Tonight we will have a conversation with Chris Pirillo, of Lockergnome and Tech TV fame.
Chris may be known as a Windows guy, but we like to think of Chris as one of a core group of true
Internet Mavens. Chris’s specialty is a mastery over “opt-in” email lists.
As an online technology content provider, Chris has created content is different from your
run-of-the-mill Web site. His audience has been groomed to be extremely active, sending his Web
server logs spinning out of control. Chris’s goal has always been to feature the best of the
best, for his market segment. Although best know as a windows user resourse, Lockergone has

Gnomedex 3.0 attendees include a wide range of backgrounds including IT professionals,
business owners/managers, and enthusiasts from all over the world.

include: CrossPaths.net, i-Spot Access, and the Greater Des Moines Partnership. Estimated
attendance for 2003: 1,000.
This isn’t a convention where you get lost in the hallways; it’s a conference where you get
lost in the conversations. Wither the walls that keep us from connecting with new folks
and old friends; you’ve entered a live chat room, ready to listen to stories and solutions
that continue to make the Web spin. Scheduled presentations will keep you captivated, and
surrounding peers will keep you motivated.
Chris Pirillo is a best-selling author and creator of the award-winning Lockergnome e-zine,
has found the answer to harnessing the complete potential of technology. Profiled by such
publications as The New York Times, Fortune, and Inc. Magazine, Pirillo has made the corporate
and electronic elite stand up and take notice with the technical tips and trends contained in
his Lockergnome newsletters. With no marketing budget, Pirillo attracted over 350,000 confirmed
subscribers, including some of Silicon Valley’s highest profile innovators – and found
advertisers in thought leaders, including Google and Microsoft.
In addition, Chris is a foremost commentator on the newest innovations that are expanding the
limits of technology and our imaginations. For a year, he hosted a weekly “technology” show
on AM 1040 WHO, Iowa’s premier talk radio station on the Clear Channel Communications Network.
With 50,000 watts of pure Pirillo presence, he kept listeners infotained with local and
national guests. His shows were recorded live and archived on the Web for international
coverage. He moved on to host a daily television show in San Francisco; with his guidance,
TechTV’s Call for Help survived three layoffs.
Chris is now co-authoring a book with John C. Dvorak. “Online!” will be
published by Prentice-Hall in October (2003). His personal online journal (Weblog)
pulls in an active audience as he continues to create successes that work in conjunction
with the evolving Lockergnome brand. He speaks to professional organizations large and small,
in person or via the Internet, and his media career is about to go into overdrive. If people
haven’t heard of Chris Pirillo before now – they will soon.
