“I spend a lot of time helping communicators say the right thing in the right way at the right time,” said McLoughlin. “I’m really looking forward to being a part of this conference and talking about how communicators can remain relevant in the world of democratized media.”

Posted by PAB in PAB2010 - (0 Comments)

The Lord Elgin is filling up for the weekend of PAB. While we have 50 rooms available to us at the amazing PAB2010 group rate that weekend, rooms with two queen-sized beds are apparently popular and are coming up in short supply.

If you want a room with two queen-sized beds, you’d better book your room soon!

Two more speaking sessions confirmed

Posted by PAB in PAB2010 - (7 Comments)

Because of our late start in planning PAB2010, we’re juggling more organization activities at one time than typical for mid-April. To show we’re still working hard on everything, we’re making announcements as often as we can.

One activity we’re still working through is reviewing speaking proposals and selecting speakers. We’re making announcements as quickly as decisions are made. Today, we have two more session announcements.

Writer and blogger Mare Swallow (aka Etiquette Bitch) will be delivering the session Make the Irrelevant Relevant: Apply Three Adult Learning Principles to Your Media.

Algoma University Prof. Dave Brodbeck will moderate the discussion What if my boss finds out? with CNET-TV executive editor Tom Merritt of TWiT (see the comments), librarian and podcaster Ken Hernden, and teacher and podcaster Scarborough Dude.

The early registration code pab2010 saves $20 on registration and expires at 5pmET today, April 16. Register now before it’s too late.

Note that if you book a room at the preferred rate and cancel within seven days of the conference, you will be charged for one night’s stay in the hotel (CDN$112 plus applicable taxes).
