Adult reps will focus on marketing strategies.

ATLANTA, Ga. — Adult biz professionals Jim “GonZo” McAnally, Scott McGowan and Mike South will join mainstream panelists at Atlanta's annual Dragon*Con event Saturday to discuss marketing strategies as they pertain to community-based websites.

The panel, entitled 15 Minutes of Fame (or more) With Web 2.0, will focus on ethics, effective content creation and networking techniques in the Cherokee room of the Atlanta Hilton & Towers.

The panel will cater to those working in the arts such as musicians, authors, models and photographers as well as e-commerce entrepreneurs and other Internet professionals.

For Scott McGowan, the panel’s creator and moderator, Dragon*Con serves as an opportunity to pass along knowledge and experience to an eager and relevant audience.

“Dragon*Con is the largest science-fiction and popular arts convention in the U.S. and has attracted 30,000 attendees in each of the last two years,” McGowan said. “Among these 30,000 people are a large number of artists and web professionals who will find this information extremely valuable.”
Also joining the panel will be Matthew Wayne Selznick from the human-curated search engine site Maholo.com along with Scott Sigler, a popular science-fiction author who parlayed episodic podcasting into print publishing.
"The immediacy of the internet gives artists a new way to connect," Sigler said. "If you can put it online, you instantly have a potential distribution of a billion people. The gatekeepers are gone, now it's all up to the audience to decide what is good and what blows."
Dragon*Con runs annually over Labor Day weekend. This year’s event will take place from Aug. 31-Sept. 3 and is housed within the Atlanta Hyatt Regency, Atlanta Marriott Marquis, and the Atlanta Hilton & Towers. For more information on this event, visit DragonCon.org

What this release doesnt say is that we are also launching a new community at Dragoncon and throwing an inaugurial party which will be sponsored by Xpeeps and socialkink.com .

I know a lot of you have to be looking sideways at this wondering how it applies to adult.

It does but not for the reason some of the folks at Dragoncon might think.

Stay tuned! There will be pictures and video.
