What is Jeff Pulver doing reviewing cars?
Thank you GM, and thank you Chris Barger for making this happen. GM's Buick Division is the lead sponsor for 140Conf Detroit. If you want to see what Buick is up to, here's a previous post I did from an event that Buick held in San Antonio, previewing some of their new cars with Michelle Bunker - another member of the awesome GM / Buick PR team. (Memo to BMW / Mercedes / Audi / Acura: watch out).
Oh- my two cents.... we're sharing the driving and I have to say that I am impressed. The first thing you feel when you get into this car are the seats. They feel tight and fit well. The interior is spacious, and a sporty feel that's almost like a Cadillac CTX sedan.As you can see in this drive, this thing has pep. On the freeways around Detroit, this car smokes with power.
The Buick brand is on the road and made it's way to San Antonio last night. I had the chance to connect with GM / Buick PR Representative Extraordinaire, Michelle Bunker, (twitter link) who's also part of the team helping to bring the #140Conf to Detroit on October 20.
If you're considering a new car in the near future, check out the specs on the Buick Regal Show Car. Here's a link to the brand's Facebook page. I'm now a fan. How about you?
And, if you would like to submit your proposal as a speaker, just log on here. Jeff Pulver is hoping for people from across America to travel to Detroit and have a first hand opportunity to meet some of the individuals responsible for the rebirth of this great American city.
I'll be supporting Jeff on PR support. Having taken part in the #140Conf NY / LA / London and most recently the one in NY in April, I am thrilled to discover and meet new people like Michelle as well as those at GM, Detroit and from the greater #140Conf Community who will take part in this amazing event.
I can't wait to test drive a Buick Regal this fall!
I first met CNN’s Laurie Segall at SXSW 2010 in Austin. She has one of the best gigs in the world – reporting and covering emerging technology trends. You can follow her on Twitter and track her reporting in New York and when she travels.
Even with the vast resources of a news organization like CNN, it still takes bright, insightful people like Laurie who are open to covering changes in how we consume and many times produce our own news.
Laurie joined us at the recent #140Conf NY to cover the two-day event and to find what speakers and conference attendees are thinking and where the social web is heading.
Here’s her take.
