Yes, I’m a bit late on this, but just wanted to post some thoughts on the F.I.R.E. Sessions 2010 held by my friends at Brains on Fire. I had been burned out on conferences….too many of the same conversations and it sounds bad to say, the same people. The F.I.R.E. Sessions were my first conference [...]

I had the great fortune of attending An Event Apart 2010 in Minneapolis a few days ago. This was my second AEA conference and it was an overwhelming success. If you’ve never had the opportunity to attend and consider yourself a ‘web person’ you should find an opportunity to see this ‘all-star’ show. SPEAKER LINEUP [...]

On Friday (July 9), I attended Boston Social Media Breakfast 18. The Topic? Content Curation. It was a timely topic because I had been seeing a few posts lately that made me think that we are growing weary of the blog-as-news-feed format, and need to think fresh about how we present our content. This starts, [...]

Being based in Boston but spending a fair amount of time in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, I have had a chance to sample the “innovation” communities in both regions. One thing that struck me- and the catalyst for this post- is that in both areas I have seen events that highlight selected entrepreneurs, and [...]

Last week, I attended the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council’s Social Media Summit at the Microsoft NERD Center in Cambridge. A little background: two years ago, the Mass TLC held their first social media “unconference” event. What was fascinating then was not that a group of established New England technology masters mingled with some of the newer “social [...]

I consider it a privilege, living in Boston, to be associated with one of the most active, creative and just plain smart groups of social media thinkers in the world. One of our regular gatherings s the Social Media Breakfast, which takes place in many cities, but was founded (as was PodCamp) right here in [...]

WordCamp San Francisco is coming up this Saturday and for the second year, Voce will be sponsoring the event. It’s no secret we’re big fans of WordPress and the community, so we’re excited to be a part. It’s been another year of new sites and new challenges for the platform. Here’s a few things to [...]

This past week, I attended the New Communications Forum, birthplace of the Society for New Communications Research. It was my first visit (finally) to this event, and as expected there was lots to learn, discuss—and ask. Here are some impressions of the sessions I attended, along with samples of in-the-moment Twitter commentary: Tuesday opening keynote [...]

The math is simple: WordPress Fans & Developers + Beer = Good Times. As promised the first WordPress Happy Hour event was held in Des Moines, Iowa on March 9th and was a big hit. We were able to quench the thirsts of around 40 guests over a three hour span. We gave away two [...]

I recently had the pleasure of attending LaunchCamp in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The event, organized by Todd Van Hoosear and Chuck Tanowitz of Fresh Ground Communications (and both former colleagues), was a new one but took place in partnership with the long-running Social Media Breakfast and the Social Media Club. The partnership implied that a number [...]
