Good intentions : Conferences to attend in 2008

janvier 1, 2008 4:07

I have high hopes for 2008. Social media is starting to pick up steam in Quebec PR circles, and we should start to see some interesting campaigns gear up over the next few months. I’m contributing in my own small way : a group of us are bringing Third Tuesdays to Montreal as of February. The official promotion should begin mid-January.

There are already some not-to-miss conferences/PR & social media activities on my calendar for 2008. I’m organising or participating in some of them and hoping to be able to make all of them :

Jan 15 : SQPRP panel disussion on social media (with yours truly)
Feb 19 : Third Tuesday Montreal kickoff
Feb 23-24 : PodCamp Toronto
March : SQPRP youth-wing conference on media relations
March 18 (to be confirmed) : Third Tuesday Montreal #2
May? : Mesh
June 22-24 : Podcasters Across Borders
October? : Podcamp Boston

And, of course, I’ll try to catch as many monthly YULBiz, YULBlog and PodMTL meetups as possible. Now that I’ve launched my podcast, the PodMTL people can count on seeing me around quite often. The first of these monthly events is YULBlog on January 9th. So popular, the members didn’t want to skip a month.

Hat tip to Joe Thornley, who has drawn up a list of not-to-miss conferences of his own. Check them out.

All the best to you and yours for 2008.

How the Romans invented the Internet: Tom Standage and I

2014.09.20

I may have surprised students in my first Current Trends in Digital Communications class at McGill on Thursday night by talking about the ancient Romans, but I wouldn’t have surprised anyone who knows me. My tribe gets me. And, apparently, Tom Standage is a member of that tribe. Did you know… Romans may have been […]
Twitter for the small business owner: the why

2014.09.01

When it comes to social media, small business owners tend to start with what they know. With half the Canadian population and 169 million Americans using the platform, it’s not surprising that North American small business owners tend to turn to Facebook when they decide it’s time for their brand to make its first foray into […]
