a time that’s convenient for the both of us to do so? This way, there are no awkward moments, no shoulda’s and no if-only’s that can get in our way.

Once I get your information, I’ll shoot you off an email to connect to set up a good time for us to meet.

Here’s looking forward to meeting you!

MissyWard.com runs on the Thesis Theme Framework

Thesis Theme thumbnail

If you’re an affiliate who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, HTML, or CSS, Thesis will give you a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via extensive hooks and filters. And with so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site.

Those of you who are “in between,” like myself, can use the fantastic Thesis User’s Guide and world-class support forums to make more professional customizations than you ever thought possible. The theme is not only highly customizable, but it allows me to build sites with a much more targeted focus on monetization than ever before. You can find out more about Thesis below:

Funny you say that. I wanted to introduce myself several times at aff summit east, but you always looked mobbed with followers, so I didn't approach you.

I wont be able to make any of the conferences you listed, but I'm sure our paths will cross at the next summit.

I'll tell you in advance. You will have to pencil me in then :)
