@jbruin gets around…

One of the many benefits of sites like Twitter and FriendFeed is that I can develop pretty strong relationships with people I’ve never met. The online relationships become cemented in the cloud, making it that much easier to connect with like-minded and intelligent people when I attend events. In the interest of planning ahead, here’s a look at the upcoming conferences and events I’ll be attending. Leave me a comment, send me an email, or add me to a social network if you’ll be in the same physical space at the same time as me. We should do coffee, lunch, or better yet drinks!

New Media Expo – August 14/15/16

I’m headed to Vegas this week for what’s sure to be a memorable experience. I’ve only got an Expo pass (Tim if you’re reading this feel free to upgrade me at no charge), so I’ll probably be milling around and exploring the tradeshow floor (or getting into trouble at the craps tables). I’m traveling with the talented geniuses behind NAS Productions and the former show Viral – they’ll be covering the event. Look for live video interviews with the internet superstars you’ve grown to love and worship digitally. Maybe I can find a way to sneak in front of the camera . [Can you tell that I'm trying to find a way into the video realm?]

DEMOfall 08 – Sept 7/8/9

DEMO is in my hometown of San Diego this fall and I’m stoked to be attending such a prestigious event where I’ll be exposed to “the next big innovations in technology.” Did you know that Seesmic debuted at DEMO? I’m actually attending as a member of the press, so I’ll be blogging the entire experience with a San Diego twist for StartupSD.net.

BlogWorld and New Media Expo – Sept 20/21

Another must attend for all content creators, bloggers, vloggers, & mobloggers alike. The event is also in Vegas, I might have to join a Player’s Club at this rate, and I’m looking forward to reconnecting with dozens of fellow attendees. Last year’s BlogWorld keynote by Mark Cuban will stick with me as one of the most amazing and inspiring keynotes I have ever experienced, and the pajama party that I went to in pajamas, unlike the majority of other attendees, was a social experiment like no other. This year’s headliners, including Gary Vaynerchuck, should make the 08 conference just as memorable.
