Our next stop on the Road to Macstock Conference & Expo is a conversation with Allison Sheridan. We start out reviewing how a previous Road to Macstock session resulted in a change to Allison's topic before trying to figure out what she will present this year. Along the way ideas were proposed, discussed, and rejected. She finally decided on a topic…or did she? This edition of MacVoices is brought to you by our Patreon supporters.

From 2009: I love a good tradeshow. There’s something about all the people with common interests, gathered together in one location, eating overpriced, stale concessions while trading information and experiences, attending educational seminars, gossiping about their industry… That’s why I’m hoping that come October 2009, I’ll be one of the thousands in Las Vegas attending BlogWorld & New Media Expo.
Our guest today is the CEO and Co-founder of New Media Expo, so quite frankly I could have called him the Godfather of Podcasting and blogging. So I better be good on this episode, no pressure there then! Although an obvious entrepreneur in heart it wasnt always the case. He has been involved in the trade show industry since 1996 serving as sales manager and director of sales for three of Tradeshow Week's top 200 events.But his interest in blogging and online content really hit home during the explosion of the political blogosphere around the 2000 election season.Seeing content come online day after day, minute by minute, feeding comment and discussion worldwide, he knew that the future was all around us and it was time to get going himself.However every guest on “Join Up Dots” have found their path in life after a period of transition, and quite often it will be a lot longer coming than they probably would have considered was necessary looking back, and it seems to be the case here too.As even though he saw the positives, and excitement that new media could offer in 2000, he was finally inspired to launch his own blog in October of 2005.And it was a great success, even though he claims it was “unexpected success” and with his political blog gaining more and more ground online, he began searching for the blogging tradeshow to link it with. Amazingly he realized no such event existed, so he and his business partner Dave launched BlogWorld & New Media Expo in Las Vegas in November of 2007, and it went onto attract 1,600 attendees straight away.He had found his path and had started joining up those dots.So how did he do it?How did he manage to create something that was literally an overnight success? And more importantly, why did it take him so long to get started on the path to success that he was so obviously made for? Well lets find out as I introduce to you, the one and only Rick Calvert.
Ashton Holmes plays Tyler Barrol on the hit ABC Primetime series, "Revenge." He arrived in the midst of the Senator's party where he met Ashley and Emily. In Charade, we learn that he is a gay hustler. Well, he’s not really gay. He has an ambiguous sexual identity. He reveals that his family went from the penthouse to the streets awhile back. He makes a deal with Nolan so that he won’t dish on his past. He stole information from the Grayson's, hoping to become indespensible. Holmes made his television debut on the ABC Daytime soap, "One Life to Live." From appearances on "Ghost Whisperer," "Boston Legal," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," and "Nikita," Holmes made his mark as the bad boy with an agenda, Tyler, on "Revenge." Gabriel Mann plays the role of Nolan on ABC's "Revenge." He is Emily's ally in quest to avenge her father's death. While trying to surpise Ashton on the program, we actually spoke to him on what makes up Nolan Ross. Brian Gramo is the founder/creative director of TheStream.tv. It has been broadcasting Live, simultaneously to all major live video sites since 2006 having produced and aired over 1400 live episodes with VOD library containing over 1400 programs. Brian recently took part in the Blogworld New Media Expo (11/4/2011) panel where he'll shared the wealth of information he's accumulated over the past five years having started off in a small bedroom in Santa Monica, now in his four thousand square-foot HD-Studio facility in Hollywood.
We're excited to have one of Key West and Rehoboth Beach's favorite performers on the show…the incomparable Christopher Peterson. He's about to make the big move to Las Vegas, to show those bitches how it's done and we can't be more excited for his next chapter to start in Sin City. Dale, Scott & Jason catch up with Christopher; get all the top news stories from Sean Bugg at Metro Weekly magazine, including the continuing saga of DADT and bullying; Dale & Scott tell (most of) their tales from their long-weekend trip to Vegas for the BlogWorld & New Media Expo conference; we send a shout out to our 15 listeners in Uganda; point you toward GayCities.com's naked voters; and, announce the winner of this week's Pistol Pete contest. News, information, some dirty talk, and Las Vegas. What else could you need? This week on Episode 103—we call it “Quick Change,” in honor of Christopher Peterson—of the Swish Edition! Enjoy with a drink.

Matthew Snodgrass from ADM and Lippe Taylor interviews both Tim Bourquin of TNC New Media and Rick Calvert of Blog World Expo about the sale of Tim’s New Media Expo to Rick’s Blog World Expo. Separately, the two conventions were delivering a wide array of content and attendees. As the scope of the two shows started to overlap, Tim and Rick realized that the community would be better served by a single – and greater – convention.

Tim Bourquin is Founder and CEO of TNC New Media, Inc., an online media company that has developed, launched and grown several advertising-supported podcasting sites.

In 2005, Tim launched the Podcast and New Media Expo, a convention and conference for podcasters and online video creators. The event, was recently sold to BlogWorld Expo, is held annually and attracts thousands of podcasters who attend to learn how to create compelling shows and grow their audience. Rick Calvert is the CEO and Co-Founder of BlogWorld & New Media Expo. He has been active the trade show industry since 1998 working on three Tradeshow Week 200 events including the SEMA Show (#4), AWFS®Vegas (#39) and the DEMA Show #(97), as well as one of the nation’s largest consumer shows, Comicon.
