BlogOrlando

Empirical Polk's Josh Hallett once again presents BlogOrlando.

Voce Communications, in partnership with Rollins College will host the third edition of this FREE event that is open to bloggers and non-bloggers alike from Florida and anywhere else. We bring together a good cross-section of folks to discuss blogging, podcasting, public relations, social media, citizen's journalism and other related topics. The event is as much a social/family gathering as it is a 'work' gathering.

With Sticks of Fire blogger Tommy Duncan, this year I'll help lead the Hyperlocal Blogging presentation/discussion.
