If you live in the Southeastern United States, you’re going to want to pencil in Internet Summit ‘08 in Chapel Hill, NC on November 19, 2008.

Tech Journal South is putting it on the event, and they’ve attracted quite the list of speakers, including the founders of ConnectU (the guys that sued Facebook, saying it was their idea), people from Microsoft, Lenovo, Citrix, Lulu, Weblogs, Lending Tree, Batanga and more.

Some social media types are speaking, including our friend Andy Beal over at Marketing Pilgrim. I’ll be moderating the panel on “Marketing in a 2.0. World,” but heck I’m really just excited to be going to the event.  Seems like a really solid one. In fact, when I saw the agenda, I knew that Ignite Social Media had to become a platinum sponsor.

Head over to Internet Summit 08 to learn more, or click here to register.   If you register before October 10th, you’ll save $100 off the walk-up fee.
