In my other existence as an Advertising bloke I got this come on from Mediaweek:
“Pete Wentz, singer, songwriter and bassist for the band Fall Out Boy, will headline a Q&A Keynote entitled “Rock Star Connects – How to Build a Following of Dedicated Fans.” Wentz, who has over 2 million followers on Twitter, has also effectively harnessed other social media sites like Ning to promote his music and clothing line and develop a rock solid relationship with his fans.
Presented by YouTube, Social Media Strategies will also feature Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia and Wikia.com and other social media thought leaders from The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Mashable, Meebo, PepsiCo Beverages, Threadless – and many, many more!
Tickets ($699 for 2-day conference) are available online at www.socialmediastrategiesconference.com or by calling 646-654-7254.”
2M, eh? Guess it is better than singing.
