Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes

Wikipedia tells me it’s famous for being one of the “world’s most livable cities” as well as Canada’s cultural capital.

Leaving On A Jet Plane

Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes

I have a hectic (for me) period of travel and events coming up. Here’s a quick rundown, in case you’re in the area; I’d love to meet IRL.

May 18 (next Tuesday), I’ll be in Jacksonville, Fla., speaking at PRVille 2010 – Top Shelf Social Media, which is being organized by North Florida PRSA.

I don’t know how “top shelf” I am, but I’m looking forward to meeting, hearing and learning from Mary Henige and Ryan Paul Thomson, not to mention catching up with my buddies […]
