When Maren Hogan asked if we’d like to help spread the word about RecruitFest! 2009 “in an organic way” that makes sense for us and our blog readers, we said yes without hesitation.
That’s one indication of the kind of people behind RecruitFest!, not that the ubiquitous crew at RecruitingBlogs.com need any introduction. Jason Davis operates his media businesses guided by the best elements of the online social media ethos: the commitment to sharing, learning from one another, being authentic, transparent, and generally using good manners and common sense to do the right thing. All that stuff we learned in kindergarten…
Born online, the community of RecruitingBlogs.com uses RecruitFest! to take the conversation strictly OFFline. As they state on the Need To Know section of the event page, “The goal is real, present, communication.”
I like it.
Last year, everyone participant I spoke to liked it too.
So with blog posts, and tweets, and referrals and conversations we’re gladly lending our voice to the many saying, “Check out RecruitFest!” coming up next month in Toronto. We hope our conversations may reach some of you who don’t otherwise know about this event.
The session leaders include Geoff Webb, Stephanie Lloyd, Jerry Albright, Julia Stone, the Recruiting Animal, John Sumser, Marie Journey, Jason Davis, and Jenny DeVaughn.
Lastly, we have ONE ticket to the event to give away. If you’d like it, simply add a comment to this post or send an email to info@hrmarketer.com. We’ll award the ticket to the first qualified entry (making sure you’re a real-deal member of the recruiting community and that you’ve read the “What you need to know about RecruitFest!” page.)
After all, “you cannot hide at RecruitFest! Your participation is required.”

Alas, as the organizer for this Recruitfest I'm not a track leader, however, you can still chat with me a lot at Recruitfest...hope to see you there and thanks again for the excellent post.

Geoff,
And it's the chats - and the serious discussions - that really make RecruitFest what it is, or that's what I hear anyway...
Thanks for your comment.

This is an unbelievable presenter lineup, and an incredible chance to network. Lucky is the person who wins the "golden ticket".
Thanks
The Recruitfest looks like an awesome opportunity to meet some of the recruiters I have chatted with online and learn some new recruiting tips.
I would be thrilled to win the ticket to Recruitfest.
Very nice. RecruitFest sounds like THE event...
"RecruitFest! is very grass roots and the amount of stuff you’ll learn by attending doesn’t come just from the track leaders or most experienced recruiters but from every person around the table or in the room"
I couldn't agree more - it's not just about hearing what "experts" have to say, it's also them learning from anyone and everyone else there.
I would love to attend

Thanks for your comments.
Are those comments also entries/request for the ticket?
Don't be coy :-)
Jonathan
Wow, it's hard to give a away something free sometimes :-)
Family commitments and tons of new job orders have kept our first and second winners from claiming our ticket.
Let's hope Dan can do it.
Anyone else want to get in line just in case?
