The Inside Scoop: Fitness Writing, Publicity and Social Media

I think I’m crazy for doing this: I’ll be getting up unreasonably early on August 16 to catch a morning flight back from the IDEA World convention in Southern California so I can present at the BCRPA 2009 conference in Vancouver that same afternoon. How is it that these two conferences ended up on the same weekend?

At the BCRPA event, I’ll be presenting during the final session timeslot on the last day of the conference (Sunday, August 16). My session is:

• The Inside Scoop! Achieving Success with Publicity and Fitness Articles.

I also found out that IDEA plans to film one of my sessions about using Facebook, Twitter and blogs to market a fitness business at their World Event (cool and nerve-wracking!).

If you don’t get to see that session live (it’s called Beyond a Website) at IDEA World, you can pick up a copy of it on DVD (more details to come). Here’s what I’ve got coming up at IDEA World, August 13-16.

• Beyond a Website: Virtual Tools for Attracting Real-World Clients
• Climbing the Fitness Leadership Ladder
• Managing a Multi-Generational Staff (panel with Biray Alsac and Fred Hoffman)

Can-Fit-Pro Vancouver and the Island Fitness Conference (in Victoria, B.C.), both in November 09, have also invited me to present. Stay tuned for details about which sessions I’ll be doing.
