Miva Merchant Conference 2010 Resources #mmconf

If you're going to the Miva Merchant Conference in San Diego at the end of February, keep a link to this post as I'll update it with links to useful information both before, during and after the conference.

Twitter Feed: The hashtag for the conference is #mmconf. I created this feed page where you can watch Tweets updated every minute.

Pics: Leslie Kirk has been taking photos at the conferences for so many years that she's pretty much the official conference photographer. You can see past conference photos, and she'll be posting new photos throughout the conference.

Class Schedule (PDF): The official schedulemay change around a little as most of these types of events do. Here is the current agenda.

Facebook Event Page: Official event page on Facebook.

If you have any suggested resources/links, please let me know in the comments here. And come back often to see updates. I hope to see you in San Diego!

Miva Merchant People to Follow on Twitter

If you're using Twitter, you can follow people who often post about Miva Merchant, including the company itself! I've compiled a list of Tweeple who are in some way related to Miva Merchant - developers, designers, hosts, users, etc. and put them in a Twitter List:

http://twitter.com/MerchantTuts/miva-merchant

Bookmark the list because I'm going to add to it as I find new Miva-Tweeple. If you are not on the list, let me know at @MerchantTuts and I'll add you.

Thank you to Sabine Sharp (@GlendaleDesigns) for help in compiling this list.

OKAY! I could not find a working WordPress Survey plugin! So I put it on Survey Monkey. Please respond and share if you're a Twitter user:
