Larry Bailin to Keynote at TENCon 2011 in Orlando, Florida.

Sept. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Best-selling author, Internet marketing CEO and social media expert Larry Bailin will deliver the keynote presentation at this year’s TENCon—the annual technology, education and networking event hosted by Applied Systems Client Network (ASCnet) for members and other industry professionals. TENCon runs September 20-23 at the Gaylord Palms Hotel & Convention Center near Orlando.

Considered to be one of the foremost experts in the Internet marketing space, Bailin will share his knowledge with TENCon attendees in a presentation titled, “Clicking Ass!™ - The New Art of Getting What’s Yours… Customers.” In the talk, Bailin will examine everything from search engines to social media, websites to videos, blogs to email, and then some! He’ll cover what works, what doesn’t, and give attendees the tools they need to become “Click Ass” marketers.

Bailin’s website describes his presentations—and style—like this: “There’s a ton of information on marketing out there, but most of it is overstuffed with incomprehensible technical phrases, some of it so boring it’d be easier to stay awake during an accounting lecture….As a humorous business speaker, it’s Larry’s job to sort through the technicalities to make the Internet not only an understandable marketing tool, but an accessible and desirable one.”

Wide Range of Learning Options
TENCon attendees will be able to round out their learning through any of the 150-plus sessions being offered this year. Topics range from accounting to office procedures to social media and more.
