Happy to say I’ll be attending the fifth and final Delivering the New PR: How Blogs, Podcasts and RSS Can Work For You this November at the Marriot Hotel in Regents Park, London. For anyone that doesn’t know, the series of conferences is the brainchild of my old university lecturers (Note: that’s ‘old’ as in they don’t teach me anymore) Philip Young and Chris Rushton from the University of Sunderland.

The first conference was held at Sunderland Uni while I was studying there (see Flickr pics) so I had the opportunity to meet Philip and Chris’s fellow speakers: Tom, Stuart, Neville and Elizabeth. In fact, November’s final conference will almost be a year to the day since the first so it will be great to meet everyone again and interesting to see how people’s perceptions have changed within the space of 12 months. Oh, I’ve also promised Neville I won’t fire any tricky questions at him. Heh!

Tickets are priced £195 + VAT for bookings prior to October 13 and £250 +VAT thereafter

Like the previous four conferences, the event is being organised by Nicky, Andy and the rest of the team at Don’t Panic Projects and you can find out more by visiting their website or just download the pdf booking form. As mentioned, this is the final conference but a recent post by Tom Murphy says that the event, content and format will be reviewed with the view of launching a follow up series in 2007 so look out for bigger and better things.

Sidenote: Speaking of conferences, my employer (thanks Stuart) is sending me to the European Corporate Blogging Summit this Monday (25th) at the Radisson SAS Portman Hotel. A number of speakers from different sectors of industry will be covering various topics regarding blogs and blogging. Expect a post on it shortly.
