In just 24 hours, the event raised more than $4.6 million for the participating nonprofits. The Community Foundation was one of the organizations Chris worked with in 2016 during his seven-month stint with Humana, and they incorporated Facebook Live as a significant part of their marketing strategy with their weekly 'Getting to Know The Good' series.

My first career keynote came at the second Business Vlog Summit, held in Las Vegas Aug. 2-4. My keynote was titled 'Using Authentic Social Video to Change Your Business — and The World.' I was the event's leading Twitter influencer by almost a 3-to-1 margin.

I did not make it to Innocon itself, but I did attend the after-party at Barn Joo to meet up with its livestreaming host, Brian Fanzo.

I attended Social Media Day Houston as a special guest of Rebecca Councill, the founder of the Houston Social Media Association. The night before Social Media Day, I did a special Q&A about social media with Kristy Gillentine at the Drive West Communications office, and I was asked to introduce Kristy before her presentation at Social Media Day. I spent time consulting directly with some of Rebecca's local nonprofit clients, including the owners of Hotel Ylem in Houston, and filmed Episode 1 of 'The Strub and Blake Show' on Snapchat, for which we had a custom geofilter. I was ranked the No. 1 Twitter influencer at #SMDayHou.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters of America national conference features hundreds of CEOs, board members, staff members and dignitaries from around the organization, which has a presence in all 50 U.S. states and around the world. The event was in-kind sponsored by Facebook Live, and I played the role of official lives-streaming host, getting to interview celebrities including Frankie Muniz of 'Malcolm in the Middle,' Kate Snow of NBC, NFL Hall of Famer Darrell Green, keynote speaker Vu Le, plus dozens of BBBS staff members, and the National Bigs and Littles of the Year, from Ohio and Alaska. I also trailed CEO Pam Iorio onto the field at Petco Park as she threw out the first pitch to announce the launch of the 'Bigs in Blue' program in San Diego.  I did a Facebook Live using the DJI OSMO Mobile as well as an Instagram takeover that evening from Petco Park. The totality of our Facebook Live coverage -- more than 30 live-streams over three days -- gained over 30,000 organic views. I also presented solo about how affiliates can use live-streaming to their advantage.

In the summer of 2017, I worked with live-streaming app Live.me, through a Houston-based public relations agency, to assist with PR and related content creation. I attended VidCon as a Live.me VIP, and did a takeover of their Snapchat account on Day 2 of the multi-day event. I was interviewed by influencer Chase Crawford at the Switcher Studio booth, about '50 States, 100 Days: The Book,' as well as Live.me. I was ranked in the Top 60 Twitter influencers for #VidConUS, which is one of the largest gatherings of brands and creators in the world. Although I did not speak at my first VidCon, it is a future goal of mine.

I was invited as a special guest of host Ted Rubin to attend the #BISummit NYC at Spotify Headquarters. Although I did not speak at this event, I was its No. 1 Twitter influencer. 

I attended the Women's Empowerment Expo 2017 in Washington, D.C., to see speakers Brian Fanzo and Hilary Silver. 

I was honored to be asked to speak at the Shake-Up Show 2017, bringing my career full-circle from my first social media conference appearance in 2014 -- where I expressed interest in speaking at a future Shake-Up. At this event, I was on a three-person panel that spoke about live-streaming, along with Brian Rudolph and Christine Wilson, and moderated by Sophie Maerowitz of PR News. I also was featured in a spontaneous 'Unsession,' due to overcrowding of other event rooms, and led a roundtable discussion about Snapchat. I was rated the No. 1 Twitter influencer at this conference and had a custom Snapchat geofilter designed for the final day of the event. I also created a series of Snapchat videos and Periscope streams along a multi-day road-trip to build buzz for this event.

I was invited to speak about 'How Live-streaming is now a Broadcast Standard' at #MDMC17 through an old friend, T.J. Salopek, with whom I used to work at DealChicken (2011-2012). T.J. is good friends with organizer Perry Drake, who reached out to me in the spring of 2017. I appeared on the panel with Bonnie Frank, Ms. Candy Blog and Jordan Palmer, with moderator Kevin DePew. At #MDMC17, I was rated the event's No. 1 Twitter influencer, and had a custom Snapchat geofilter.

My first speaking engagement came at Summit Live 2016 in San Francisco, thanks to the generosity and support of Brian Fanzo and Ryan A. Bell. In the fall of 2015, I was watching one of Brian's live-streams, and when he saw I was actively commenting, he reached out and invited me in to appear on video on the stream. He allowed me to quickly explain my 50-state trip, and then proceeded to offer me a ticket to the event and a chance to speak on a big stage. I appeared twice at the event: a solo speech, and on the 'Social Good' panel with Derek Cowan, AJ Joshi, Arvin Poole and Dustin Berlin, moderated by Chris Heuer. My appearance at Summit Live 2016 was sponsored by Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central West Virginia.

My very first social media conference was the Social Shake-Up 2014 in Atlanta. I won a free ticket to the conference in the spring of 2014, before I quit my job at Ad Elements to take my first cross-country road trip, by being an active participant in a webinar held by Social Media Today. Robin personally reached out to me and the opportunity to attend was an offer I couldn't refuse. Sadly, Robin Carey passed away in a car accident in the winter of 2015, but her spirit lives on through the Shake-Up Show, which I returned to speak at in 2017.
