Quality Podium Time
Thursday, September 4th, 2008We were really looking forward to the SoCap08 conference (see previous post) so we were thoroughly thrilled to be asked by the SoCap folks to not just attend, but to present socialmarkets there!
That event is still a few weeks away, but our conference cup runneth over: we will also be presenting socialmarkets (more specifically the ideas behind it) at a conference called “Interesting New York“, next Saturday right here in NYC.
Interesting New York is just one in a group of “commercial and greed-free” globally dispersed conferences organized by The Open Intelligence Agency (OIA). These conferences all share one simple premise: a forum for presenting ideas which are, well… interesting.
Here’s how it works: you submit a brief overview of your (allegedly) interesting idea, and if the folks at OIA find it of sufficient interest, you’re in. Allan heard about the conference and made the submission… and happily, socialmarkets passed interesting muster - we’re in!
There are absolutely no subject constraints for candidates, so conference offerings cover an almost comically broad range of topics. A few samplings from earlier conferences hit on the art of storytelling, why some people are better swimmers than others, and the myths vs. realities of quicksand. I’m confident socialmarkets will fit quite neatly in there somewhere.
So… two opportunities to see socialmarkets strut its stuff live: next week in New York, and next month in San Francisco. Of course, we will be posting links to both talks on our site as soon as possible, so even if not in real-time, we hope you’ll join us…
