I just wrapped up an action filled week at the Forrester Forum, where I got to meet some great folks for the first time like Bryan Person, who interviewed myself and Deb Schultz (above). Here's a few other places I'll be along with people I've met and stuff we've done together. If you are going to be at any of the events, let me know.
Measuring "Social"
Mark Rogers, CEO of Marketing Sentinel interviewed me for a short podcast where we discussed the idea of measuring things like engagement in the social space. I'm not a measurement guy, so I did the best I could. Listen to it here (mp3).
Amsterdam Bound
I'm off to Amsterdam again for business the week of November 3rd. If you're in town, let me know—maybe we'll get some folks together and drink Heineken.
WOMMA 2008
I'll be participating on a panel at this years Word Of Mouth Marketing Association. It's a town hall format, so it'll be interesting to say the least I'm sure.
Phizzpop
On November 20th I'll be participating in the Microsoft Phizzpop design challenge in Chicago (register here). This time as a judge. Phizzpop is a Microsoft sanctioned event where design teams get a limited amount of time to solve a design problem using Microsoft tools to execute. This year's problem is Olympics related.
P&G / "Boston Tweetup"
I'll be speaking at another P&G employee event on December 11th in Boston. There is a "tweet-up" happening on December 10th. Details are here.
Marketing 2.0: Paris
I'll be joining a small army of speakers at the Marketing 2.0 conference in Paris in March. Marketing 2.0 is billed as follows.
"The Marketing 2.0 Conference brings the intelligence, innovation, and leadership of the Marketing, Media and Internet industry together in one place at one time to learn from best practices and the successful use of the new marketing tools like Social Networks, Mobile Marketing, Internet TV and Video as well as Word-of-Mouth Marketing. The Summit is known for its interactive format, stressing interaction and participation on both sides: the speakers and the audience. Through insightful plenary sessions, cut-through-the-hype onstage conversations, and "show me" presentations as well as in-depth workshops, visionaries and executives, experts and researchers from the Marketing and Internet businesses will come together to explore and present their unique insights in how to use the whole new collection of marketing tools and how brand marketers could benefit from it."
Really excited about this one.
