Today in Tel Aviv, I gave a presentation to a group of friends and associates of Jeff Pulver's startup ecosystem in Israel.
The premise of this presentation is NOT to do PR, but how to prepare your company for PR, how to be found by the media and how to make PR and strategic communications part of the R&D process.
The #140conf will be returning to the 92nd Street Y on June 19-20, 2012, where we will once again be exploring "The State of NOW."
This event is expected to be the largest worldwide gathering of people interested in the effects of the real-time Internet on both business and "me" the people. View the 2012 event website here.
As people's voices continue to be heard worldwide, and as we in the States will be entering the final lap of a US Presidential election cycle, the theme for our 2012 event is "Finding and Sharing Meaning."
Since 2009, some of the 800+ past speakers at our #140conf family of events include:

Spend a few minutes of your day watching, listening and discovering some of Israel's best and brightest entreprenuers that are building scalable, global and distruptive web-based enterprises. When you attend a Jeff Pulver breakfast event in Israel you never know who you'll meet and connect with.
Spend a few minutes watching this video to learn about people who live in Israel, have moved to Israel or, like Jeff and me, come back and forth to Israel to be inspired and connect with people that are disrupting every part of the traditional business ecosystem.
I am going to be in Israel from October 25th to November 3rd, and looking to meet with candidate clients in fabless semiconductors, security, enterprise software, cloud, green and water technologies.
I am also open to meeting with Israeli VCs who have portfolio companies.
If you can bring your companies together in a conference room at your offices, I am open to putting on a free 45 minute session on the basics of PR, the application of the social web for communications strategy, and content development strategies.
I'll also be helping Jeff Pulver with the #140Conf Tel Aviv which takes place on November 2. This is going to be a very special event. Please join us by registering here.
Startups Welcomed:)
If you're a startup, and even if you don't have an immediate budget for PR, I am still open to meeting you if you we can meet at The Diaghilev Hotel in Tel Aviv which is at 56 Mazeh at Rothchild. I might be able to give you some basic pointers on messaging, communications strategy and outreach.
I don't charge for this.
I just do it because I love helping startups.
There's lots of great coffee places near my hotel, or maybe just a walk up and down Rothchild Boulevard might be something good to do.
To learn more about the companies in have worked with just click here.
Last year at #140conf Small Town, we had people from all over America who came to Hutchinson, Kansas and shared their stories as well as the people who came to Hutchinson to hear them. Speakers came from not just Kansas from from 8 other States too. Our speakers shared their stories about the real-time web and how it is changing their lives and their businesses in the Small Towns they lived in.
Of the ten #140conf events which took place in 2010, #140conf Small Town was our 4th largest. In 2011 #140conf Small Town is the only event in America that is being produced outside of NYC.
Why?
Because Jeff realized how important it is to provide a stage and a voice to the people outside of the "big cities" whose lives continue to be impacted by the evolution of the real-time web. After a lifetime of producing events in big cities, #140conf Small Town continues to have an impact in how he thinks and how he approaches community.
Having been part of #140Conf events in New York, LA, London, Boston, Detroit and many other cities, I was amazed at the vibe and great energy that we discovered in a small town like Hutchinson. I promise that you will enjoy the experience. The perspectives shared opened by eyes to a part of America which I knew of but never felt connected with. I now do. It is never too late to reach out and discover something about yourself or your country.
A sampling of the many wonderful stories shared at #140conf events in Hutchinson, Kansas last year:

On September 20th, Jeff Pulver and Becky McCray will be co-hosting #140conf Small Town 2011. We will be back in Hutchinson, Kansas to share a spotlight on some of the people who will be sharing their stories about how the real-time web is changing their lives.
Whether you are from a Big City or a Small Town, you are in for an amazing day shared only the way #140conf can deliver it to you.

It will be the first conference of it’s kind to take a hard look at how the adoption of the real-time social web is changing the way the fashion industry works.
This event will be really great because Jeff is co-hosting this event with his partner, Lilly Berelovich of Fashion Snoops.

Since 2009, the global #140conf events have become the place to explore the real-time internet and it’s effects on both business and on people. I take great pride in having had the opportunity to help Jeff Pulver in working with sponsors, media and being a part of various Road Trips that helped us connect with our community.
During 2010 we provided a platform where the voices of individuals making a difference were heard. Our stage put a spotlight on humanity and we provided a venue which helped a few thousand people connect with each other through serendipity.
