During 2010 I hosted and produced a total of ten #140conf conferences across the around the world. I enjoyed having the opportunity to share our stage with several hundred pretty amazing people. People who shared their stories about the real-time web and how it is changing their lives and their businesses.
I am currently working on the plans for #140conf in 2011. What I can confirm so far is that #140conf will be returning to SXSW in March, NYC in June and SmallTown will return next September. If you or someone you know would be interested in sponsoring one or more of our future events, please let me know. I would appreciate having the conversation before the end of this month. In December a new business to business conference is being introduced to the #140conf community, @BrandsConf.
@BrandsConf – Exploring the Humanization of Brands will be taking place on December 2nd in New York City at the 92nd Street Y. website: http://BrandsConf.com. You can register for this event over at: http://BrandsConf.com/register.
I have received several requests from Agencies and Brands for special pricing for multiple ticket purchases. It seems we are striking a chord on both sides of the table. Agencies and their Clients as well as the Brands themselves are aware of a period of transformation where humanity and being human is playing an increasing role in the branding process.
Be it for business development, R&D, or consensus building on building humanizing strategies for 2011, based on this feedback, I am offering special pricing to Agencies and Brands who purchase a minimum of 4 tickets. If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to Alan Weinkrantz – alan@weinkrantz.com and he’ll respond to you with your specific request.

Catching up with #140conf: SmallTown and Detroit
During 2010 I had a unique opportunity to drive around the Midwest and discover America along the way. The #140conf Roadtrip I took back in August had an impact which I am still feeling today. In 2011 I plan to make more visits to the Midwest and to host another road trip during the summer of 2011. I thank everyone who came out for the tweetups and those who made it the events we had in Detroit and in Hutchinson.
