CLICK THE IMAGE AND YOU WILL BE TAKEN TO MY PROPOSAL!

I have submitted a session proposal for the South by Southwest Interactive (SxSWi) Conference coming up in March 2010 in Austin, Texas.  If you’ve never heard of SxSWi, let’s just say that it is one of the most important technology conferences of the year, and your vote can help me get there as a speaker!

By visiting this link and creating an account, you can vote for my session proposal!  Your vote really matters…voting counts for 30% of the formula used to select sessions for the conference.  (The other 70% is split between the SxSWi staff and the conference advisory board.) Voting is open until September 4, which means we have less than two weeks to get as much support as possible.  Here is the session description, and the panelists:

The iPhone Volunteer: Can Mobile Devices Save Society?

Mobile is the next great platform for engaging volunteers, and the timing of its arrival is excellent, given the “wicked problems” we face. The enhanced capabilities of today’s mobile devices and the power of inventive applications are creating a new generation of “iPhone volunteers” who may well change the world.

It’s going to be an awesome session, and I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!  In addition to casting your vote, if you’re willing to help me build support, that would be completely awesome!  To do this, you can:

+Write a blog post in support of my session!

+Tweet and re-tweet items in support of my session!

+Post to your Facebook page asking others to vote!

These are just a few of things you can do to help me in this process.  The more you do, the better the chance this session will be chosen.  There are over 2200 proposals for SxSWi, and only 300 slots, so I’m sure you can understand the importance of this voting process.  I truly appreciate any help you offer in spreading the word about my session proposal.  I can’t do it alone!

DON’T FORGET that you need to create an account to cast your vote, and please be sure to share a direct link to the proposal (http://bit.ly/iHY1T) so it can be easily found.  Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks again for your help!
