We’re getting our SWOM on
September 11th, 2008
You know, SWOM. As in SWOMfest. As in the Society for Word of Mouth’s inaugural shindig in Austin on October 30th. As in you should be there.
We’re sending four folks from Brains on Fire HQ because we (heart) Ben and Jackie, there’s an 80’s Halloween party the night before, and the day of the conference there’s not only a live DJ, but Flying Dog is providing free beer all day long. In other words, this is a conference/party. It’s a conty. Or a parfrence.
If you’re a member of the SWOM, you should be there. And if you’re not a member of SWOM, you should sign up and then be there. Why? To rub elbows with some super-cool people, hang out in a city that’s known for a lot of things - including being a music Mecca – and because if you comment on this post, we’ll pick someone at random on Monday and pay for your SWOMfest ticket, plus dinner one night with the Brains on Fire crew.
Seriously. A day to learn about defining your company’s purpose, spreading your company’s story and understanding the cultural science of networks led by two of the people that understand what real word of mouth is and how it works – Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba. And free beer all day. All day people.
Space is limited and filling up, so come on and join the SWOMfest.

Get out! Are you serious? (Will you also buy my airline ticket, too?) Just kidding. Great post. You know I love the SWOM.

Hey, I want to get my SWOM on too — and having dinner with the Brains of Fire crew would seriously rock. Pick me, pick me!

I have to say that SWOM Fest sounds amazing. I mean what is not to like? Especially the Flying Dog :).
That being said: pick me!!!! I would truly love to go.

I’d love to win! I’m a fan of Ben and Jackie, and on the SWOM. There’s a lot of good conferences this fall and looking forward to Spike and Geno at BlogOrlando in a couple weeks.

I am not sure which is better- attending SWOMfest or getting to dine with the minds at Brains on Fire. If you ever split this offer and gave us a choice, it would be tough to choose.
Thanks for helping to develop our community by making this opportunity available to all of us!

I don’t really want the ticket. Just tell my bosses that I won it. They’ll buy me a ticket to Austin and I can just catch you guys later and grab a drink with you, Huba, McConnel and perhaps the “way worthy” johnmoore?

Parfrence — heh!
Y’all so totally rock the house.

Although my employers could afford the ticket, maybe they’ll applaud my initiative if I win it…..

ooooh. Please pick me. I’ll wash your car.

Drinking beer with the cool kids in Texas — what a deal! Count me in.

WOW! So cool!
September 12th, 2008 at 12:31 pmWith a brand new, teeny tiny business started from a little supportive neighborhood WOM…this would be a spectacular opportunity!

Oh really, threaten me with a good time, will you? Ok, I’ll play! ((crumpling up his entry so it has unique texture when they reach in to pick a winner) Phwip! Ok, it’s in there, now I’d like to be on there. Make it happen!

Would love to go. No airfare needed.

wow. I’m in love with the movement that is Brains on Fire, and SWOM is so incredibly awesome. A chance to learn how to expand my freelance business, AND meet the BOF crew? Um, dream come true! You guys rule!!!

Ok, this is not the most genius thing I’ve ever done because I’m supposed to move apartments on November 1. But let’s tempt fate, shall we?
SWOM it up!
