I'm arriving a day early so I can attend Neville Hobson's pre-conference workshop on Oct. 17th:  How to use social media to create genuine employee engagement. I hear it's wildly popular and has already sold out.

A great launch for The Corporate Blogging Book

"The Best Business Blogging Book"

Brand Autopsy's John Moore (author of Tribal Knowledge) is calling The Corporate Blogging Book The Best Business Blogging Book.

This was kinda cool. Columnist Randy Stross quoted me recently in his New York Times column on the topic of CEO blogging .

Washington's blogging cognoscenti, as well as corporate blogger wannabes, showed up at a pre-release launch party for The Corporate Blogging Book. Details and more pics here.
