This "Special Edition" Eventprofs Followed the Guy Kawasaki Panel session from Buzz Marketing on Thursday afternoon, 9 July 2009.  The Panel session was electric and worth watching if possible. The group spent 90 minutes discussing some of their favorite ideas and learnings from the session.

 

 

12:31 pm samueljsmith: {moderator} I would like to welcome everyone that was just following the guykawasaki webinar to a special #eventprofs
12:31 pm KatrinaG: RT @ShowTecAE: RT @theexpogroup: Social media & face-to-face are not mutually exclusive.http://bit.ly/JxRPj via @defrag @genuine #eventprofs
12:32 pm ready2spark: @samueljsmith That was amazing! Very good information. #eventprofs
12:33 pm samueljsmith: {moderator} The panel shared a lot of great tips, tricks and ideas. What are your first thoughts and impressions? #eventprofs
12:34 pm samueljsmith: {moderator} By the way - who is here? Can you introduce yourself? #eventprofs
12:35 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith 1st thoughts: That's how to do a social media integrated webinar with content. We could learn just from UX alone #eventprofs
12:35 pm KenaSiu: @samueljsmith Hello Samuel... they gave great ideas about how to use SM to engage people. The secret password was my favorite! #eventprofs
12:36 pm KenaSiu: Hi everyone, Kena from Dracula land #eventprofs
12:37 pm ready2spark: @Jeffhurt Absolutely - just wish the feed would allow for twitter comments (the technology just has to catch up) #eventprofs
12:37 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt I was very impressed as well. I had tweet chat window open and the video at the same time. It was cool! #eventprofs
12:37 pm KatrinaG: Katrina Gredona- Student of Event Planning, New Grad, Looking to Learn! #eventprofs
12:37 pm samueljsmith: @KenaSiu The Secret Password was a great idea. Can you use that in your business? #eventprofs
12:38 pm spkrinteractive: @ready2spark I am working on that. Will be twebevent.com #eventprofs
12:38 pm KatrinaG: @samueljsmith 1st thoughts: marketing is genuinely about 1) helping 2)conversation, & reflecting ur brand in that convo #eventprofs
12:38 pm samueljsmith: @ready2spark @jeffhurt I thought it was cool to see tweetchat matching the video stream. It made the whole thing very real. #eventprofs
12:38 pm Jeffhurt: @ready2spark Technology there. Almost.at & stuff @spkrinteractive working on has that technology. #eventprofs
12:39 pm ready2spark: @spkrinteractive Fantastic! Please let me know when this launches. #eventprofs
12:39 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith I did same thing. Voice, video, tweetchat and monitored tweetdeck. Got DM's from organizers 2 run interference #eventprofs
12:39 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt Also, I think that a case study to compare the two webcast strategies should come out of these two events. #eventprofs
12:40 pm KatrinaG: I loved the secret password idea too! Also was great to see how different industries approach marketing #eventprofs
12:40 pm spkrinteractive: @ready2spark Certainly. Would love some volunteers to help review the specs. #eventprofs
12:40 pm ready2spark: @Jeffhurt Thanks for the info on almost.at. I'm looking 2 do something similar for my ISES Eventworld panel. #eventprofs
12:40 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith I am on their advisory board. I can make that happen. Organizers good collegue friends. #eventprofs
12:40 pm KatrinaG: @Jeffhurt how do you mean by "run interference" if I may ask? #eventprofs
12:41 pm KenaSiu: @samueljsmith It could be use to design business cards for clients so they can come back for other services #eventprofs
12:41 pm Jeffhurt: @ready2spark If you use Ustream.tv it has twitter chat built into it. ustream.tv is free. #eventprofs
12:41 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt It would be a powerful tool for all associations and event planners #eventprofs
12:41 pm iandavmcg: #eventprofs Who's going to TS2?
12:42 pm ShowTecAE: Good morning everyone, that was a great webinar! #eventprofs
12:42 pm ready2spark: @iandavmcg What is TS2? #eventprofs
12:42 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt @ready2spark UStream.TV will not be as fancy as those various camera angles - but it does a darn good job for free. #eventprofs
12:43 pm KatrinaG: @samueljsmith in events, maybe "codes" to win free workshops? or to get people to participate in roundrobin meetings #eventprofs
12:43 pm KatrinaG: @samueljsmith it was excellently done, the webinar! #eventprofs
12:43 pm KatrinaG: @ShowTecAE and good morning!:D #eventprofs
12:44 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith I beg to disagree. It depends on the quality of the camera. I've seen fantastic video from it at Unconferences. #eventprofs
12:44 pm samueljsmith: {moderator} So, applying some of the content to events. How do you generate love with your members, clients, etc.? #eventprofs
12:44 pm KatrinaG: Apologies to my followers- I will be in #eventprofs chat for an hour. Pls feel free to snooze me! www.twittersnooze.com
12:44 pm Jeffhurt: @guykawasaki says if U aren't pissing people off, you aren't pushing hard enough. Member Assns know you can't make every1 happy #eventprofs
12:45 pm KatrinaG: @samueljsmith Generating love-> executing great events, being helpful, overaccomplishing #eventprofs
12:45 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt Point taken. The quality of the camera and the position will determine quality. #eventprofs
12:45 pm ready2spark: @samueljsmith Involvement :) #eventprofs
12:46 pm samueljsmith: @ready2spark Can you expand on that? #eventprofs
12:46 pm KenaSiu: @samueljsmith asking 'how can I help you' as was mentioned, it's important to know what people need #eventprofs
12:46 pm Jeffhurt: Just had to throw in that last comment from @guykawasaki as he's still talking with folks at Buzz2009 #eventprofs
12:47 pm Jeffhurt: A @samueljsmith Facilitate discussions at your event, Let them talk with you, Take flip camera and tape videos of stories of att #eventprofs
12:47 pm KatrinaG: RT @KenaSiu: @samueljsmith asking 'how can I help you' as was mentioned, it's important to know what people need #eventprofs
12:48 pm ShowTecAE: @samueljsmith Show that you truly value their success. Eventprofs is still a service industry #eventprofs
12:48 pm KatrinaG: RT @ShowTecAE: @samueljsmith Show that you truly value their success. Eventprofs is still a service industry #eventprofs
12:48 pm spkrinteractive: @Jeffhurt As a virtual attendee, those Flip hallway interviews are gold! Almost feels like you are there #eventprofs
12:49 pm samueljsmith: @ShowTecAE Excellent point! #eventprofs
12:49 pm samueljsmith: RT @spkrinteractive: @Jeffhurt As a virtual attendee, those Flip hallway interviews are gold! Almost feels like you are there #eventprofs
12:50 pm Jeffhurt: @ShowTecAE That's so true yet so many ppl in hospitality & assoc world forget its about their customers! Basic customer service #eventprofs
12:50 pm samueljsmith: If you had to compare your SM strategy to one of the panelists. Which panelist would you be? #eventprofs
12:50 pm KatrinaG: I loved seeing marketing as a "Romance". Tells you that careful planning of pre-buzz of events = imp! #eventprofs
12:51 pm samueljsmith: ...Taco Lady, National Geographic, SM Expert or Guy? #eventprofs
12:51 pm ShowTecAE: I had a client used to call it "the warm and fuzzy feeling". Do your clients have the warm and fuzzy? #eventprofs
12:51 pm ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt Agreed! #eventprofs
12:52 pm KatrinaG: @samueljsmith I think I'm more of a "Guy" person, but I think I'd like to replicate what Taco Lady has done #eventprofs
12:52 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith In all those cases there was a corporate culture that embraced social. How many of us have that type culture? #eventprofs
12:52 pm ShowTecAE: @samueljsmith A mix of Taco Lady and SM Expert. #eventprofs
12:53 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt Dude. You are an expert -- the black jacket dude. Hands down. #eventprofs
12:54 pm ShowTecAE: I am curious to see what the thoughts on TweetHawk are? #eventprofs
12:54 pm samueljsmith: @ShowTecAE I can see that! #eventprofs
12:55 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith Too kind. I have a long way to go. I & 2 staff are stealth at work. Boss doesn't get it but loves results. #eventprofs
12:55 pm samueljsmith: @KatrinaG The Taco lady was cool because she was personable and authentic. #eventprofs
12:55 pm ShowTecAE: @samueljsmith Yeah, I provide value and resources, but still have a product to sell. (And a great product at that!) #eventprofs
12:56 pm samueljsmith: @ShowTecAE Good question. What did you all think about Twitter Hawk, Objective Marketer and Twitter feed? #eventprofs
12:56 pm KenaSiu: @samueljsmith And besides that, seems she was the only one using SM for the company #eventprofs
12:56 pm KatrinaG: @ShowTecAE From a consumer perspective dont know if I like it 100%, however I love how Guy used it #eventprofs
12:56 pm WY20: @Partyaficionado i only caught the tail end - but these chats generally are awesome #caterchat#eventprofs
12:57 pm KatrinaG: @samueljsmith yeah *nods* Taco Lady was authentic!! I want to follow her footsteps:D #eventprofs
12:58 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith Objective Marketer & Twitter feed was new to me. I appreciate that Guy was so transparent about his uses. #eventprofs
12:58 pm KenaSiu: @KatrinaG I'm with you on that one, being authentic! #eventprofs
12:58 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt Me too. There are so many new "listening" tools that are hitting the market right now. #eventprofs
12:59 pm KatrinaG: @WY20 *waves*=)..and ooh #caterchat- oh no another chat I want to b part of! My poor followers, will thou stand me for another? #eventprofs
12:59 pm ShowTecAE: Agreed, Guy's transparency was refreshing. IT's a fine balance with Direct Marketing using Social Media. #eventprofs
12:59 pm jaysmet: hi #eventprofs. Jay from Orlando. Meeting designer and visualizer. missed the webinar so I'm just observing. Sounds like I missed a ton!
12:59 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith Another take away. Views & RTs important ROI tools, not just # of comments. #eventprofs
12:59 pm samueljsmith: What did you think about the National Geographic Approach? Sounds like an interesting way to extend events to me. #eventprofs
1:00 pm ShowTecAE: @jaysmet I'm pretty sure it was archived, so you can go back and view it. #eventprofs
1:00 pm KatrinaG: @KenaSiu Yes- showing how you awesome you are as a conversationist in SM is hard though! Being a bubbly person I dont want 2 #eventprofs
1:00 pm Jeffhurt: @ShowTecAE and he was very upfront about it. Amazing how authentic & transparent he was. Event planners could learn from him #eventprofs
1:00 pm KatrinaG: @KenaSiu risk sounding ditzy ....heh. #eventprofs
1:02 pm ready2spark: @Jeffhurt Absolutely. I'm often flabbergasted by the # of viewers, page views, time on site vs # of comments on my blog. #eventprofs
1:02 pm pfont: Hi all, for those of us who missed the webinar, can you post links for Objective Marketer and Twitter Hawk? Thx. #eventprofs
1:02 pm Jeffhurt: @jaysmet here's link to recording. not up yet. http://www.krm.com/buzz2009 #eventprofs
1:02 pm KatrinaG: @pfont TwitterHawk: www.twitterhawk.com #eventprofs
1:03 pm KenaSiu: @KatrinaG Yeah, but has advantages too...with risk also they come #eventprofs
1:03 pm KatrinaG: @pfont and Objective Markter I *believe*= http://www.objectivemarketer.com/ - could b wrong, any1 concur? #eventprofs
1:03 pm Jeffhurt: @ready2spark With my recent provocative posts, I've had more than 800 unique global visitors on one post. Shocked! #eventprofs
1:04 pm MeetCollab: @Jeffhurt Dude you've been followed but it's not my product. only in beta and looks like it needs a light touch #eventprofs
1:04 pm Jeffhurt: @pfont www.twitterhawk.com/ #eventprofs
1:04 pm samueljsmith: @ShowTecAE Good Point - but events and associations work with fan bases too. #eventprofs
1:04 pm KenaSiu: Gotta go for now, tweet you later guys! Thanks @samueljsmith for moderating ;) #eventprofs
1:04 pm KatrinaG: @KenaSiu have to be careful, I sound fine in person but on paper sounding cheery all the time is annoying I know LOL #eventprofs
1:04 pm KatrinaG: @KenaSiu nice to meet you! #eventprofs
1:05 pm ShowTecAE: @samueljsmith True, as recently evidenced by @JeffHurt on his blog. #eventprofs
1:05 pm samueljsmith: @KenaSiu Have a good evening! #eventprofs
1:05 pm pfont: @KatrinaG looks right. Wonder why THAT didn't come up on a Google search...thank you. #eventprofs
1:05 pm Jeffhurt: @KenaSiu Thanks Kena. BTW, I had sushi in your honor last week. Took pics for you. #eventprofs
1:05 pm jaysmet: @ready2spark Our new webhost has a new stat -- %visitors who bookmark page. Do you find that useful? #eventprofs
1:05 pm samueljsmith: @ShowTecAE And the webcast thing was blasted on tons of blogs, google groups, etc. Everyone is talking about it. #eventprofs
1:06 pm KatrinaG: @pfont Yeah, its wierd Google doesnt index it right? ...and NP! #eventprofs
1:06 pm Jeffhurt: @MeetCollab So what did you think about objective marketer? #eventprofs
1:06 pm KatrinaG: @Jeffhurt your comment to @KenaSiu ....wow, if you did that for someone you didnt know, as part of marketing strategy = golden! #eventprofs
1:07 pm ShowTecAE: @samueljsmith They said 5,000 people attending webcast, that's a powerful fact. #eventprofs
1:08 pm Jeffhurt: @ShowTecAE @samueljsmith They'e now had more than 300 unique individuals tweeting about it and Twitter is stil slow. Bet higher #eventprofs
1:08 pm samueljsmith: @ShowTecAE @jeffhurt That is amazing. #eventprofs
1:08 pm Jeffhurt: @KatrinaG Good observation. I only know her through social media. She can't get sushi where she is now. #eventprofs
1:09 pm samueljsmith: hey I just screwed up tweetchat. Does anyone have the full log of this convo? #eventprofs
1:09 pm ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt We should send this to the Twitter naysayers! LOL #eventprofs
1:09 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith Yes, think about how viral that webcast is going to go for a while. What kudos to KRM, Buzz2009 organizers. #eventprofs
1:09 pm MeetCollab: @Jeffhurt Looks like a comm dept's salvation but could result in a lot of impersonal irrelevant traffic. #eventprofs
1:09 pm KatrinaG: Seminar got me thinking about personal branding 4 event planners. We plan events & ever1 in industry does it. How to b unique=Q #eventprofs
1:10 pm ShowTecAE: @samueljsmith Yeah, i can send it to you when done. DM your e-mail. #eventprofs
1:10 pm KatrinaG: How to even brand myself as a top events assistant is even difficult (in the thro's of that atm) #eventprofs
1:10 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith wthashtag.com & put in hashtag. You can print the transcript there. So much easier than copy & paste of Tweetchat #eventprofs
1:10 pm samueljsmith: IMO the webcast is used to build a strong base of raving fans. You make it simple and easy for the to connect, talk and share. #eventprofs
1:10 pm KatrinaG: @Jeffhurt Really? And aw she cant get sushi- well that is great that you did that! #eventprofs
1:11 pm KenaSiu: @JeffHurt Sweet! I'll wait for the pic then. And BTW I'm one of your reader's blog ;) You have great content! #eventprofs

1:12 pm KatrinaG: @ShowTecAE *nods* yeah it is tough! #eventprofs
1:12 pm samueljsmith: You want your fans to be 1-click away from being about to tell other "like-minded" individuals about your event, content, etc. #eventprofs
1:12 pm pfont: @KatrinaG get out in front of ppl, have a voice: blog, participate in chats like these, speak at events, answer Q&As, etc. #eventprofs
1:12 pm Jeffhurt: @KatrinaG Start branding yourself with SEO & keywords of mtg industry so that when ppl search they find you at top. #eventprofs
1:13 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith Wasn't that a great quote! 1-click away from telling others about your event, content, etc. #eventprofs
1:13 pm KatrinaG: @pfont Definitely- all part, sooner or later, of my personal SM marketing strategy! #eventprofs

1:22 pm Jeffhurt: Add TweetMeme re-tweet button to blog - http://tweetmeme.com/ - answers paradox of choice from AddThis #eventprofs

1:23 pm ShowTecAE: @samueljsmith Well, even though @JeffHurt may not agree with me, SM is NOT free. It's takes time, real dollars, investment. #eventprofs
1:23 pm KatrinaG: @samueljsmith using tools to push the event is always smart- but be careful in how you use 'em! #eventprofs
1:24 pm Jeffhurt: Take away: Twitter et. al: How do we deliver content? Answer: However the reader wants it #eventprofs
1:24 pm ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt But that's why were friends, lively discussions! #eventprofs

1:24 pm KatrinaG: @ShowTecAE especially the investment part! #eventprofs
1:24 pm Jeffhurt: @ShowTecAe @Samueljsmith I totally agree that investment is time which equates to dollars. Most tools are free. #eventprofs

1:25 pm ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt @Samueljsmith Tools, yes. No argument there. #eventprofs

1:26 pm Jeffhurt: Anthr takeaway from NGO: Biggest pain point = predictability Which Content will bcom conversational, varial #eventprofs
1:27 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith @ShowTecAe Agreed. Have to decide goals first, then decide which tools work for you. #eventprofs
1:27 pm jaysmet: @samueljsmith The key here is "design". Design a solution for each event based on unique needs & constraints #eventprofs oops Show said it
1:28 pm ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt Also, you can't force Viral #eventprofs
1:28 pm Jeffhurt: @KatrinaG My experience that when U do what U love, jobs follow. Passion often equates to your best & highest use. #eventprofs

1:29 pm samueljsmith: @ShowTecAE Which topic tools? #eventprofs
1:30 pm Jeffhurt: @ShowTecAE Absolutely, I'm all for divergent thought. Not about right or wrong. It's about embracing every1's POV & experience. #eventprofs

1:32 pm Jeffhurt: @ShowTecAE I got the joke too! Just wanted to agree without being disagreeable! #eventprofs
1:32 pm ready2spark: @jaysmet Don't have that stat available to me. Have to view individual bookmarking sites to see who's shared. #eventprofs
1:32 pm ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt We are too agreeable at times Jeff. #eventprofs
1:33 pm Jeffhurt: @jaysmet We use our best judgement for trying to preduct viral, just like we do with print marketing. No guidelines yet #eventprofs
1:33 pm ready2spark: @Jeffhurt Totally agree. #eventprofs
1:33 pm KatrinaG: @ShowTecAE oh YAY!...I have to check my sched, but totally hope it doesnt clash with my family's vacation! (being dragged on it) #eventprofs
1:33 pm samueljsmith: @ready2spark Ok. Can anyone help Spark with Tweetme? #eventprofs
1:33 pm KatrinaG: @Jeffhurt yeah- or stays even! Somehow people dont mind twitchats? I guess? #eventprofs
1:33 pm Jeffhurt: @ShowTecAE And if you can intergrate the b4, during & after event into overall community experience, even bigger payback #eventprofs
1:34 pm samueljsmith: @ShowTecAE I am doing something similar in London on Tuesday. #eventprofs
1:34 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith We so need @tojulius. He's more geek than I am. I have to ask for help too, often. #eventprofs
1:34 pm ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt Exactly! I'll post the link and details to the Webinar when it's posted. #eventprofs
1:35 pm KatrinaG: brb friends #eventprofs
1:35 pm ShowTecAE: @samueljsmith Really? Care to share notes? #eventprofs
1:35 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt He's probably eating dinner. Its 7:30 for him #eventprofs
1:35 pm Jeffhurt: Q B4 we leave. How do we as event planners make our events part of larger community experience so every1 benefits. #eventprofs
1:35 pm ready2spark: @samueljsmith I'm sure it's an HTML code thing. But haven't figured it out yet. #eventprofs
1:36 pm samueljsmith: @ShowTecAE Sure, we can organize a skype call. #eventprofs
1:36 pm ShowTecAE: @samueljsmith Sounds good. Let's set details after chat. #eventprofs
1:37 pm ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt IF the event is a public one, twitter, facebook and blogs to start. Repost content and shared exp when available #eventprofs
1:38 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt IMO you need to engage the larger audience in dialogue. #eventprofs
1:38 pm ShowTecAE: @ready2spark Sorry lady, I haven't worked with that program yet. #eventprofs
1:38 pm KatrinaG: @Jeffhurt maybe prior to event, let people participate in the planning- ie let them vote on the font of banners, placards..? #eventprofs
1:39 pm ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt Also, OWN YOUR HASHTAG! Keep involved with the SM community. #eventprofs
1:39 pm jaysmet: Also, I'll be at WEC taking visual notes. Any Tues am sessions you'd like to have me attend & share? #eventprofs http://bit.ly/eMdZV
1:39 pm Jeffhurt: @ShowTecAE Grt point. And if done properly, attendees can bcom evangelist of experience & share w/ othrs repurpose content. #eventprofs
1:39 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt IF PPL can't come f2f, you need to open a pathway for them to engage, listen and discuss the content. #eventprofs
1:39 pm spkrinteractive: @cindymichelle gr8 point. Tone is everything. Bureaus & speakers need to work together to prep for what #eventprofs r starting to request
1:39 pm KatrinaG: RT @ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt Also, OWN YOUR HASHTAG! Keep involved with the SM community. #eventprofs-> love it!
1:40 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith That's what I think too. To help association members or in our case all meeting planners lrn, converese & engage. #eventprofs
1:40 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt ...Participants(f2f & online) need to be able to chat peer-to-peer as well as to spkrs and organizers #eventprofs
1:40 pm ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt BINGO! BRand evangelists can be created for conferences and Associations. #eventprofs
1:40 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith Boy my typing so bad today! #eventprofs
1:40 pm KatrinaG: @jaysmet so jealous of attendees of #wec09- being "poor" (unemployed) has got no benefits LOL #eventprofs
1:41 pm jaysmet: @Jeffhurt What is the larger timeline/framework of the event? What inputs can help B4? How will outputs be used after & by whom? #eventprofs
1:41 pm samueljsmith: @ShowTecAE @jeffhurt Brand Evangelists exist for every association & most events already. #eventprofs
1:41 pm Jeffhurt: @ShowTecAE And it's so much more than brand evangelist, it's actually making it viral through social sharing., #eventprofs
1:41 pm Jeffhurt: @jaysmet I intentionall ask spkrs for blog posts, webianrs radio interviews b4 & after event to engage larger aud. #eventprofs
1:42 pm KatrinaG: speaking of SM, what's the biggest and best social network FOR event planners only? besides LinkedIn? #eventprofs
1:43 pm samueljsmith: @KatrinaG that is a good point. #eventprofs
1:43 pm ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt @samueljsmith Agreed, but the more the merrier. Look at MPI with VAP, most BE's are either quiet or turning. #eventprofs
1:43 pm Jeffhurt: @jaysmet I'm starting 2 embrare *networked learning*, social, informal peer2peer learning like this. Facilitate this exp 4 event #eventprofs
1:44 pm ShowTecAE: @KatrinaG eventpeeps.com i-meet.com meetingscommunity.com #eventprofs
1:44 pm Jeffhurt: ShowTecAE @samueljsmith I was trying hard not 2 refer to them & I was really thinking on larger scale, bigger issue than 1 assoc #eventprofs
1:44 pm samueljsmith: @ShowTecAE @Jeffhurt And it is too bad. There are millions of potential members out there that could join the org. #eventprofs
1:44 pm jaysmet: @KatrinaG I'm sharing all my notes from session on blog/twitter, etc. Not the same, but at least you get to skip security lines! #eventprofs
1:44 pm Jeffhurt: @KatrinaG That's a loaded question. Industry very fragmented. Find what tool you like best and find the community there. #eventprofs
1:45 pm ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt @samueljsmith Agreed, but they are a good example to use. How about the Skittles Facebook fiasco? Again, bad Viral. #eventprofs
1:45 pm spkrinteractive: Challenge is that bureaus r relationship businesses. Similar role for decades. Speakers & #eventprofsr driving change #spkrchat
1:46 pm Jeffhurt: @jaysmet Thx for doing that. Now we should schedule an eventprofs around your notes to discuss! #eventprofs
1:46 pm KatrinaG: RT @ShowTecAE: @KatrinaG eventpeeps.com i-meet.com meetingscommunity.com #eventprofs-> thank you!!
1:46 pm Partyaficionado: @WY20 I've joined many that either t-chat wasn't wrkng or there were more #eventprofs than #caterchats :) the 1 x I don't chk in.. UGH :)
1:46 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt @ShowTecAE If you want to build raving fans you have to give each of them a way to express themselves. #eventprofs
1:46 pm KatrinaG: @Jeffhurt OK- that comes with finding out what my fave niche is atm, I suppose. Will seriously think! #eventprofs
1:46 pm jaysmet: @Jeffhurt love "networked learning" idea! I think SM can help us break the mold of F2F events -- more P2P, less talking heads #eventprofs
1:46 pm Jeffhurt: @ShowTecAE @samueljsmith Skittles FB fiasco seen a lot of different ways though. PPl could engage, not exclusive. #eventprofs
1:47 pm KatrinaG: @jaysmet I cant wait to see them!! I'll be sure to keep a sharp eye for you rnotes! #eventprofs
1:47 pm pfont: @KatrinaG Twitter ain't so bad. ;) Actually, I only belong to LinkedIn and FB groups. Don't have much time for others. #eventprofs
1:47 pm samueljsmith: @jaysmet That is awesome. You should Flip video yourself and others too. #eventprofs
1:47 pm ShowTecAE: @samueljsmith @jeffhurt Yes, like earlier post Viral is not controlled, not forced. Have to give BE's tools to grow it organic #eventprofs
1:48 pm KatrinaG: @pfont Loove Twitter! *beams* and trying to step up on LinkedIn use! #eventprofs
1:48 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt Is Networked Learning another phrase for Social Learning? #eventprofs
1:49 pm samueljsmith: @KatrinaG Linkedin could be really useful for you. #eventprofs
1:49 pm pfont: @KatrinaG you gotta translate it into f2f stuff too, tho. Get involved locally with whatever meetup or MPI groups available. #eventprofs
1:49 pm ShowTecAE: @Jeffhurt @samueljsmith YOu should both subscribe to adage.com free newsletter. Great case studies on success and failure #eventprofs
1:50 pm ShowTecAE: RT @pfont: you gotta translate it into f2f stuff too, tho. Get involved locally with whatever meetup or MPI groups available. #eventprofs
1:50 pm KatrinaG: @ShowTecAE I've also found planyourmeetings.com and meetingscollaborative.com #eventprofs
1:50 pm samueljsmith: @ShowTecAE @jeffhurt And I was not only thinking of online - but physical stuff - shirts, etc. too. #eventprofs
1:50 pm KatrinaG: @pfont *nods* i think that'll be most imp. for me!! Making phone calls for that! #eventprofs
1:50 pm KatrinaG: @samueljsmith I'm excited about LinkedIn- lots of active eventprofs there to learn from! #eventprofs
1:51 pm ShowTecAE: @samueljsmith @jeffhurt The next step in SM marketing, taking it f2f #eventprofs
1:51 pm samueljsmith: {moderator} Ok. As moderator, I am sorry that we need to officially bring this chat to a close. #eventprofs
1:51 pm Jeffhurt: @samueljsmith I think its part of that. I've been pondering & drafting text about Network learning & Social Informal Learning? #eventprofs
1:52 pm jaysmet: @JeffHurt re:buzz2009 - drat, that sounds great! Have you seen this done effectively with BOTH F2F and SM in tandem? #eventprofs
1:52 pm samueljsmith: {moderator} I would like to thank all of you for attending this special eventprofs. It was a great jam session! #eventprofs
1:52 pm ShowTecAE: Oh my, it's 12pm PDT. Need to get back to work folks, thanks for the stimulating convo! #eventprofs
1:52 pm Jeffhurt: Thanks @samueljsmith for moderating. Thanks all. have great start to w/e. See you on the Twitter channel. #eventprofs
1:53 pm WY20: @Partyaficionado ha! there are for sure more #eventprofs than #caterchats - i'm finding both extremely helpful!
1:53 pm samueljsmith: @ShowTecAE Nice talking to you today. Will followup via DM. Have a good day. #eventprofs
1:53 pm Jeffhurt: @jaysmet can be done if you have SM moderator(s) facilitating and guiding online experience #eventprofs
1:53 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt My pleasure. Stay cool and have a good day. #eventprofs
1:54 pm KatrinaG: @ShowTecAE bye nice to meet you! i myself will need2go soon- i skipped lunch for the webinar, ha! #eventprofs
1:54 pm ShowTecAE: Please be sure to check out my recent article on http://blog.showtec.com about Twitter! Thanks everyone! #eventprofs
1:54 pm KatrinaG: RT @Jeffhurt: @jaysmet can be done if you have SM moderator(s) facilitating and guiding online experience #eventprofs
1:54 pm samueljsmith: @Jeffhurt The Social Learning thing is really amazing. I see lots of apps for associations and Cos. #eventprofs
1:54 pm jaysmet: @JeffHurt How well is the SM experience brought back into the F2F experience? Huge value there, but haven't seen it done well #eventprofs
1:56 pm KatrinaG: @ShowTecAE have a good day! #eventprofs
1:56 pm jaysmet: @samueljsmith PS my mother told me NEVER to Flip video myself and put it on the web.... ;-) But I'll have my Flip with me! #eventprofs
1:56 pm samueljsmith: @jaysmet Many people are still learning how to do it. Too many ppl just "plug in" the technology. #eventprofs
1:58 pm samueljsmith: @jaysmet Or if you have a new iphone - there is an auto-upload-to-Youtube-and-Tweet application for videos. #eventprofs
