WordCamp Baltimore is one of my favorite WordCamps. This year, I spoke on setting up a WordPress site and building traffic through integrating social, email and community to reach your intended audience. Here’s the video of my talk.

WordCamp DC

I’m thrilled to announce I’ll be speaking at the inaugural WordCamp DC next month (July 14-16, 2017). I’ll be sharing my talk, “Building Traffic with Passion, Social Media & Engagement”. This is one I’ve given over the years, and is mostly the story of No Treble and WordPress’s role.

I started noticing the Frederick (Maryland) Web Tech community on Meetup a year or two ago thanks to their great discussion topics. One of the organizers is Paul Wilson. He recently asked me to speak at the Frederick Startup Community Meetup on October 24th.

Google Analytics

On September 1, 2011, I’ll be speaking at Refresh Winchester to go over many aspects of Google Analytics – from the basic reporting to more advanced topics.

I’ll be joined by Aaron Collegeman and Gannon Beck next month as we speak on “Shipping It“. This will be more of an open discussion than usual on project ideas and more – all inspired by Seth Godin’s “The ShipIt Journal.”

Rocket Surgery Made Easy

A while ago, Seth recommended I pick up a copy of Steve Krug’s book, “Rocket Surgery Made Easy.” I read it in a day and immediately began conducting usability tests for Squidoo. Now I’ll be speaking at Refresh on what I learned.
