Learn more about Session JAM 52: Talking to Bloggers and Media
If you're attending BlackBerry Jam Americas in San Jose next week, be sure to sign up for JAM52: Talking to Bloggers and the Media.
I presented this topic at last year's DevCon, and it was one of the most-attended and top rated sessions from the conference. This year, we're kicking it up a notch - I'll be tag teaming the presentation with Victoria Berry from Research In Motion (yes, her last name is Berry.. and she works for BlackBerry).
In attending this session, you'll pick up a lot of tips on how to best deal with bloggers, the media and even RIM so you can better promote and market your apps. Session details below.
So if you're going to at the BBJam, come on down. It'll be a good time. I always have fun whatever I do, but in a session like this you'll get to catch a glimpse of my more serious business side. Hope to see you next week!Session ID: JAM52
