Escape the Room challenge

Do you have the wit and team work skills to escape the room? On Saturday April 8th we’ll be golfing, but also taking a group to participate in an escape the room challenge at Dare to Escape. This is a pretty fun activity, one we did as a team on our last company retreat. A $50 ticket is required if you’d like to join us – lunch will be provided [menu].

More Speakers

Lawdan Shojaee is CEO of the software company AxoSoft and an advocate for workplace diversity. Chris Hooley is a walking contradiction in the best way possible – huge sports fan, weightlifter, recovering affiliate marketer of supplements and SEO legend, now turned community activist working to help the Phoenix homeless population. John Eckman of 10up will share his insight and acumen on running a scalable business. Neill Feather of SiteLock and Robert Rowley of Pagely will both be to breaking it down for us about the threats we face in digital security.

Additional speakers announced soon – Maybe your name? We’re still looking for a few more great lightning talk submissions. Have something to share? Do it.

Final Sponsors

Please welcome hosting co’s: DreamHost (Travel Sponsor), BoldGrid (C Sponsor), and Liquid Web (Coffee Sponsor), and SiteGround (Community) to the fold. Finally welcome Astoundify as a community sponsor.

Look for additional speakers to be announced in the coming weeks.

King’s Corners

Alex King suggested this idea to us a couple years ago. Essentially we will take the latter part of the first conference day and split the room into 4 quadrants and a facilitator in each will lead a bar-camp style breakout session. The topics are Business Administration, Security, Positioning/Marketing, and Code/Tech. Bring your thinking caps and get ready to dive in.

Lightning Talks

On the second day after lunch we thought it would be fun (and interesting) to open the floor for lighting talks. These will be 10-12 minute presentations on 1 Big Idea. Virtually no topic is off limits and presenters will attempt to share/communicate one idea, concept, thing, skill, or belief in the time allotted. Wish to participate? Great please pitch us your topic here – extra points for originality and humor.

Huge thanks to our primary sponsors.

New Sponsors and On Sale reminder.

Posted on by PressNomics

The financial support provided by this year’s sponsors has been unprecedented. Quite simply there are more sponsors than we have spots available and had to turn away a few sponsors, or have sponsors engage at a lower level. I think that means we have a good event 😉

  • MojoMarketplace is back for their 4th year, this time around they are helping us as an Airfare sponsor. With their help we will cover some or all airfare costs for our speakers.
  • TheWPValet as a C level sponsor. Mason and his team are great folks and we send a good chunk of work to them via Pagely.
  • 3five is a newcomer at the community level, and will be sponsoring the coffee this year. Yay Java.
  • CrowdFavorite is back again as a community sponsor.
  • Pressed.net is a first time sponsor at the C level. White-label managed WordPress.
  • a2Hosting is a first time sponsor at the community level.
  • Themeisle is a first time sponsor at the community level.

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.
