Pubcon Hawaii Dream Systems Media Shirts
Pubcon Hawaii 2012 is just around the corner, and I am looking forward to attending, speaking and modering. Pubcon is, and always has been one of my favorite conferences throughout the year. The entire Dream Systems Media crew will be on the Island enjoying the conference and networking.
We have already been passing around DSM Pubcon Hawaii Tee’s … so if you were lucky enough to get one 
we’d love to have you post pictures of them here (just comment with where I can find them and I will get them added). I am going to have extras at the conference, so just find me and let me know you want one! I am really looking forward to seeing all my old industry buds, and meeting and making new ones.
What I will be speaking/moderating:

A lesson in Repurposing Content -
I heard an English teacher once say that “Every modern love story is a copy of Shakespeare.” She used Westside Story as an extreme example, stolen from Romeo and Juliet. She went on to challenge us to find a theme that Shakespeare did not cover. But there are those who argue that Shakespeare himself stole content. Who did Shakespeare steal stories from? Well, no one really knows at this point. But if he did borrow some ideas, does that constitute stealing? He took stories and themes and reworked them so eloquently that they became his own. Taking a peak at what people have done in the past and building upon their thoughts and ideas can be a healthy exercise. Adding to the conversation is a good thing. Further, those that we can identify with and build better thoughts with may even thank us. …or not. Matt Cutts may just consider me more of a pest than a pest control guy. I concede. But thanks Matt Cutts for the original Pac-Man Pie Chart idea.

David Mink
We always enjoy the opportunity to share our marketing experience, knowledge and tips with others at search marketing conferences and networking events across the country. Recently, we have been pretty busy doing just that. Here are just a few updates:
David Mink, one of DSM’s founding partners was asked to serve on the founding board of directors for www.slcsem.org. David is handling all of the legal “to do’s” that come with setting up a non profit organization. David will also be heading back to Las Vegas for PubCon 2011 to once again speak on the “Legal Issues of Domain Names and Trademarks” panel with fellow attorney Clarke Walton.
Mat Siltala will be joining David at PubCon to speak on several panels including Foursquare & Gowalla – Geo Location Marketing, Interactive Site Reviews: Focus Brand & Reputation Management and Competitive Intelligence – Tools and Tactics.

If you are attending Pubcon this year in Las Vegas, you should know that we will be there representing as well and I do have to say that we are getting a little bit excited, could even say giddy, about our soon approaching travels to Vegas for Pubcon. Pubcon means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but for DSM it comes down to good eats, good drinks, good friends, good business, and good times.
Along with everything else that comes with the territory, both Mat and Dave will be speaking this year. Here are the details and I suggest you don’t miss these sessions as they could change your life forever!
