You should attend ConvergeSouth 2008

Do you live in North Carolina? In the South? Anywhere? Are you interested in things like blogs, online video and podcasting? Do you want to see ‘net celebs such as Robert Scoble, Anil Dash and Chris Rabb up close and personal?

Then you should register for ConvergeSouth. I’ve gone the last two years (at least, maybe more), and it’s always been well worth it. I get new ideas, I get to make new friends and catch up with old friends. There’s interesting conversation, even music and a barbecue!

It’s Oct.  17-18 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Go here to register. C’mon, do it now. You know you want to. (Oh, did I mention? It’s free!)
