By Jeremy Schoemaker
86 comments
I don’t know that I have been this nervous or excited for a conference in a loooong time. I leave next Tuesday to spend a few days “behind the scenes” at Market Leverage and then its Izeafest time!!

I will be the keynote speaker on Friday. Its the first time I will be giving a keynote speech. The speech on SEO that I gave at Ebay Live! last year felt a lot like a keynote being I was the only person on stage… it was a hour long… and I was all wired up like Steve Jobs.. anyway I am super excited!

Congrats on being a keynote speaker! I hope to be going to these type of meetings and blog conventions within the next year.
Maybe it’d be easier for me if I won that macbook.
[Reply]
Have a good time doing what you do - sharing your knowledge of online marketing to others. Hope to maybe see a vid ;>) Good luck shoe.

Sounds exciting (and a bit nerve wracking) best of luck and knock em dead.
[Reply]
At least three of those guys will be saying the same thing. Pushing the same old stuff around a very tired room.
[Reply]
So many events - seems like there’s one going on every three weeks…
All of these are just a reiteration of what all their blogs talk about - but in person.
The conference people are just setting these up to charge sponsors for these so-called ‘premium’ events.
…Beleive dat
[Reply]
Hi shoemoney, I like your site, I will be visiting more often.
[Reply]
oh and good luck, hope you have a fun time.
[Reply]
Is it bad that I only know who Jeremy are John are?

Its going to be a great conference, I just wish I could fit it in my calendar. Its the one I am most upset about missing this year.
[Reply]
Have a great time there. You’ll do fine
[Reply]
I wish I could be there for the conference, have fun at ML behind the scenes and can’t wait to see your post about what you saw.
[Reply]
whew, i thought the other one was rand fish but then its brian clark… hehehe… they look like each other…
[Reply]
Make sure to get some video of that speech to post here for all of us that can’t make it
[Reply]
I’ll be there! Looking forward to seeing you in person and getting a chance to say hi since I read your blog so much.
I also did a post on the event and mentioned you @ http://orlando.metblogs.com.

I wonder what chow thinks of you being the headliner and his picture being small haha

Chow sucks and I’m sure his blog won’t last out 2009.

That isn’t true. Chow will be around for a long time due to his loyal readership and the fact that he knows what he’s doing (marketing wise).
[Reply]
Does anyone really “WANT” to go to Orlando?
[Reply]
Good luck with the speech. I get really worried at that sort of thing personally.
[Reply]
I’ll see you there!

[Reply]
Good luck to you Shoe.Sounds like a great time
[Reply]
I wish that you have more speeches in your future

[Reply]
Good luck Jeremy and see you at BlogWorld.

Would love to be there! You will do a great job!
[Reply]
Too bad that the Izea conference hasn’t been promoted too much…
[Reply]
Wish I could make it to the izea fest but will def be going to blog world expo in vegas
[Reply]
Good luck on the speech. I’m sure you will do just fine. I hope the weather doesn’t suck too bad.
[Reply]
I wish there was more conferences like this in Australia. You don’t happen to have any inside information about australian upcoming events?
[Reply]
Do you think you could make a post about how to speak and act at a conference?
[Reply]
In this ad you looks younger. Is it an old photo (;()
[Reply]
That is awesome! and good luck!!
[Reply]
One of these days I’m going to have to go to one of these.
Of course, that means I’ll have to have vacation time…
Good luck!
[Reply]
Should be a great time, wish I had the time to go to these things. Hopefully next year.
[Reply]
Good luck Jeremy!
Will we get a video of the event at a later date?
[Reply]
wow you got some balls taking center stage. I’ve not got it in me to do something like that.
Would love to pop around to see all those big guns, would certainly be awesome taking in knowledge that can make you go places.
[Reply]
Good luck Jeremy!
[Reply]
