Seriously people, only 39 days before I'm in Vegas, reporting to you on what's coming up for the rest of 2012 and a few sneak peeks into 2013. Oh yes. I'm giddy thinking about it. Honestly, the next 60 days of my life seem to be pretty fantastic - I have a lot going on.
Today, I have a treat. Now, this press release is from April but since then, one panel member has been replaced... by MOI. Yes, I will be part of the following press release, with my expertise (sweet!) on social media.
Here's my little bio that will be available to those who are attending the panel. (Whoa, girl needs head shots... cough)
Krystal Seidel | PolishGalore | Founder/Blogger - Krystal Seidel is a working mother in South Texas who's passion for nail polish has blossomed into the nail blog Polish Galore.

Krystal helped create one of the first Facebook game applications, (fluff)Friends, in 2007 and utilized various social networking programs to help (fluff)Friends grow to over 10 million installs in its lifetime.
Yeah buddy.
Now for the rest of the press release. (For those keeping score, I'm replacing Jeremy Thompson, who will be giving a different conference at the same time). Images courtesy of Y! PR.
CPNA TO FOCUS ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA
DEMOCRACY
LEARN HOW TO MANAGE
FEEDBACK IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA LANDSCAPE
Las Vegas, NV (April
26, 2012) – Popular social media
outlets such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest are changing the way consumers
interact with brands on a daily basis. This instant, digital platform has paved
the way to encourage consumers to engage and provide feedback within the online
community. Although this idea might present opportunistic discussion, what
happens when this open channel of communication results in less than positive
feedback from the public – how should a brand respond?
Join Cosmoprof North America (CPNA) and four social media savvy influentials as
they shed some light on how to handle the communication process between brands
and the public, whether it is positive or negative feedback. Moderated by Brad
Masterson, Vice President of Y Public Relations, the “Join the Social Media Democracy”
session will be held at Cosmoprof North America on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 from 10:00 a.m.
to 11:00 a.m.
