Wednesday,February 3rd, 2010I am really fired up about this weekend’s (Saturday, 2/6) Event Camp 2010 at the Roger Smith Hotel in New York City. An intimate group, nearly 50 people, are registered to attend this cutting edge event.
While the attendance numbers are not huge the quality of participants is amazing. For those of you familiar with the Twitter Hashtag community “#EventProfs” many regulars from this group of professionals are attending Event Camp.
For those people unable to attend the event a live webcast is being offered for many of the sessions, thanks to the generous sponsorship support of Livestream. Virtual attendees can access the webcast at the following URL:
During the sessions live and virtual attendees will be able to converse with one another on Twitter, referencing the official Twitter Hashtag for the event, #EC10. In addition, to make the experience more user friendly for the virtual attendees, a Twitter chat window will be embedded at the webcast site.
Following the Opening Keynote, featuring David Berkowitz, an interactive discussion will take place in the same room, in a breakout entitled “Creating A Hybrid Event.” I will be moderating the session, flanked by panelists Paul Salinger, of Oracle and Robert Swanwick of Speaker Interactive.

Hope to see you in New York City!
Great post, Mike! I am so excited to get to NYC!
Do you know if there is free wifi in the meeting room? At SoCon10, the wifi was there but iffy, and it was really frustrating. I just want to mentally prepare if that is the case.
See you soon!

yes, Christina, there is free WIFI in the meetings area… I don’t what the quality is like though.
I guess we will find out!
