If you're attending BlackBerry Jam Americas in San Jose next week, be sure to sign up for JAM52: Talking to Bloggers and the Media.
I presented this topic at last year's DevCon, and it was one of the most-attended and top rated sessions from the conference. This year, we're kicking it up a notch - I'll be tag teaming the presentation with Victoria Berry from Research In Motion (yes, her last name is Berry.. and she works for BlackBerry).
In attending this session, you'll pick up a lot of tips on how to best deal with bloggers, the media and even RIM so you can better promote and market your apps. Session details below.
So if you're going to at the BBJam, come on down. It'll be a good time. I always have fun whatever I do, but in a session like this you'll get to catch a glimpse of my more serious business side. Hope to see you next week!Session ID: JAM52

Attending the BlackBerry Jam conference in San Jose next week? Be sure to sign up for my session!
@Kevin
Will we be able to watch this session online if we cannot attend BlackBerry Jam?
Either from RIM or someone on the CrackBerry Team.
Thanks a lot!
Love the unicorn
Will the unicorn be attending as well? If you are gonna ride, ride in style! lol
Signed up... though no offense there weren't many other sessions at that same slot, maybe RIM just knows better to not try to compete against the "Keynote Part Deux"

The $10k Developer Commitment one wouldn’t have been bad. But yeah, gotta check out this one.
Why does that unicorn look naked?!?!? And are you riding bareback!!!
I don't see a saddle.
Kevin looks like he's doing something bad to that unicorn.
indeed he does... Maybe the artist should add a tail to he white part in the back as to remove that optical illusion.
On a side note, love the phone attached to your head! Always looking for efficiency!
