As many of you know I attend the #140conf in NYC every year and there is a strong possibility that I will be there again this year What you probably do not know is that every year I create a twitter list to make it easier to follow up on all of the speakers. While it is always a public ally available list I’ve never really made the presence known. Since this years theme is all about YOU thus the slight deviation to #140You I’ve decided that I should share the list with everyone.
u140 Speakers
In sharing the list I hope that it will assist others in learning about the speakers. I believe it will excite you to meet them, hopefully encouraging more new people to visit the conference. If you haven’t been before it’s an intense two day event well worth the time especially if you are a NYC local. For more information about the conference head on over to the main site.
I for one am looking forward to seeing speakers that I met in earlier years like Mallika Chopra and Liz Nead. Of course there are the ones that I see every year like Ted Rubin, and others that I have not seen in several years like Angela Shelton. Finally there are all of the friends on the conference staff as well as the other attendees I’ve made over the years that whom I hope to run into again. It’s definitely tweetup season so we’ll have to see what tangent mini conferences occur.
The #140Conf is an opportunity to meet people face to face that you’ve may have only interacted with online. Honestly, social media is all well and good but it’s what happens out side the virtual that matters. Do you really want to spend your life behind a keyboard wishing things were different or out there making them different? This is real life where real things happen and you need to be a part of it.
Of course if you do go you’ll get to meet me as well so there’s always that…
