Registration is now open for #140conf: Los Angeles / Media- please apply for event access early.

The 140 Characters Conference: Los Angeles (#140conf) will be taking place on October 27 and 28  at the Kodak Theater.

At the 140 Characters Conference we explore something Jeff Pulver calls: "The State of NOW."   The State of NOW looks at the effects of the real-time Internet on business. The core focus started by looking at the effects of twitter as a platform and what that meant to: Celebrity, The Media, Advertising and Politics. Over time the scope expanded to look at the effects of twitter on topics ranging from public safety to public diplomacy. Given the location of #140conf:LA, this event will have a special focus on the use of twitter in Hollywood.

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 from our NYC event over at:  http://nyc.140conf.com/140-vod.

The schedule for this two day event was unique and fast paced. It was Jeff's 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.

#140conf Los Angeles has a heavy focus on the effects of the emerging Real-time Internet on Hollywood and will be looking at various aspects of the Entertainment ecosystem. There will be a number of celebrities speaking at #140conf. But these are the people whose voices and presence are having a direct impact on the way Hollywood deals with the effects of the real-time Internet.

Some of the sessions on the #140conf LA schedule include:

- The effects of the real-time Internet on the Hollywood Box Office.
- Public Policy & Law
- Tweets, Tell and Tales: A look at the effects of twitter on Poker
- Hollywood Politics
- Twitter for Rockstars
- Google Wave and the Future of Communications
- I Tweet, Therefore I Am: Where Do Personal Identity and Brand Identity Meet?
- A look at how Hollywood Studios are leveraging the Real-Time Internet
- The Democratization of Information

- How to fit 140 characters into your lifestream
- twitter and Comedy
- CMO's Roundtable: The Effect of twitter on MY Business
- twitter and Brands
- Retailers Building Social Communities Through Twitter
- Making. News. NOW!

In all, there will be over 120 speakers on ONE stage over 2 days. About 60 different sessions will be shared.

The first draft of the event schedule is now available for viewing 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. The event schedule is under development and will be updated in the days ahead. In the meanwhile please check out the "Cast of Characters" which is a reflection of some of the people whose presence will be felt in the community of people who will be at the Kodak Theater.

We're happy to have Kodak as the title sponsor for this conference.

Event registration is now open over at: http://lax.140conf.com/register

Marketing Edge Interview with Jeffrey Hayzlett - CMO of Kodak and Sponsor of #140Conf

This is a great interview with Kodak's CMO, Jeffrey Hayzlett which took place at the first #140Conf in New York. Kodak is the sponsor of the LA and London venues. Also watch for news on the Tel Aviv event coming soon!

Playtime is 9:30, so listen while you work or chill out.  Lots there to hear and learn from.

Oh yeah... another great Kodak person to follow on twitter is Tina Clark

Time 9:30

Taking pictures on film has sure changed. Good thing Kodak is in the capturing memories and sharing in them business. You would be hard pressed to find an industry that has been impacted more than photography business. This disruption would set the average marketer on their heals. Not Jeffery Hayzlett, CMO and Vice President of Kodak, he has Kodak giving social media a big bear hug, dozens, maybe hundreds of Kodak employees are participating in social media, here is a short list thanks to Tweepz.

Hayzlett has what he calls the 4 Es of social media,

Engaging – Simply put you have to be an active participant, standing on the sidelines doesn’t get you much.

Educating – This would be mutually beneficial; it’s the exchange of information that creates the learning. You’ll hear in this Marketing Edge interview with Hayzlett, he listens really well.

Exciting – Just listen to the guy, life is a blast, share it.

Evangelizing – When you are passionate about something it’s difficult not to be an evangelist. When you get the kind of feedback that Kodak social participants have received, it’s easy to be an evangelist for the medium and for your own efforts.

Hayzlett is not a proponent of any certain tool, but certainly an advocate of a medium that engages him and Kodak with customers. That I believe is his most important driver in social media, he says anything that allows you to talk with customers is good.
