Help Us Speak at SXSW
By leelefever on August 19, 2008 - 4:21pm.
It seems like a long way off, but South-by-Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) is just around the corner (March 2009). At the moment, the public is voting on what speaking panels should be accepted for the event. When the voting finishes (August 29, 2008) the SXSW staff will consider the results of the voting when deciding what panels will be picked.
I say all this because I hope you'll vote for our panel. :) Here are the details:

VizThink in Review
By leelefever on January 31, 2008 - 1:37pm.
Text and bullet points - they are dead, or at least used inappropriately. That was one of the overwhelming messages from VizThink, a two day conference on Visual Thinking. We agree.

VizThink is a conference about visual thinking. We'll be there leading a yet-to-named session that will focus on our story and the role of video and simplicity in communicating ideas with clarity.

New Friends from Bar Camp Vancouver 2007
By leelefever on August 19, 2007 - 5:20pm.
Pink shirts - that may be the one thing that will stick out years from now - the pink, er, fuchsia, shirts of BarCamp Vancouver 2007. This is not to say that the content and people weren't amazing - they were. But the shirts were unforgettable.

BarCamp Vancouver Session - Feedback?
By leelefever on August 16, 2007 - 11:05am.
BarCamp Vancouver is about to lift off and I'm so excited. Vancouver is easily one of my most favorite cities in the world and happens to have a load of great people - many of which are planners of the event.

Online Community Planning - Getting the Party Started
By leelefever on June 7, 2007 - 11:00am.
One of the mantras of the Online Community Unconference became "keeping the party rolling" - not because we partied all day in night, but because many attendees were already in the community business, but looking for ways to improve the experience and value on an ongoing basis. Indeed, the group was a mix of the very experienced and those just getting started.

Off to the Online Community Unconference
By leelefever on June 5, 2007 - 8:41am.
I'm heading down to the Silicon Valley for the Online Community Unconference put on by my friends at Forum One. If you're unfamiliar with an unconference, check out this wikipedia entry. Basically it's a great way to get people together without all the baggage (and costs) of a "conference."

Critiques of My Speaking
By leelefever on May 23, 2007 - 10:01am.
Speaking is hard, but I'm learning. Last night I ended a run of speaking that spanned 4 events, 2 different talks and wide variety of audiences over a couple of weeks. It's been a great chance to try out some of the things I've learned from the speaking coach and discover a lot of things that still need work.
Energy, Energy
