This begins an informal series of interviews with the people who are speaking at the Final BlogPotomac (October 23, at the State Theatre, register today!), and what better person to begin with than the emcee? Shonali Burke is the incoming president of IABC-DC, and adjunct faculty at Johns Hopkins University’s Zanvyl Krieger School of [...]

Thank you to the few parties that have reached out to either help support or co-own BlogPotomac in the future. As many of you know, this autumn’s event is being promoted as the Final BlogPotomac. At the time of announcement, I listed two reasons:

Well, I’ve been called arrogant three times privately, anonymously and now publicly because of Thursday’s post on “Why a Final BlogPotomac: Social Media Really is Dead.” There have been public posts, some debating or decrying the discussion, others turning it into a parody. My feelings about social media innovation still remain the same, but [...]
With more than 3600 Tweets (3300 day of) and most blog posts written about last Friday’s BlogPotomac singing its praises (here’s one negative review and an unhappy happy hour attendee), many have been asking me why hold a final modified unconference? I cited two reasons, one of which was a desire to recapture some of [...]
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 [...]

It’s a new year, and now more than ever it seems we still need great, affordable events to learn about social media best practices. BlogPotomac 2009 will be held on the second Friday of June this year (June 12) at the State Theatre again. Like last year, 2009’s line-up features seven sessions from some of [...]
