Back in a post last August, I asked you, my blog readers and twitter followers, to vote for my SxSW proposal: “Forging your Ideal Career”. And you listened! Today I’m very happy to announce that I will be speaking at the 2010 South By Southwest Interactive Festival.

Earlier this week I attended at the Nonprofit Technology Conference in San Francisco, CA. As a technologist, I attend several conferences a year (in the past 6 months, I’ve attended the Thin Air Summit, Web Directions North, WordCamp Denver, South By Southwest, and now NTC.)
The use of social media and technology at these [...]

Core Conversations at SxSW

March 17, 2009

Sessions at the South By SouthWest conference are classified as keynotes, solo presentations, panels, core conversations, book reading, or trade show events. In my initial planning of sessions to attend, I shied away from the Core Conversations, as I worried that the non-structured format would not offer the insights as more planned sessions. As it [...]

Chicks Digg IT

August 13, 2008

As I mentioned, I’d been speaking with some of my colleagues at Resource Interactive about a pitch for SxSW. Lara Lebeiko had the idea of speaking about women in the IT field. I have my notes from one of our phone conversations, where she said she did not want it to be a feminazi panel [...]

PodCamp Ohio Networking

June 29, 2008

As always, some of the best outcomes from an event are a result of the interaction with other delegates. There is something special about a group of actively engaged, newly informed individuals. Going into PodCamp Ohio, I hadn’t been sure about the people I would meet. I wasn’t a podcaster, would I have things to [...]

June 29, 2008

The final session of the day that I attended was on strategies for blogging and social networking marketing. Some of the content was similar to the viral campaign session I’d attended earlier, I liked the use of the one specific case study to frame their work.

Podcamp Ohio

June 24, 2008

I’ve noticed that @podcampohio has been following me on twitter for awhile, but hadn’t thought too much of it. Today, however, a colleague at work asked if I was attending this weekend. While I hadn’t really thought about it (and already have plans mid-day), I checked out the line-up, and made a quick decision to [...]

Making RIAs Accessible – Slides

June 6, 2008

Here are the slides from my second presentation from Spring <br />. Coming into this presentation, I was less nervous than about the first, which in some ways I believe contributed to a weaker presentation.
I had asked the conference organizers if I would have the same audience in the two sessions, and it was generally [...]
