So many great speakers!  So many awesome sessions!  Yes, LeadsCon ’12 will offer more learning and networking opportunities than one person can possibly attend … so how do you know where to spend your time?

DoublePositive to the rescue.  Today, we’re offering our “Top Picks, Part II” for can’t-miss speakers and topics.  (Here’s “Top Picks, Part I”).

Like we said previously, this list is made up of the topics we are most interested in.  Please don’t feel bad if we didn’t highlight your event in this pre-show blog.  Feel free, in the comments below, to tell us why we should, and you just may see us in the audience at the show!

And now, friends, open your calendar, and get ready to plug in these choicest of events.  Here’s today’s batch of Top Picks for LeadsCon ‘12, and why we like them:

TUESDAY, 2:00-2:30PM
Break-out Sessions, Financial Services Track, “Inside the Great Big Ping Tree Circle Jerk”

Colorful title, and don’t worry, you won’t be bored.  QuoteWizard are good guys.  This is the second act for the founders, who sold their previous business to Education Dynamics and now focus on insurance.

TUESDAY, 2:30-3:00PM
Break-out Sessions, Financial Services Track, “What the Agents Have to Say”

Mike Ferree is a good friend of DoublePositive and runs a popular industry blog at LeadCritic.com.  Mike is Director for LeadsCouncil, and we’re interested in hearing insights from his ever-expanding point of view.

TUESDAY, 2:50-3:30PM
Break-out Sessions, Financial Services Track, “Is ‘Lead Gen’ a Dirty Word?”

This should be an interesting and engaging discussion on positioning vs. sentiment.  The moderator is Jeff Lawson, CEO & Co-Founder of Twilio.  Panelists include DoublePositive’s own Co-Founder & EVP of Sales Joey Liner (you may know him as “the mayor of LeadsCon”), along with other experts in lead generation.

TUESDAY, 4:00-4:45PM
Sponsored Workshops, “Lead Industry Awards (Presented by: Leads360)”

Sure to be a crowd pleaser.  Leads360, a strategic partner of DoublePositive, will look back on 2011 to award the top performing lead generators across verticals, as well as look forward to the opportunities for continued growth and evolution in 2012.

TUESDAY, 4:30-5:00PM
Break-out Sessions, Education Track, “New Technology Showcase”

New tech showcases are always fun.  Among the presenters are good friends of DoublePositive, including Joe Charlson of CallerReady, and Dave Wengel, who is a former TARGUSinfo and LeadsCon/LeadsCouncil executive and current Founder & CEO of iDatafy.

We warned you that LeadsCon ’12 has almost too many great sessions to offer!  And yes, there are still more to come.  Check back soon for DoublePositive’s Top Picks, Part III.
