BlogHer ’09 Discovers PeoplePond Interactive Shirts
BlogHer is a conference for women bloggers has been going on for years and is so successful that it is usually sold-out. It provides bloggers opportunities to participate in discussions about topics directly affecting them, sessions and classes providing learning opportunities and, maybe most important, the opportunity to meet their online circle of friends “in real life.”
So mostly women (some bring their kids since the BlogHer folks anticipate this with daycare services and other accommodations) attend. But our fearless Theron volunteered to delve into this gathering of women in order to learn and spread the good word of how PeoplePond can help build and protect bloggers’ personal brands and reputations.
Equipped with a backpack full of PeoplePond’s innovative and interactive t-shirts (your online identity on the front and room for comments from others on the back), he went to Chicago.
It wasn’t until one of the evening events that the shirts made their first appearance. And 3 minutes later they were all gone. This required a frantic call back to PeoplePond headquarters requesting more shirts ASAP!
So a bigger supply was shipped overnight. Granted it arrived the last day of the event but still things were exciting and attendees were charged up. The shipment was opened in the lobby of the hotel where BlogHer was being held and again it only took a few minutes to run out.
It was quite a sight to see people strewn about the lobby filling out in their PeoplePond shirts.
That evening Theron got this photo taken with American Idol finalist, singer/songwriter, Brooke White, leaving her comments on his shirt.
All in all, it was a great experience for everyone. More pictures are available here.
