#PRSARVA, what do you want to hear?

It wasn't an easy call to make, especially at 6 in the morning.

I had to call Jennifer Pounders and tell her "you know that PRSARVA professional development session that I'm supposed to be leading in a hour?  Well, THAT's not going to happen…"  She handled the curve ball with her usual grace and proceeded to call all the folks who had registered.  Thanks, Jen.

Long story short, I found out after a doctors visit that I had walking pneumonia and it was probably a good thing that I passed on speaking as I would have infected about 70 of Richmond's stellar PR and marketing community.

So what do you want to hear??? So the session has been rescheduled for May 18 (two weeks of antibiotics later and I'm as good as new) and from what I understand the number of attendees has now risen.  There are a few slots left and you can register here.

I'm still planning to cover Facebook Timeline for Brands, the growing social media platform Pinterest, and touch on mobile.

But the main reason for this post is to solicit any other ideas or things that you'd like to hear about or want be to cover.

So please take a minute if you're planning to attend ( and even if you aren't) and comment below to help me add a topic or two to the session.

Thanks so much.
