It was great seeing so many familiar faces this past Thursday at the Talk is Cheap conference organized by Gary Schlee, the co-ordinator of the Centennial College Corporate Communications program. Over 150 industry professionals and PR enthusiasts showed up for an evening of insightful presentations about current trends in social media. Out of the 4 sessions I attended, I especially enjoyed Joseph Thornley's "pitching to bloggers" and Shachin Ghelani's "building brand equity leveraging social media". Whether you were an experienced professional already in the industry or a recent grad entering the industry, the conference or "unconference" I should say like this one was extremely educational and beneficial. For a first time event, I would say that this was a huge success... maybe Gary will be hosting these annually?

Hi Melissa,
I'm glad that you enjoyed my session. I'm always worried before a session that I'm going to miss the mark and that people won't find value in it. But the Talk is Cheap group made things easy. For me, the best part of the session was when I stopped talking and the people in the group started sharing. There were some very smart and experienced people at the session.
