I have some good news and some bad news. Which do you want first? The good news? Ok!
The good news is our friend Robert Scoble has a new kid on the way.
The bad news is that his little bun is due the week of IZEAFest.
When Robert agreed to keynote our event his wife wasn’t pregnant, but all things change with time.
Needless to say Robert is going to have his hands full and won’t be able to make it out for the keynote. I know Robert feels bad about the timing but I couldn’t be happier for him. How could you not be happy for him? Having a child is an awesome thing.
I thought long and hard about how to fill his place. I was pulling my hair out… until Ashley came to me with his idea. He told me I should do a keynote on personal branding. As strange as it sounds I never really thought about keynoting this event until he brought it to my attention.
At the end of the day I like the idea. I think I can share a lot given what I have done with Ted.me and my personal brand development. Robert and I definitely have different perspectives, but I hope that you are as excited as I am about the change. I promise a fun keynote with a few surprises ; )
We have added some exciting new people to the lineup… but you will just have to wait until the new site launches to see those.
