[ NNSquad ] Two Chances to Connect Faces with Names
With Lauren's moderator approval, I offer the following: I am guessing that many on this list will be attending South by Southwest in Austin in March, and many will be attending Freedom to Connect in DC in May. Since I live in Austin, and will be attending F2C, I would love to use both opportunities to connect faces with names. I am thinking of two things -- one is a specific meeting time and place, say during a conference break, for those attending or in the area to stop by and see who else from the list is there. The other is some identifiable signal, like a colored dot to wear on your conference nametag that lets others know you are both (a) on the list and (b) interested in meeting others on it. (No one has to share my interest in connecting names and faces, of course). I am already registered for F2C (special cheap rate for those registering before Feb 1). Others? SXSW? Conference organizers are reluctant these days to release attendance lists, so the fact of your attending either of these would be "list-confidential" as is the general list rule. I will compile a list of those both (a) going or in the area and (b) interested in connecting faces to names, but will only share the list with those on it. If you are going but do not have time or interest in meeting, I promise to respect that. Here's hoping to meet many of you at one or the other of these events. -- Rollie Cole PhD,JD Founder, Fertile Ground for Startups and Small Firms Helping Build Environments for Multiple Startups and Small Firms to Thrive 5902 Westslope Drive Austin TX 78731-3655 512-537-0898 _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
