For many of us, the cooler weather is creeping in but Radian6 has another plan. We are heading south! It’s time to talk social in the southern U.S. at a wide variety of conferences over the next few weeks. While the topics are vast, the concept is the same: the social web is changing the way businesses do business.

The first stop is BOLO 2011 in  Scottsdale, AZ. From October 9th through 11th,  Craig Comeau and Dave Lewis will be part of a conference which empowers marketing talent to leverage the power of the social web. With workshops, forums and even a Vaudeville-style event showcasing attendee talent, it seems that the social web and marketing could be a match made in Scottsdale.

Let’s travel further south to Dallas, Texas where Jamie Casey, Darren Macleod and Bob Faigel will meet call center professionals from around the world for ICMI’s Call Center Demo and Conference on October 11th through 13th. It’s a hands-on experience with tours of call centers, exhibits and presentations. All the while, attendees will learn how their day-to-day experiences are impacted by social media and the opportunities to utilize it for the greater good.

Our last stop for today’s post brings us about 1,100 miles southeast to the SOCAP Annual Conference in Orlando, FL. Join a group of Radian6ers including David Alston, David B. Thomas, Zoe Geddes-Soltess and Tom Hasselman for an experience about customer relationship management and the social web. It’s on October 16th through the 19th.

With all this hot social talk, I’ll apologize to my sweaters. They’ll have to wait a bit longer.

We want to know your travels for the next few weeks. What conferences are you attending? Are your social conversations heating up?
