Amanda Coolong and Chris Drake confirmed as speakers

Posted on by PressNomics

I am happy to announce 2 additional speakers for PressNomics 2012.

Amanda Coolong is COO and Chief Host of TechZulu. I met Amanda back at sxsw a couple years ago and Sally and I were both impressed by her hustle and poise. She’ll be sharing her thoughts on getting press coverage of your non-funded, no SF based startup and journalism ethics.

Chris Drake is Founder and CEO of Firehost. While Firehost is a sponsor I would have invited Chris to speak regardless. His story of going from client services (web design) to the leader in secure cloud hosting is an interesting one he will be sharing with all of us.

Thanks to our new sponsor Site5
