The Buzz Bin

For the next few days, I will be absent on the Buzz Bin as I attend to and recover from my unconference, BlogPotomac. Expect to see me return to the Buzz Bin during the middle of next week.

The schedule of events for BlogPotomac has been posted. Check it out! While the event is sold out, anyone can attend the opening Happy Hour the night before at CarPool (details are here).

BlogPotomac is already generating a lot of buzz on Twitter. The hashtag for the event is #blogpotomac if you care to follow along. Also the speakers’ Twitter addresses are:

* Shel Holtz (@shel)
* Shireen Mitchell (@digitalsista)
* Scott Monty (@scottmonty)
* Liz Strauss (@lizstrauss)
* Amber Naslund (@ambercadabra) and Aaron Brazell (@technosailor)
* Shashi Bellamkonda (@shashib)
* Doug Meacham (@dougmeacham), Rohit Bhargava (@rohitbhargava) and Kaitln Wilkens (@catchuplady)
* Co hosts: Me (@geoffliving), Jen McClure (@SNCR) and Viget Labs (Brian WIlliams , CEO is @barn)

We have also created an unpopulated Flickr group for the event. You can search for last year’s BlogPotomac photos (as well as new ones as they are uploaded) here. Blog searches can be conducted on Google.

Just a reminder to attendees that BlogPotomac is an unconference. That means it’s casual dress. As host, I plan on wearing jeans and a T-Shirt. I hope that helps set the tone. Other things to expect as part of the BlogPotomac modified unconference format:

* No PowerPoint (sorry, this nap excuse has been extracted)
* Boxed lunches from DC Central Kitchen, our event beneficiary
* A cash bar in the middle of the afternoon
* Filling out your own nametag at the event

Other aspects of the unconference format have been posted here.
