A Quick Conference Tip

I was talking to Matthew Buchanan of Promote the Progress and Rethink(IP) fame about a really cool thing he’s working on with the other Rethink(IP) guys (I’m sworn to secrecy, but the project’s code-name is “Merman”).  Matt told me he was going to a conference and I gave him a tip that makes more sense to me the longer I think about it:

If you write a blog and attend a conference, make sure the name of your blog is prominently displayed on your name badge.

I know more people know me by my blog then by my firm name.  Given the wonderful people you can meet through blogging, isn’t it better to give them an easier way to meet you, and vice versa?
