REMINDER: Grow Smart Biz Conference on September 29 with Senator Mark Warner and author of "Free", Chris Anderson

If you are a casual reader to this blog you have probably heard that on September 29, in Washington, DC, Network Solutions is hosting the Grow Smart Biz Conference.

We have some great speakers with Keynotes by Chris Anderson and Virginia Senator Mark R. Warner for the GrowSmartBiz Conference.

Senator Mark Warner of Virginia

Senator Warner was elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2008, and serves on the Senate’s Banking, Budget, Commerce and Rules committees. He served as Governor of Virginia from 2002-2006 after spending 20 years as a business leader in the high-tech industry. He also is the co-founder of telecommunications firm Nextel Communications, now known as Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S).

“Senator Warner has been a well-known leader in the high-tech industry for more than 20 years,” said Melina Formisano, vice president of marketing at Network Solutions. “He will provide GrowSmartBiz Conference attendees with a unique perspective due to his vast experiences.”

Chris Anderson of Wired Magazine and best selling author of “Long Tail” and “Free”

For those of you not familiar with Chris, he is editor-in-chief of Wired, where he wrote an article in the magazine entitled The Long Tail , which he expanded upon in the book “The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business Is Selling Less of More“ (2006).

Recently, Geoff Livingston of CRT/Tanaka and “The Buzz Bin” and myself had the opportunity to speak with Chris Anderson about his new book “FREE: The Future of a Radical Price” and the impact these business model have on small businesses.

The Grow Smart Biz conference is a premier one-day event featuring renowned small business leaders and well-known industry experts.
