This great group of speakers are busy people. Most successful people are. We have been leaning on them to get us their topic submissions and today we are announcing 11 of the 16 sessions.

View the Sessions on the updated schedule.

We have also provide details on the after hours entertainment. We would like to thank NewRelic, Firehost, and WindowsAzure for sponsoring 3 events for your relaxing pleasure.

Additional Speakers

Posted on by PressNomics

We want to introduce you to our 2 additional scheduled speakers for PRESSNOMICS.

Aubrey Sabala is the Vice President of Marketing at Sailthru. Previously, she helped lead Facebook’s Consumer Marketing team and held various roles at Google, Digg, AOL and Booz Allen Hamilton. When she’s not trying to get everyone to use “Log In” correctly as a verb, you can find her at a local concert, on the ski slopes, taking (or teaching!) a Pilates class, missing her favorite restaurants in San Francisco and waking up far too early on the weekends.

Darin Swanson (@darinrs) is the director of New Relic’s A-team agent engineers who produce monitoring and diagnostic tools for production Java, Ruby, PHP, Python and .NET applications. In his free time he will be out running the roads and trails of whatever corner of the world he happens to currently be in.

PRESSNOMICS is 72 days away.

Welcome Collis Ta’eed and George Ortiz as speakers

Posted on by PressNomics

We are happy to welcome Collis Ta’eed of Envato and George Ortiz of Presstrends to the lineup of speakers at PRESSNOMICS 2012. I look forward to Collis sharing the story of Envato’s success in the publishing and marketplace space and George giving his insights into trend data of Plugin and Theme usage. Valuable info for our attendees to be sure.

George Ortiz is a part-time web developer and full-time startup junkie from the silicon slopes of Salt Lake City, Utah. When he’s not building products, he’s leading communities of faith throughout the west and speaking at events around the nation. Founder of Presstrends

Collis is the CEO and cofounder of Envato, the company behind ThemeForest, CodeCanyon and Tuts+. Collis is a designer by trade, an entrepreneur by nature, and a writer by circumstance. He is extremely passionate about WordPress and the part it plays in building the future of the web.

Collis currently takes the prize for farthest travelled coming from the land down under, but I did hear rumors of someone flying in from New Zealand.

Tickets go on sale Friday June1

Posted on by PressNomics

The day has come.

Tickets for the first ever PRESSNOMICS event go on sale Friday, June1. The exact time of day will be sent to the mailing list of those interested. There will be a small batch of early bird tickets available at $200 and the remaining at $250 when the early birds are exhausted. We encourage you to get your ticket as soon as possible and reserve your room the same day. We have a small block of rooms reserved at the Venue that we negotiated a tidy discount on. When they are gone you’ll be subject to the full seasonal rate. Room details are contained in your ticket confirmation.

We sent about 60 personalized invites out to a few people, some will inevitably go un-used and those remaining tickets will be made available to the public in July. So have hope if the event sells out before then.

I am very thankful and excited that here we are, just a month or so after we announced the event and we have attracted such great sponsors and speakers. We have two commercial sponsors committed as well as additional speakers we will announce over the coming months. Stay tuned for more.

Look forward to seeing all of you in November.
