Yes, the Doubletree downtown Cleveland / Lakeside Rocks. Â It’s a great hotel, they get business travelers, and it’s just down the street from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Even if you bring a car, leave it the garage if you have any errands or places you want to go to in the downtown area. Â They have a great (and free) shuttle bus that will take you anywhere you want to go.
Doubltree is a sponsor of the #140conf Road Trip and we thank you for your tender loving care when Jeff Pulver, Mo Krochmal, and I are traveling.
Be sure to follow Doubletree Hotels on Twitter.
It’s summertime. Â It’s hot. Â And you’re thirsty.

No problem here.
When Jeff Pulver and I are on the road, during the #140Conf Road Trip, we’re gonna be cruising with Glaceau SmartWater and handing out product samples for your drinking pleasure!
Next week I will be going on the road to reach out and meet community members across the Midwest in advance of #140conf Detroit (http://detroit.140conf.com), which takes place at the Fillmore Detroit on October 20, 2010.
Come join us in each of these communities and have your voice and your stories heard in “The State of Now.” We’ll be having breakfasts, lunches, dinners and events including the opportunity to sign up for test-drives of Buick cars. We’ll have t-shirts, give-aways, and few more surprises along the way.
Come join us and let your voices be heard!

Jeff Pulver, has a lot to say about the principle of the back-channel– Â the conversation that is taking place, if you will, in a separate, or back channel that could be impacting your company, your people and your brand.
At the #140ConfDetroit planning meeting, ABC-TV affiliate Interactive News Anchor, Stephen Clark illustrates how he is using the back channel to listen to and engage with his viewers via Television.
Stephen is one of the many wonderful and local voices you will hear at the #140Conf Detroit and you can follow him on Twitter, here.
