Throughout 2009 and 2010, #140conf events were produced by 140 Conference Events and were curated by Jeff Pulver. In an attempt to help expand the #140conf experience beyond Jeff’s ability to travel and produce events, for 2011 we are introducing #140conf LOCAL. Going forward events will continue to be created / produced / hosted / curated by #140conf events, as well by groups of people who qualify to create a #140conf LOCAL event of their own.

Friends who have previously attended at least one #140conf conference can apply at http://140conf.com/my-own-140conf to produce their own #140conf event. If you are interested in exploring this option, you can apply to run #140conf as a “free / not-really-for-profit” event or as a “Commercial / intended for profit” event. The event organizer / team would be responsible for covering all of the production costs of the event. Each application will be reviewed on it’s own merit.

Assuming the person / team is prepared to cover all of the out-of-pocket costs related to the event and as long as the person applying to create their own local event has previously attended at least one #140conf event produced by myself, community members are encouraged to to apply. Exceptions are possible in the cases where the applicant has not attended any #140conf event but can certify they have reviewed at least 16 hours of #140conf event archives on-line.

Since the first #140conf event in June, 2009, #140conf has become a platform to explore the effects of the emerging real-time Internet on both business and life. We have been fortunate to be able to share the stories of hundreds of people while looking at how about businesses have changed around the world.

I am looking forward to hearing from YOU and working together to help grow the global #140conf community.

Please feel free to reach out to Jeff Pulver if you have any questions.
