From Liz’s bio at SOBCon<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Liz is known as a relationship geek, a person who answers every comment, and someone who never sleeps. If you ask her about it, she\u2019ll tell you she lives inside your computer. Some folks have started to believe that. She believes blogging is about the people and, as part of her B.A.D. Blogger program, Liz calls a blogger a day to find out more about the folks who blog.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Liz Strauss has worked in print, software, and online publishing with small companies and corporate giants such as Pearson, Reed Elsevier, and Wolters Kluwer. She conceived and drove the reader-centered strategy that turned around a sharply declining company, taking it from $9M to sell for $35M in 3 years. Her presentations are known for being fun, insightful, and packed with quality content.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Liz is an influencer in the blogging and social networking community and we are very excited to have Liz participate in WordCamp Chicago!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
