I am attending and will be on a panel at the first ever New Media Atlanta conference at the Georgia Tech Research Institute Conference Center in Atlanta, GA.The keynote speaker is Chris Brogan (his blog: chrisbrogan.com) and I had the opportunity to spend a few minutes with him. He also autographed his new book for attendees: Trust Agents - Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust.
Here are pictures of Chris Brogan, with Stainless Steel Sharpie in hand, and I taken by Jenny DeVaughn and Jennifer Carter:
My panel was titled: Are You Ready For Social Media?: Preparing Your Teams to Listen, Engage, Measure & Adapt
Bert DuMars, Peter Fasano, Seth Miller (and TBSVeryFunny, MostlyMuppet) with Jeff Turner moderating:
Managing an effective social networking campaign is both an art and a science. This panel will give you insight into the tools and techniques used by several large companies in their efforts to engage their customers using Social Media.
Also, I came in 5th during the special Chris Brogan/New Media Atlanta TwitterINGO game. I will be hosting TwitterINGO on September 29, 2009. Hope you can play, should be a challenging set of words.
So many great Atlanta friends in attendance it is difficult to list them all. But you can follow everyone's tweets at #NMATL.

Word on the Twitter stream is that you rocked the conference. Congrats.
Thank you very much for the comment. I was on a fantastic panel and the moderator did an excellent job.
Bert,
Was out of town and was able to watch the livestream which was great. Enjoyed your segment, you did great and was enjoyable. The BackNoise stuff is very interesting and has created a great conversation around it. I will make sure to be able to get to Round 2 the next time.
