Susie has been asked to be the lead speaker at the first corporate blogging conference ever in Asia. It’s called “Corporate Blog Marketing Conference”—yeah, the name could use some work—and it’s taking place September 21st and 22nd.
The conference, put on by Maitre Allianz, is going to be at the Le Meridien hotel, and I’m going with her. It’ll be both our first times in Asia, and we hope to spend a few days in Singapore, the city / island / country, and then possible zip over to Brunei. We’re still working out the details of that.
Who should attend? I’m told that “CEOs, GMs and Directors, HODs, Senior Managers & Managers, Marketing, PR & IT professionals, Business Development heads & managers.” Or anyone with a spare grand.
I tell you, this being a business blogging expert—it’s turning out quite well for Susie (and her hubby!)
“Almost every American I know does trade large portions of his life for entertainment, hour by weeknight hour, binge by Saturday binge, Facebook check by Facebook check. I’m one of them. In the course of writing this I’ve watched all 13 episodes of House of Cards and who knows how many more West Wing episodes, and I’ve spent any number of blurred hours falling down internet rabbit holes. All instead of reading, or writing, or working, or spending real time with people I love.”
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
