This last week at Blog Indiana, I met up with friend and fellow entrepreneur Mike Trotzke, co-founder of Sproutbox. If you’re an entrepreneur or involved in new media, you know about the upcoming event, The Combine.
The event is primarily Sept 10th and 11th, but the schedule overlaps both early with Sproutbox’s next selection, an Ignite event, and closes with an optional daylong session on Adobe Flex development. It’s held in Bloomington but will have celebrities and industry leaders from all over the country.
At the event, you’ll find speakers Ben Huh (I Can Has Cheezburger, FAIL Blog), Christian Lander (Stuff White People Like), Micheal Ian Black (Comedian), Micah Baldwin (Graphic.ly), Sloane Berrent (Answer with Action), Neil Patel (KISSMetrics & Crazy Egg), Michael Showalter (College Humor), Chris Wanstrath (GitHub).
I’ll be there, too, of course!
It’s featured sponsors are Sproutbox, Windows Phone (you’ll see a preview there!), my good friends at MailChimp and Expedia!
