crlambert Thank you to all, had a great first time experience! #eventprofs -9:58 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jkhewett Thanks everyone! Great chat ... hope to see you again on Thursday #eventprofs -9:58 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @jkhewett It's sort of like recording events for people that aren't at live meetings. Just not the same. #eventprofs -9:58 PM Apr 20th, 2009

mildavw <- software developer. Web app that archives scheduled twitter parties for later viewing. Domain name ideas? #eventprofs -9:58 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jessrafferty @JessicaLevin Agree. And I kind of like the blog idea (am I the only one?) A concise recap & thoughts isnt too time consuming #eventprofs -9:57 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester @ImpressionEvnts http://hashtags.org/ is a great place to see what people are talking about right now - then dive in! #eventprofs -9:57 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jkhewett @JessicaLevin Agreed .. you get much more out of the interaction. But as a way to archive after and go deeper #eventprofs -9:57 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark {moderator} Thank u for a lot of food 4 thought all. Don't forget Thurs's chat 12 PM EST :) #eventprofs -9:57 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @crlambert great point carla mostly right now we are talking about how to make this available to those that miss the event #eventprofs -9:57 PM Apr 20th, 2009

eventbootcamp http://www.wikination.ca is a great example of professionals sharing expertise #eventprofs -9:56 PM Apr 20th, 2009

crlambert @ready2spark just responding to my impressions as a first time participant. Maybe we are over thinking?? #eventprofs -9:56 PM Apr 20th, 2009

debbiechong @JessicaLevin Hmm. It's somewhere in the UI. I have events that I say I am going to... Not easy to find. :( #eventprofs -9:56 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jkhewett @KLBeaune My head is spinning too ... unfortunately for me it' a headache #eventprofs -9:56 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ImpressionEvnts @marksylvester ic, i havn't come across any in mine #eventprofs -9:56 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @jkhewett I like the Wiki idea, but wouldn't want it to replace the chat sessions. #eventprofs -9:56 PM Apr 20th, 2009

KLBeaune My head is spinning...mgmt fees good...mark-ups bad...wiki...blog... #eventprofs -9:55 PM Apr 20th, 2009

crystalbruce @MikeMcCurry Wish I would have discovered this a long time ago! #eventprofs -9:55 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester @ImpressionEvnts There is no directory of tweetchats going on, I look at the Trends in Twitter and can find them tho #eventprofs -9:55 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark @crlambert Just to clarify, we'll retain our Twitter chats. The Q was raised as to how to document the convo after the chat. #eventprofs -9:55 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @debbiechong I have two groups, but the event module was missing. Ironic not to be able to post events for eventprofs. #eventprofs -9:55 PM Apr 20th, 2009

debbiechong @MikeMcCurry Impressions - great to meet so many ppl in one hour. #eventprofs -9:55 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jkhewett For this application I would think a Wiki would work better .. #eventprofs -9:55 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ImpressionEvnts @marksylvester I mean how do i know what kind of chats are out there #eventprofs -9:55 PM Apr 20th, 2009

crlambert @MikeMcCurry why are we trying to make something so dynamic into a static document? The value to me is the real time sharing. #eventprofs -9:54 PM Apr 20th, 2009

GregRuby @jkhewett They are probably getting a restraining order... #eventprofs -9:54 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester @ImpressionEvnts search.twitter.com #journchat, #educhat #eventprofs -9:54 PM Apr 20th, 2009

maryboone The wiki will help organize ideas, but will have a different feel in terms of tone and timing. Depends on your objectives! #eventprofs -9:54 PM Apr 20th, 2009

debbiechong @JessicaLevin Not sure, I run a group and we post discussions, PPTs, PDFs, job listings, etc. It's for my banking school alumni #eventprofs -9:54 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jkhewett I hope we didn't scare them off! #eventprofs -9:54 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @ready2spark I like the wiki concept.. more free form and collaborative #eventprofs -9:54 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ImpressionEvnts @marksylvester How do you find those chats? #eventprofs -9:53 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester Blog = original thought with commenters (sp) - wiki = collaborative thoughts from the crowd, built together #eventprofs -9:53 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @ready2spark I like the open format like Twitter with ability to delete inappropriate comments. #eventprofs -9:53 PM Apr 20th, 2009

crystalbruce @ready2spark I think the interaction of a Wiki could be great #eventprofs -9:53 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry Hey First timers what are your impressions out of the gate? #eventprofs -9:53 PM Apr 20th, 2009

eventbootcamp @ready2park - happy to help moderate and a wiki for eventprofs is great idea! #eventprofs -9:53 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ImpressionEvnts I vote for blog #eventprofs -9:53 PM Apr 20th, 2009

debbiechong @ready2spark Another tool is Nutshell Mail but it has a ltd of 20 tweets per hour. Sends you a summary via email. #eventprofs -9:52 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark Do you like the idea of anyone being able to add content (wiki) or moderators (blog)? #eventprofs -9:52 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @ready2spark wiki? #eventprofs -9:51 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark @marksylvester True. But it becomes difficult to build off of specific sub-convos. It's very linear. #eventprofs -9:51 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jessrafferty @maryboone Oh that is also a very good idea #eventprofs -9:51 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester @mildavw Tonight there are three tweetchats going on - educhat, us and journchat #eventprofs -9:51 PM Apr 20th, 2009

 

 

 

 

jessrafferty @maryboone Oh that is also a very good idea #eventprofs -9:51 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester @mildavw Tonight there are three tweetchats going on - educhat, us and journchat #eventprofs -9:51 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark Recap: Moderator schedule 2 b created. Investigate a way to arch convos. #eventprofs -9:50 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @debbiechong Can you post group specific events on LinkedIN. I tried it the other nite and couldn't get it. #eventprofs -9:50 PM Apr 20th, 2009

maryboone @impressionEvnts I like the idea of putting it into a blog. Each moderator could summarize for the blog. #eventprofs -9:50 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester If you tag things with #eventprofs during the week, and we all have a pane in Tweetdeck open, then the chat extends beyond now. #eventprofs -9:50 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jkhewett I too would be glad to moderate a time or two :-) #eventprofs -9:50 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @ready2spark Talk to the MeCo people. Then can give you some ideas. #eventprofs -9:50 PM Apr 20th, 2009

GregRuby @MikeMcCurry @JessicaLevin You will have a blast moderating!!! #eventprofs -9:49 PM Apr 20th, 2009

mildavw Are twitter parties common enough for this to be a need for lots of folks? Or are event pros just on the bleeding edge? ;) #eventprofs -9:49 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @ready2spark Would be a good use of the FB discussio board/wall. #eventprofs -9:49 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark @jessrafferty Great idea on the calendar! #eventprofs -9:49 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ImpressionEvnts or we can open a blog on blogger? the moderator can copy and paste the convos and we can still comment on the chat after #eventprofs -9:49 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jessrafferty @ready2spark I know what to do. create a gmail for eventprofs. share calendar and docs w/members #eventprofs -9:49 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @ready2spark I like that idea.... #eventprofs -9:49 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @ready2spark I can moderate as well given a lead time. #eventprofs -9:48 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jessrafferty @MikeMcCurry @ready2spark I can too. Maybe we can create a monthly calendar #eventprofs -9:48 PM Apr 20th, 2009

debbiechong @Ready2spark Best collaboration tools are on LinkedIn for groups. #eventprofs -9:48 PM Apr 20th, 2009

crlambert When I bookmark it on diigo.com, the tweets are all there. I'll try it after we are done to see if it still works. #eventprofs -9:48 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @ready2spark I will gladly take a turn at moderating #eventprofs -9:48 PM Apr 20th, 2009

GregRuby @ready2spark Based on your experience as moderator, would that be realistic to do? #eventprofs -9:48 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester @ready2spark Whatever it is, it has to be easy. No one on this chat has time, or energy to add more work. #eventprofs -9:48 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark If we did a WIKI, ppl could build on ideas long after the chat. #eventprofs -9:48 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @ready2spark Well I am saving tonights. I can e-mail to you for FB group. #eventprofs -9:48 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ImpressionEvnts @ready2spark that's a great idea, unfortunately, I'm not available for every chat so I can't help with moderating #eventprofs -9:47 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jessrafferty @ready2spark Yes great idea #eventprofs -9:47 PM Apr 20th, 2009

dshiao FB RT: InXpo Live BtoB - 5 simple rules to prepare for a virtual exhibition interview w/@virtualevents: http://twurl.nl/6k74f3 #eventprofs. -9:47 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark @jessrafferty We could do a WIKI for eventprofs. #eventprofs -9:47 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry Create a PDF that with one click can be downloaded #eventprofs -9:47 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark @JessicaLevin I've asked a few times if ppl want to moderate - maybe the moderator can recap? Any interested candidates? #eventprofs -9:47 PM Apr 20th, 2009

debbiechong @marksylvester A little different than Tweetdeck. Advanced searching and no limits on saves. #eventprofs -9:46 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jessrafferty @JessicaLevin GREAT idea! Or there has to be some sort of public FTP site.. #eventprofs -9:46 PM Apr 20th, 2009

 

 

 

 

ImpressionEvnts and have the d/l link available on the fb group? #eventprofs -9:46 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester http://sideline.yahoo.com/ - I think it might be similar to TweetDeck though #eventprofs -9:46 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @jessrafferty Great idea Jess #eventprofs -9:46 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ImpressionEvnts For the tweeters that chat every time would it be possible to upload it to a certain online storage site.... #eventprofs -9:46 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @ready2spark Can we post to the Facebook group? #eventprofs -9:45 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jessrafferty @JessicaLevin @ready2spark Maybe we should have a "secretary" each week that saves/stores the chats #eventprofs -9:45 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @ready2spark how bout a page that is created for the benefit of this chat room but available to others #eventprofs -9:45 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin RT @debbiechong You can use Sideline by Yahoo to save searches, note faves pick them up on Sideline. #eventprofs -9:45 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark @debbiechong Debbie - I'm going to check this out right now. #eventprofs -9:45 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester @ImpressionEvnts User search.twitter.com for later, but it has the disadvantage of being page-based, so you do a lot of NEXTing #eventprofs -9:45 PM Apr 20th, 2009

debbiechong You can use Sideline by Yahoo to save searches, note faves pick them up on Sideline. #eventprofs -9:44 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark {moderator} OK - so I hear that archiving convos would be helpful. Where should they be stored? #eventprofs -9:44 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ImpressionEvnts @marksylvester that's a good idea for people that was at the chat but what about the people that couldn't make it. #eventprofs -9:44 PM Apr 20th, 2009

KLBeaune you can copy & paste but you get lots of extra stuff #eventprofs -9:44 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @jessrafferty I just copied it into Word. Will find a place to post. #eventprofs -9:43 PM Apr 20th, 2009

GregRuby @marksylvester AWESOME!!! #eventprofs -9:43 PM Apr 20th, 2009

maryboone @MikeMcCurry @ready2spark This issue of managing content is perennial online and off #eventprofs -9:43 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester If you look at the window you have open, and scroll down, you will see all of today's tweets. #eventprofs -9:43 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark @ImpressionEvnts That would be lovely :) So far @ShowTecAE has been nice enough to recap + I post on my blog - time consuming #eventprofs -9:43 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @JessicaLevin someone takes screen shots and then archives it somewhere? #eventprofs -9:43 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jessrafferty @JessicaLevin that's a good idea #eventprofs -9:43 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jessrafferty Can you copy and paste into word? #eventprofs -9:42 PM Apr 20th, 2009

GregRuby @MikeMcCurry There is the search.twitter.com feature for about a week that is available. #eventprofs -9:42 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester Here is how you can save the Chat for later - DONT OPEN a NEW WINDOW, select PRINT, and PRINT to PDF - then you have all tweets #eventprofs -9:42 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @MikeMcCurry Screenshots? #eventprofs -9:42 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ImpressionEvnts @ready2spark I wonder a programmer will hear our calling and create one for us LOL #eventprofs -9:42 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @MikeMcCurry Screenshots? #eventprofs -9:42 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ImpressionEvnts @ready2spark I wonder a programmer will hear our calling and create one for us LOL #eventprofs -9:42 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark @maryboone @MikeMcCurry it was Twitter search...unfortunately, it's dynamic #eventprofs -9:42 PM Apr 20th, 2009

maryboone @MikeMcCurry But it was for a chat that had taken place the same day #eventprofs -9:41 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @maryboone well if those could be circulated somehow to us that would be great! #eventprofs -9:41 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark @ImpressionEvnts It would be nice if there was an application that could do this, but instead it means someone has 2 recap convo #eventprofs -9:41 PM Apr 20th, 2009

maryboone @MikeMcCurry Lara gave me some instructions that worked. #eventprofs -9:40 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ImpressionEvnts Yes, I think there were talks of recaps. Whatever happened to that? #eventprofs -9:40 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jkhewett @KLBeaune Welcome! This is a great way to get introduced to Twitter #eventprofs -9:39 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @maryboone Really, how so? #eventprofs -9:39 PM Apr 20th, 2009

maryboone @GregRuby Thanks Greg, I'm looking forward to tomorrow too. #eventprofs -9:39 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark @MikeMcCurry Yes, I've been looking for some application that can do this... #eventprofs -9:39 PM Apr 20th, 2009

maryboone @MikeMcCurry I was able to review a stored one for a recent chat. #eventprofs -9:39 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester @eventprofs, I think the value for me is in the rapid interaction, and having to think really fast - emulates client interaction #eventprofs -9:38 PM Apr 20th, 2009

KLBeaune Hi all been just watching the tweets go by for a few. I'm a first timer! #eventprofs -9:38 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @ready2spark Taking our advice. LOL. I think this format is valuable. Would like more assn tweeps. #eventprofs -9:38 PM Apr 20th, 2009

GregRuby @maryboone Welcome Mary - am looking forward to your MPI webinar tomorrow. #eventprofs -9:38 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @ready2spark Have an archive of it available for ppl that miss a session #eventprofs -9:37 PM Apr 20th, 2009

maryboone Hello everyone. Sorry I'm coming in late. Long day! #eventprofs -9:37 PM Apr 20th, 2009

crlambert @marksylvester Oh, how did you ever guess? #eventprofs -9:37 PM Apr 20th, 2009

mmcallen I find most of my pharma clients want a management fee. #eventprofs -9:37 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark {moderator} I'd like to ask all how we can make this chat more valuable to you... #eventprofs -9:37 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @mmcallen Well happy to have you join us. Fun plans today> #eventprofs -9:37 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @ready2spark sure lets move on #eventprofs -9:37 PM Apr 20th, 2009

beckynowlin #eventprofs it seems as though the markup has gone by the wayside and that we are evolving into using more management fees -9:36 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester Curious how the firsttimers are hanging in there - kinda like drinking from a firehouse, huh. #eventprofs -9:36 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @ready2spark Yes, please. #eventprofs -9:36 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark {moderator} Seems like a pretty cut & dry topic. So, shall we move on to another? #eventprofs -9:36 PM Apr 20th, 2009

TRDonnelly @MikeMcCurry agree it's part of the buyer's preference #eventprofs -9:36 PM Apr 20th, 2009

crlambert Management fee is definitely cleaner and easier for client to wrap their head around. #eventprofs -9:36 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MinneapolisFeed [mplstweets] #eventprofs Good evening from a live corporate meeting and event producer in Minneapolis. http://tinyurl.com/c92fg7 -9:35 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @ready2spark it is about what the customer wants.. .we try to be flexible but there are no hidden fees #eventprofs -9:35 PM Apr 20th, 2009

mmcallen @JessicaLevin I am committed! Plus waiting for my wife. #eventprofs -9:35 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @ready2spark well in our business we do not get into the middle of the billing process but it is important for full disclosure #eventprofs -9:34 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ImpressionEvnts pass them on and charge a fee, the fee is for the time you spent finding the vendor and negotiating a good rate for your clients #eventprofs -9:34 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark {moderator} Interesting (and a bit of an eye opener). I'm hearing an overwhelming response for mgmt fees. No one marks up? #eventprofs -9:34 PM Apr 20th, 2009

crystalbruce Most of my clients prefer management fee ... fits nicely into their budgets. #eventprofs -9:33 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark @MikeMcCurry Not really. When you hire a caterer or a/v tech 4 ur client do you mark up the costs or pass them on & charge a fee #eventprofs -9:33 PM Apr 20th, 2009

TRDonnelly @MikeMcCurry you're opening a pandora's box! #eventprofs -9:33 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @ready2spark As a buyer, with DMCs for example, I ask what the mark-up is upfront and negotiate from there. #eventprofs -9:33 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @ready2spark so are we asking the "commission model" vs. fee based? #eventprofs -9:32 PM Apr 20th, 2009

beckynowlin Agreed RT @brianmcgovern: I won't let a very few greedy people stop me from giving, otherwise they end up taking even more #eventprofs -9:32 PM Apr 20th, 2009

debbiechong It's really up to the client what fee structure they want to pay. Bargained for exchange = contract. #eventprofs #eventprofs -9:32 PM Apr 20th, 2009

jkhewett I use management fee ... it is easier #eventprofs -9:32 PM Apr 20th, 2009

crystalbruce @ready2spark I, too, charge a management fee that's based on the number of hours I estimate putting into the project #eventprofs -9:31 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin RT @MikeMcCurry @mildavw These ppl can use my words but they cant steal who I am #eventprofs -9:31 PM Apr 20th, 2009

mildavw @marksylvester: Yes. Annoying that people'd have that intent. #eventprofs -9:31 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark @beckynowlin Welcome! #eventprofs -9:31 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ImpressionEvnts @ready2spark that's against my ethics, I never take kickbacks nor do I mark up. They're already paying me to plan their events. #eventprofs -9:31 PM Apr 20th, 2009

GregRuby @ready2spark I'm a believer in charging the management fee. It keeps everybody honest and is much cleaner. #eventprofs -9:31 PM Apr 20th, 2009

TRDonnelly @ready2spark as mentioned earlier....Transparency #eventprofs -9:31 PM Apr 20th, 2009

beckynowlin #eventprofs Good evening from a live corporate meeting and event producer in Minneapolis. -9:30 PM Apr 20th, 2009

MikeMcCurry @mildavw These ppl can use my words but they cant steal who I am #eventprofs -9:30 PM Apr 20th, 2009

mildavw @mikemccurry: Exactly. Also, if you value can be "stolen" in 5 minutes, you're in trouble! #eventprofs -9:30 PM Apr 20th, 2009

ready2spark {moderator} Topic 2: Let's start a good debate - do you believe in marking up vendor costs or charging a management fee? #eventprofs -9:30 PM Apr 20th, 2009

marksylvester @mildavw If it was only a few minutes, it wouldn't be that bad - it is more their ill intent that lingers. #eventprofs -9:29 PM Apr 20th, 2009

JessicaLevin @jkhewett I have donated my time on both sides. It's balance and working a little later to get real work done plus the extras. #eventprofs -9:29 PM Apr 20th, 2009

GregRuby @jkhewett It has always seemed to me that corp planners are more willing to pay for efforts,while non-profits expect free items #eventprofs -9:29 PM Apr 20th, 2009
