When Jeff Pulver, 140 Characters Conference founder, visited Detroit a couple weeks ago to meet with our team about 140conf Detroit on October 20, he asked us all to make a short video to share our thoughts about the conference.
The main point I want to get across about this conference is that just because it’s taking place in Detroit doesn’t mean it’s a Detroit or Michigan conference. We really want support and participation from all across the country, particularly the states in the Midwest. Midwesterners can drive a few hours to spend a day meeting new people and hearing inspirational stories. Yes, I’m looking at you Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Columbus, Toledo and Cincinnati. To help rally the troops in the Midwest, Jeff is venturing on a road trip August 22-28 to stop in a few cities, meet the community and hopefully encourage people to attend the 140conf Detroit in October. So, if you know of anyone from Michigan, the Midwest, across the country, or heck, even across the world, who has a story to tell about the real time Web impacting the real world, please spread the word.
Here are my thoughts about the conference. I encourage you to do something similar…whether it’s writing a blog post, creating a video or tweeting nonstop about 140conf Detroit for 48 hours straight (OK, that might be extreme!). đŸ˜‰
