Welcome to Jeff Pulver's 140
Characters Conference! (#140conf)
The 140 Characters Conference: Los Angeles will be taking place
on October 27 and 28.
At the #140conf events, we look at twitter as a platform and as a
language we speak. Over time it will neither be the only platform nor
the only language. #140conf is not an event about microblogging
or the place where people share twitter "tips and
techniques" but rather where we explore the effects of the
emerging real-time Internet on Business.
The original scope of #140conf was to explore “the effects
of twitter on: Celebrity, “The Media”, Advertising and
(maybe) Politics." Over time the scope expanded to include
Sports, Music, The Arts, Sciences and more. Given the location of
#140conf:LA, this event will have a special focus on the use of
twitter in the Entertainment Industry.
The first #140conf in New York City brought together people with
many diverse backgrounds but the one thing which everyone had in
common was twitter. To get a feel of what you can expect at
#140conf LA, please review the recorded videos over at: http://nyc.140conf.com/140-vod
The schedule for the upcoming event will be unique and fast paced.
It was my intention to provide a platform for as many people as
possible to share their thoughts and engage in conversation with the
attending delegates. You will find individual talks set to: 10
minutes; "Featured talks" 15 and 20 minutes and the various
panel discussions are set for 15 and 20 minutes. You can see the
schedule over at: http://lax.140conf.com/schedule
The take aways from this event will provide the attending
delegates knowledge, perspectives and insights to the next wave of
effects twitter and the real-tme internet will have on business. I
hope you consider joining us at the Kodak Theater in October.
Note: The "Cast of Characters" represents some (but not
all) of the people who you will find at the upcoming conference,
including the people who are speaking at the event.
