BlogWorld definitely isn’t above trying new and different things and this year’s Expo is no different as they just announced that Jim Farley, Ford Group Vice President, will be delivering this year’s keynote.

Farley is vice president for global marketing, sales and service for Ford and this will be the first time that an automotive executive will be giving a keynote at a BlogWorld & New Media Expo.
