Build your own dream conference! Invite interesting people to BIL!

Important note -- don't spam your friends. Each invitation should be unique and specific to them. If you want them to take their time to come to BIL, please take some of your time to tell them why.

Here's a template e mail... Feel free to post your own!

Dear So-and-so,

I've been following your work re: (whatever they are doing that is rad). It would be a great addition to BIL, a free, open, and egalitarian analog to TED. We'd love to see you participate -- I know I'd be interested in discussing (something interesting about their work) with you.

The next BIL is Feb 7-8, '09 in California State University at Long Beach. More information is available on the website, http://www.BILconference.com. A listing of what's scheduled so far can be seen on the Talks page, http://bil.nowgetsocial.com/talks. To understand what the event is you might want to check out some of the blog postings from last year's participants... http://bilconference.com/about/media-coverage/

If you'd like to give a talk you can sign up on our website. http://bil.nowgetsocial.com/user/signup If you have any problems let me know and I'll help you out.

Thanks for the work you've done, I'm looking forward to more from you in the future.

Yours,

So-and-so
