In one of our late-night brainstorming sessions (coffee, yay!) we came up with the bright idea of putting up an attendees page with bios and photos in order to facilitate networking before and during the conference. It’s kinda like having everyone send in their photo before freshman orientation in college. Ahh, the good old days! But I digress…
Apart from the obvious networking upside, there’s another good reason to send in photos and bios. If you’ll notice, those attendees who have sent me their info get a bunch of inbound links to their sites. Those attendees who have only given us permission to post their name and organization do not. Since we have a Google PageRank of 7, having an inbound link from us is valuable for your website in terms of search engine optimization. (For more information, learn from Wikipedia.)
So keep those attendee bios and photos rolling into teresa [at] blogbusinesssummit [dot] com and I’ll keep putting them up.
