The heart and soul of the #140Conf events are the Characters and Attendees who travel from near and far to take part in a very unique, and often times, a life changing experience.

“You never know who you will meet at a #140conf or how you will affect change in the world. I predict that the #140conf in Detroit will be the pinnacle of a new paradigm for what Jeff Pulver calls “The State Of Now”  I honestly believe that Detroit is in for a re birthing process that will revolutionize the way City’s in America reinvent themselves. If you like being in the center of something big, new, powerful, and unpredictable? Go to a #140conf and be prepared to feelthe experience because #140confs are not events they are experiences”

“The #140conf expanded my understanding not only of how Twitter (the “real time Internet”) has permanently changed the landscapes of media, communication, and marketing, but also, of what the amazing possibilities are for me and my clients. Anyone who wants to be on top of their game, regardless of industry or area of interest, must have a comprehensive understanding of what this medium offers.  The #140conf is the only event that offers attendees the platform and program to fully understand, and master, this communication revolution.”

“It’s like lighting up Times Square exponentially with savvy and useful information.  The opportunities to network with like-minded people  as well as brands, companies you have  followed are meaningful.  All I can say is “bring it on.”

- Stevie Wilson – @LAStory

“The stories that I hear at 140 Character Conferences and Meetups touch both my heart and my mind. Whether it’s from the presenters from every walk of life, or the friendly attendees, I learn something new each time. After each event, I am energized, have at least one new idea that I can apply immediately to my business, and the best of all, have a few new connections that are gradually developing into friendships. Can’t ask for anything better than that. Join us!”

“How does one describe the #140Conf experience? It’s more than life, the universe and everything. It’s personal sharing, learning, evolving and staying on the cutting edge of humanity.  The #140Conf experience is learning how to process information and life all over again. It is like winning the lottery or learning how to walk all over again because of the quality of information and the quality of people who attend. It is an absorbable encyclopedia of real-time life and the web. To paraphrase Pogo – “We have seen the future and it is us!”  #140Conf is how everyman/everywoman can take everything into his/her own hands again.”

“More than a conference, the 140 Characters Conference is an experience that will inspire you and help you catch up and move ahead professionally – no matter what field you are in, from nonprofit to education, commerce and beyond – while forging in-person relationships which, thanks to social media, will grow and last for years, enriching your life personally and professionally.”

“The #140 conference is an opportunity to hear first-hand stories about how social media and other aspects of web 2.0 can make a difference on both a personal and professional level. People talk about how social media has affected their lives and you can chat with them, and anyone else in attendance, in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. #140 may be more useful than hearing from the big speakers on the conference circuit, many of whom who give canned speeches and are not necessarilcoming from a personal perspective. #140 is grassroots. You hear authentic stories and engage in the oldest form of social networking – face-to-face conversation.”

“The amount of learning, combined with fun and great open people, was inspirational and has helped me grow my business and my knowledge of this ever-changing media/tech world.  The #140conf that I attended, earlier this year, proved to be the catalyst for my finally getting off the dime and doing all the things I knew I should be doing in the world of SM (social media).  I learned things I didn’t even know existed, I was educated about all the good we can do via the Internet, the people were gracious and welcoming, and the presentations ALL smart, concise for my attention-deficit mind, and covered so many different and interesting topics.”

– Bruce Sallan -@brucesallan

“The #140conf events –Tweetups, Conferences, Parties and Roadtrips – present an opportunity to consistently broaden your social media knowledge, whether for its own sake, or for application in communication, business, news, politics, philathropy or just about any other sphere. You always meet the most interesting and creative people at these events, and each time, Jeff’s mix of speakers,  their topics and perspective leave you substantially more informed and meaningfully inspired.”
