I am proud to announce that we have confirmed as our keynote speaker Mr. Ed Cone. Ed lives in Greensboro NC with his family. He is a senior writer with Ziff Davis Enterprise for CIO Insight magazine, a columnist and a blogger. He has been a staff writer at Forbes and a contributing editor at Wired amongst his many writing gigs.

As one of the founders of the ConvergeSouth conference and a primary instigator of the Greensboro blogging community, Ed will speak about using new media to create and nurse the community in your localities. I personally have had the opportunity to spend some time having conversations with Ed at various conferences and am delighted that he will come to our inaugural conference in Myrtle Beach. He’s a great guy, highly knowledgeable about new media and easy to talk to.

Come to CREATE South on April 19th and you too can hang out with Ed. See you there.
