31 Mar 2010

Here's the best pitch I can make for journalists covering the #140Conf: Programing you won't find anywhere else, the Characters who are speaking, and the 900 or so attendees that amplify the vibe.

This pretty much states the obvious, but two of the main reasons journalists cover and attend industry events and conferences is because of the programming and the speakers. Having been a part of the #140Conf New York last June, LA last October and London last November, I can tell you (no, I can promise you) that #140Conf is hardly a conference in the traditional sense.  It's two days of energy, insight, spontiniety, serendipity and - well, yes, love.  

#140Conf is as much a cultural experience where you are going to meet amazing, smart and very nice people from all over the planet doing really interesting and meaningful things not just on "twitter," but the transformation of communications on the social web.

So, if you're a journalist wanting to cover an amazing two day event that will get your brain engaged and your readers / viewers / listeners some content they are not going to find anywhere else on the planet, please apply here.

As of today, here is the present program schedule.
