			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>I attended what&#8217;s billed as the ultimate blogging conference of the year in <a href="http://www.visitlasvegas.com/vegas/index.jsp" target="_blank">Las Vegas </a>last weekend &#8211; <a href="http://www.blogworldexpo.com/" target="_blank">BlogWorld Expo 2009</a>.  I was there to speak on a travel panel about how companies like and choose to work with bloggers. This was the first ever track of travel sessions held at this conference. <br />
I was very fortunate to have fellow panelists at our session who really knew their stuff.  <a href="www.twitter.com/fairmonthotels" target="_blank">Mike Taylor </a>from <a href="http://www.fairmont.com/" target="_blank">Fairmont Hotels </a>and <a href="www.twitter.com/tommartin" target="_blank">Tom Martin</a>, blogger with <a href="www.helpmybrand.com" target="_blank">Helpmybrand.com </a>were not only super nice guys but great with their information and knowledge that the audience appreciated.  Another great connection was <a href="www.twitter.com/authenticseacoast" target="_blank">Doug Anweiler </a>from <a href="http://www.authenticseacoast.com/" target="_blank">Authentic Seacoast </a>who moderated our session. </p>
	<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-832" title="BWE Leanne 2" src="http://leanneslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/BWE-Leanne-2-300x166.jpg" alt="BWE Leanne 2" width="300" height="166" /></p>
	<p>This was probably my quickest ever trip to Vegas.  I arrived on Friday around noon and left Saturday night on the red-eye.  I took an hour Friday afternoon to walk down &#8220;the strip&#8221;.  No offense to anyone out there and again, this is just my opinion, but I&#8217;m fairly sure that Vegas ain&#8217;t my kinda town.   I don&#8217;t gamble, don&#8217;t smoke, not into sequinned clothes and can&#8217;t afford the shows. But the town was certainly hopping!</p>
	<p>While I was in Vegas I had the pleasure of running into two of the more prominent social media gurus, <a href="http://www.steverubel.com/" target="_blank">Steve Rubel </a>and <a href="http://www.guykawasaki.com" target="_blank">Guy Kawasaki</a>.  Not only did I run into them, but I was extremely fortunate enough to sit down to breakfast with them for nearly 2 hours.  What a morning that was!  Their knowledge and insights were fascinating.  They talked Twitter, LifeStream, and a lot of conversation around the best iPhone apps. </p>
	<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-834" title="Guy Kawasaki" src="http://leanneslife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Guy-Kawasaki-225x300.jpg" alt="Guy Kawasaki" width="225" height="300" /></p>
	<p>If I had been smart I would have grabbed my notebook and written down everything they said.  The funniest moment was when Steve dragged out his tool box for all his electronic gear he travels with &#8211; which he&#8217;s downsized to pretty much just the iPhone lately.  The coolest item was a battery charger he picked up at <a href="http://www.walmart.com/browse/Cell-Phones/Accessories/Iphone-Accessories/_/N-900oZaq90Zaqce/Ne-2p4j?ic=48_0&amp;ref=125875.419928&amp;tab_value=7880_All&amp;path=0:3944&amp;tab_value=7880_All&amp;catNavId=133161&amp;fromPageCatId=133161&amp;catNavId=133161" target="_blank">Walmart</a> for about $30 that will charge your phone when you&#8217;re not near an outlet.  That&#8217;s pretty cool.</p>

	<p>It was a great morning to be able to spend such quality time with them.  If you want to learn more about them just click on their names above and I&#8221;ve linked to their websites.  You should also follow them on <a href="www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.
