Well, I made it to Stamford, CT, for the Business Smart Tools conference. It’s about to start. I made the rounds of the exhibitors, before the rush. There’s some cool technology out there. I talked to folks at:

• Vivapop (interactive web and voice accessible calendar)
• Conversagent (automated customer service agents)
• MarketWire (search engine optimization through press releases)
• Dial-a-Note powered by CiviCom (hands-free notepad)
• 24/7Real Media USA

I’m sure I’ll find out more as the conference progresses. I’m looking forward to the speaking part of the program, which will start at 2 PM.

I saw part of David Parmet’s presentation on blogging as he tested the projector, and it looks great.

He’s also started a Business Smart Tools Flickr photo set.

Today’s the day! I’ll be at the Business Smart Tools New Media Conference in Stamford, CT. I’ll be helping Valorie, and doing a demo or two of WordPress and whatever else people want to ask me about.

I heard a great segment on WNPR, the local public radio station, in their business section. It featured the conference, and an audio quote from Valorie. I wish the station would have audio archives up on the site, the way NPR.org does. Then I’d link to it. But still, it was exciting to hear.

Since there’s wireless at the conference, I’m going to try to do some live blogging, if I can. No promises, though. But I’ll definitely be taking notes, though, so expect to see at least one post about what went on.

Hope to see some of you there.
