Iowa Tech and Social Media Interactive Conference

In just a few short weeks, Iowa will be hosting the Iowa Tech and Social Media Interactive Conference (IOWAtasmic), one of the very fist large social media conferences to be organized in the state.  On September 18-20th, 2009 in Mount Pleasant, Iowa on the Welsyan College campus, IOWAtasmic will provide a chance for businesses and individuals around Iowa and the midwest to take part in and learn about the ever growing social media revolution.

While many people think social media is just a fad,  IOWAtasmic sets out to demonstrate to Iowans that it's not.  The goal of the event is to bring new technology and knowledge to Iowa, as well as to showcase the existing technology and services already offered in the area.

The conference also sets out to prove that Iowa is not ten years behind the rest of the World, technologically speaking, and will attempt to highlight incentives and benefits of relocating or expanding into Iowa.

Event organizer Bradley Laborman, known as Bradman in the online world, says attendees will benefit from the knowledge of top tech and social media figures from the U.S. and Canada. The conference will consist of keynote speakers, local musicians, youtube celebrities, social media gurus and entrepreneurs from across the country.

Among the list of speakers is Chris Pirillo, an Internet Entrepreneur and Consultant that graduated from the University of Northern Iowa.  For those who don't know who Chris is, just Google "Chris"...he is the top result.  Take it from someone who does a fair amont of search engine optimization for companies...that is impressive.

Also included in the speakers at the event are Sarah Townsend, the Editorial Director for SocialVibe and Derek Johnson, CEO of internet startup Tatango.

The conference is scheduled into a large variety of different sessions, ranging in topic from How to Find and Engage the Social Community to Social Media Conversion and ROI to E-Stalkers and Protecting your identity Online.  With several different sessions and panels available, IOWAtasmic provides a wealth of knowledge for people to learn from.

The nerds at Brice Cheddarn Development are proud sponsors of Iowa Tech and Social Media Interactive Conference, and we look forward to helping show Iowa that Social Media might be the biggest mental shift since the Industrial Revolution.  With any luck, this can be a regular event in Iowa (and maybe Bradman will let us help him with the website next year).
