I am heading out to Monterey this Thursday morning to join a bunch of friends for the event I always intend to attend (and hate to miss) every year, Labor Day Renaissance Weekend, where everyone is brilliant, generous, friendly, and passionate about what they do. Via Marketing Conversation

One of the things I love the most about attending Renaissance Weekend events is the sort of panels I get to be on. I will be on three business-related panels this coming weekend, over Labor Day, all of which are super-cool:

“This Brand Is My Brand — The Power of Branding, from Strategic Marketing to Graphic Design to Online Buzz Marketing;”

“Beyond the Code — What’s New Amidst the Speed Bumps, Toll-booths, Soapboxes, Mixers, Exits, & Off-ramps along the Information Highway;” and…

“Fact or Fiction — Books, Publishing, Blogs & Libraries.”

The best thing about these weekends is that we all participate. This isn’t about me attending these panels, it is about me being on them.

I have to tell you that these are the best weekends of my life, that’s for sure!
