View from the stage at the Indiana Department of Tourism’s New Media Workshop

As one of the travel bloggers for the Indiana Department of Tourism's VisitIndiana website, I occasionally get to speak at their industry events. On Wednesday, I got to speak at the New Media Workshop on the blogging panel. This is the view from my seat (before everyone showed up) and then with my fellow panelists and moderator Jeremy Williams.

My Talk at Blog Indiana Bloomington, January 2010

I had a chance to speak at Blog Indiana’s first regional event in Bloomington, Indiana, at the Sproutbox office. (Sproutbox is a venture capital firm that works directly with startups to help them launch. And they’ve got a killer office, complete with liquor cabinet and three in-wall beer taps from the Upland Brewing Company.)

Shawn Plew and Noah Wesley from Blog Indiana were kind enough to ask me to speak, so I talked about promoting a blog with social media. I discussed some of the tools I use to help our clients, as well as my own personal blog.

Special thanks again to Sproutbox for hosting us, and to Scotty’s Brewhouse for providing us with some great food.
