I live in Europe and have been an active part of the #eventprofs Twitter group for about a year. In March, I will be moving back to the US. I thought EventCamp would be a good opportunity to connect with the others in the Twitter group face-to-face.

The EventCamp format and content appealed to me, because I am passionate about using social media and interactive meeting technology to tap into the ideas, wisdom and talents of the attendees. Since EventCamp is a first of its kind - I thought that I didn't want to miss it.

Also, I got a killer deal on the airline ticket. Thanks Continental!

See you in NYC!

Having said that - when I do find something that I like..."

All: Hybrid Events
"Hi Mike,After I made my last comment, I logged into Google Wave and saw that there is a parallel conversation starting there around this hybrid events session. It brought up a couple of questions for me around engaging the "virtual attendee" and pre-event conversations.(1) Under what circumstances would you want to move a session discussion from the Conference community to another platform - li..."

"Hi Deborah, I would love to connect with you and whomever else is talking about this. I have seen a few models - but I am curious to learn more about them. (Sadly - my fishbowl session is at the same time as this one. So, I can't be in both places at once.)"

There will be 5 chairs in the middle of the room. Four of those chairs will be occupied. The 4 people in the fishbowl will ..."
