Hooray Zendesk! Please welcome them back as a sponsor.

Posted on by PressNomics

If you were lucky enough to attend PressNomics last year, one of the highlights was the great presentation Mikkel Svane, the CEO of Zendesk did on friday morning. He shared the journey of starting from nothing but an idea to the amazing success Zendesk enjoys now and care involved in the building the company culture along the way.

We use Zendesk daily in our business, we depend on it to provide support to our thousands of customers. We feel it is the best support desk software available. Please help us welcome them back as a commercial sponsor.

Welcome VeloMedia as sponsor.

Posted on by PressNomics

We are pleased to welcome VeloMedia as a commercial sponsor for PressNomics 2. Karim and his crew have been making a name for themeselves in the WordPress space with Enterprise Web Development services.

I met Karim in San Diego, he impressed me with is depth of business knowledge and legendary drinking abilities.. That last part may not be true.

Welcome back Envato as a sponsor.

Posted on by PressNomics

I hope you will all join us in welcoming back Envato as a sponsor for PRESSNOMICS. If you recall last year they participated on the sponsorship side (sweet t-shirts for all) and Envato’s founder Collis Ta’eed gave one hell of a good talk to close the event last year.

envato

We truly appreciate their financial help in making this event happen for everyone. If you would like to hear Collis’s talk from last year they posted a video of sorts on their notes blog, Worth a listen.

Be sure to follow them on twitter at @envato and give them a virtual high five when you interact with them.

Thanks!

Invitations en route

Posted on by PressNomics

Current Status: Filling Envelopes

Last night on the #dradcast (watch it here) we talked about the PressNomics Experience. A central theme to the success of the event were the people.

Last year we sent out some invitations to specific people in the WordPress ecosystem formally requesting their attendance. While the event is open to all WordPress-centric business owners, we feel it is important to try to ensure specific people are in attendance: Those that are actively shaping and driving the Economy around WordPress.

Canada, the UK, Australia, Tasmania, Norway, India, and South Africa were all represented last year giving PressNomics an international feel. About 50 of invitations for this year are heading across the US and to the far corners of the world tomorrow after I pay a visit to the post office. Please check your postbox next week and consider attending.

We welcome all business owners in the WordPress ecosystem to attend PressNomics. Be sure to snag a ticket when they go on sale June 10th, 10am PST.
