HHR Media Group and Modern Hombre Proudly Announce Blogs with Balls 2.0,
Partnering with Blog World Expo, takes influential sports media event to Las Vegas
(Las Vegas, NV) – Fresh off the success of Blogs With Balls 1.0 on June 13 in New York City, HHR Media Group and Modern Hombre are proud to announce BwB’s role as the organizer of the sports track at this year’s BlogWorld & New Media Expo, October 15-17 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Once again, Blogs With Balls will feature an all-star lineup of speakers and presenters representing not only the top names in the sports blogosphere, but also ESPN, Sports Illustrated, The Sporting News, and cutting edge new media agencies. Individuals such as television, web and print personality Kevin Blackistone, former NFL & NCAA star John Thornton, Deadspin.com editor-in-chief AJ Daulerio and Sacramento Kings VP of Communications Mitch Germann will highlight a series of discussions specific to both sports blogging and sports media in general. A full and current list of panels and speakers can be found at http://blogswithballs.com/panels-20/.
“At BwB 1.0 in June we saw up close how hungry the next generation of online sports media is to start rewriting the rulebook,” said HHR Media’s Chris Lucas. “When we get the influencers of today and tomorrow in the same room together, we begin changing the way sports media is defined and consumed at all levels.”
In partnering with BlogWorld Expo, the ante for Blogs With Balls 2.0 is decidedly raised, promising an even fuller experience for attendees. BlogWorld Expo is the largest new media conference in the world, featuring 3 Days of learning, 150+ Presenters, more than 50 seminars, panel discussions and keynotes from iconic personalities on the leading-edge of online technology and internet-savvy business in tech, sports, entertainment, politics and more.
“Where else can a local sports blogger get a receptive and willing audience with ESPN or Sports Illustrated execs, social media savvy athletes, and their colleagues from across the web? Blogs with Balls is utterly unique in that aspect, and we intend to make this event in Las Vegas one that won’t be soon forgotten,” said Blogs With Balls’ Kyle Bunch.
Blogs With Balls will be an all-day gathering and take place at the Las Vegas Convention Center on October 15. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online at blogswithballs.com/tickets.
