I’m going to Delivering the New PR

I’m pleased to say that I’m going to be going to the Delivering the New PR conference in London on Friday, 10 November 2006.

It’s going to be a great opportunity to learn from some people who I’ve already learnt a lot from reading their blogs (Stuart Bruce, Tom Murphy, Elizabeth Albrycht) and listening to their podcasts (Neville Hobson).

I’m sure I’ll get a lot more out of seeing them present and hopefully getting a chance to engage in some discussions about putting social media tools into practice.

Plus PR Blogger Stephen Davies is going so hopefully I’ll get to meet him as well – I’ve read his blog for some time now and have exchanged emails with him.

From what I’ve heard from previous delegates and looking at the calibre of the speakers this should be an excellent event – I’m certainly really looking forward to it.

P.S. This is the first time (now second) I’ve posted a comment on a blog using my mobile. Cool.

Thanks Stephen – a drink sounds good – will drop you a line nearer the time. What software do you use for commenting from your mobile?

Just my Sony Ericsson K800i’s standard browser. I received an email notification of your trackback through Gmail mobile, followed the url which led me to this post and simply texted in the comment. Easy.

I used to have an SPV c550 but that wouldn’t allow me to do it.
