    Call for Speakers: #140conf – June 17th in DC

    Monday, March 22nd, 2010

    The 140 Characters Conference: Exploring the State of NOW (#140conf) will be taking place in Washington, D.C. on June 17th as part of Digital Capital Week. (@DCWeek)

    This #140conf event will be taking a look at the effects of the emerging real-time internet on business and “we” the people. The core focus will be on the systemic changes the advent of the real-time internet is having on a number of areas including: The Media, Politics, Public Diplomacy, Public Safety, Advertising, Celebrity, Education, Communications, Fashion and more.

    The deadline for speaking proposals is: Friday, April 16th. Please send speaking proposals to: jeff@pulver.com.

    My hope is to once again attract a diverse gathering of people who will come to Washington DC to connect with others and to share their perspective, their experiences and their stories about how the emerging real-time Internet is effecting their industry sectors and the people inside them.

    - – -

    With today’s “Call for Speakers” I am looking for creative, out-of-the-box thinkers to come forward and pitch me something relevant they would like to present that has been effected by the emerging real-time, NOW Internet.

    I’m looking for first-hand accounts of how the real-time web is being used and the impact it is happening in the industry sectors this event is focusing on. My goal is to bring together a curated group of characters to both lead and contribute to the discussions. And this event isn’t just about twitter. Open for discussion are all platforms and applications which are effecting and contributing to the real-time internet experience.

    So please, think about what YOU could contribute to the dialog, and who you may know who would be interested in being part of this event.

    Announcing: The 140 Characters Conference Scholarship Program

    Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

    Of all the events I have been involved with since 1996, I am especially looking forward to being in New York City on June 16-17 for the 140 Characters Conference. (#140conf) I feel very fortunate to have been able to bring together a world-class “cast of characters.” from around the globe representing multiple industries and disciplines. At #140conf, the one thing everyone speaking will have in common is their passion for twitter.

    Given the current state of the economy, I have decided to extend an offer for up to 30 people who would have liked to attended #140conf but due to circumstances beyond their control, could not justify the costs to join us.

    If you would like to apply for a “#140conf Scholarship”, please send Jeff Pulver (jeffp at pulver.com) a message in 140 words or less on “Why YOU would like to attend #140conf.” Extra consideration will be given to those people who also post their entry in their blogs and share a pointer to their blog post on twitter and include the #140conf hash tag.

    This offer starts today and will continue until each scholarship is awarded. The winners be awarded on an individual basis and access to the event is not transferable. It will be up to each respective winner to get to New York City to attend #140conf as travel costs are not included. I hope this scholarship program will provide access for a group of people who will benefit from the experience and who will contribute to the event. — Jeff Pulver
