Mr. Pink in Des Moines? Kind of…

[tweetmeme source="admavericks"]

No, not that Mr. Pink.

Here’s a cool idea that was spawned out of the Central Iowa Bloggers group. The group tried to get author, Daniel Pink, to come to Des Moines for a book signing. Mr. Daniel Pink is a New York Times best selling author and the idea of having authors and speakers consider Des Moines for signings and speaking events is a good thing!

Problem:  Daniel couldn’t be here in person.

Problem solved: Virtual book signing!

Here are the event details.

Virtual what? Here’s how it works.

Daniel has agreed to do a two-way webcast via Skype video on Feb 16, from 5-7 p.m. at the Des Moines Social Club. He will do a 20-30 min presentation and then open the floor for questions. At the end of the event, there will be a “book signing ceremony” where pre-signed name plates sent from Daniel will be attached to our books. If you register for the event prior to February 2nd you can get one of the free signed plates.

Want to continue the campaign for Iowa as social media capital of the world? Get involved with this! How stunned would Daniel Pink be to see hundreds of people for a virtual book signing? I don’t even know if there’s ever been a virtual book signing so do it for the sake of history.

Learn more about Daniel Pink on his blog or his new book Drive, on Amazon.

Let’s show Daniel Pink and other authors/speakers that Iowans show up for these type of things.

Thanks to the Des Moines Social Club for hosting the event and to the many Central Iowa Bloggers for organizing this! Again, here are the event details.
