"Paul Chaney delivered an unbelievable presentation to the Lafayette Chamber’s annual Building Community Conference this past weekend. I was fortunate enough to be asked to introduce Paul and let me tell you, he absolutely blew the crowd away. Paul had to leave immediately afterward, but I cannot tell you how many people came up to me after the fact and said that he was the best speaker we had all weekend. He busted his butt preparing for that presentation, and he absolutely knocked it out of the park. Mark my words, Paul Chaney is going to be a nationally recognized authority on social media."

After he left, several club members stayed around to talk about ways they could use blogs in their own professions, then yesterday I received two new blogs from a couple of my clients who attended. Apparently they found his presentation extremely useful.
