How technology is transforming events One of my speaking bureau just asked me to provide them with a few quick ideas on how technology is changing events, as one of their key clients is having an internal meeting to discuss their future use of technology in events. I only had 10 minutes free to write something, so it’s far from comprehensive, but I thought worth sharing here. After events: - Social networking and discussions among people attending the event - Access to video and other event content - Run and track initiatives generated from the event - Suggestions for next events As I was looking for the links above, I was interested to see that introNetworks has morphed from an events platform to an enterprise platform that helps employees to make useful internal connections, including integration into SocialText. I was also saddened to see that the excellent nTag meeting serendipity enhancer, that I first wrote about in 2002, is now defunct.
Twitter network analysis of events – what’s possible? I recently connected with Daniel Knox (@djkn0x) on Twitter – which is where it seems most of my connections are happening these days. Among other interesting entrepreneurial activities Daniel is playing with a new venture that does analysis of Twitter activity around events. To show me Daniel created a visual network analysis of the Twitter activity around Future of Crowdsourcing Summit (#foc10) that we ran a few weeks ago in Sydney and San Francisco. Here is the explanation of the diagram that Daniel gave me: Here is a simple visualization of the #FOC10 tweeters. Daniel also provided the following stats: • Top tweeters using #FOC10: @natecochrane (38 #FOC10 tweets), @amylyden (29), and @kobygeddes (24) • Top people mentioned in #FOC10 tweets: yourself (32 mentions), @natecochrane (30), @stilgherrian (24) and @NicholasGruen (17) • Top url shared in #FOC10 tweets was the BBC story “Crowdsourcing work: Labor on demand or digital sweatshop?”
How I Got Sponsors & $ for My SXSW Trip Going to Conferences can be expensive especially for small business owners. I also commit some time in creating content for Papaheroes.com and Veglatino.com which are efforts that are currently done on our own time without any financial compensation. Finding Sponsors I surround myself with individuals that have creative ways of sharing information with me and play significant roles into many of my efforts. I consult with them on many of my key moves. I spoke to Mark Hayward and explained my concerns with not being able to make it to SXSW this year eventhough I had already bought my Airfare and Badge. He quickly gave me a few ideas on how to approach my dilemma and recommended to reach out to the communities I am a part of. Reaching out to Those Close to me I first contacted the San Juan Marriott because I have established a good relationship with them. Next I contacted Chris Brogan who has been a big influence in my life both personally and professionally. Partial Sponsorship
Want to get Sponsored? You’d Better Be Sponsorable WANT TO GET SPONSORED? YOU'D BETTER BE SPONSORABLE3 years ago Have you seen something like this floating through your social media data stream recently? “Who wants to sponsor me to go to Overrated Conference 2011?” “I need a sponsor for my blog. Anyone?” Just look around. Why? You want to be sponsored? What does that mean? It’s a real word, with real world repercussions. It means that if I’m going to spend money on you, whether it’s to sponsor your trip to SXSW, or buy an ad on your blog, or even give you miles to fly somewhere to do something, I’d better be getting something out of it, and strictly from a business perspective, it’d better be worth more than I’m putting into it. Simply put: Want me to play the role of Altruist with my sponsorship of you? Let’s understand how: Before you head to Twitter or Facebook to drop that first “Will you sponsor me” post, make sure your ducks are in some serious order. You’d better have the most brilliant one-line pitch I’ve ever heard.
