First EventCamp Europe!

August 26 | meeting and event planning education, meeting and event planning resources, Uncategorized | staff

Registration is open for Event Camp Europe, a day-long conference for event professionals exploring innovative formats and technology for meetings and events to be held in London Sept. 9.

The conference will focus on hybrid event technology (the use of online streaming to add a way for remote attendees to participate in a live event) as well as innovative meeting formats and techniques.

Event Camp Europe will also be a hybrid event and will offer opportunities for remote participation via PODs (groups that agree to attend the event together at a remote location) and for individuals viewing from their home or office.

Cost for the event is £100 for onsite attendance, £250 per POD for participation including a full instruction kit and case study on How to Set Up a Remote POD for Your Event. Individuals are invited to participate remotely at no charge, but registration is still required.

For more information, please check out the EventCamp Europe website.

Philadelphia: EventCamp East Coast

No Comments

November 7 | meeting and event planning education | staff

A reminder that Event Camp East Coast takes place November 11 – 13 in Philadelphia, PA.

This “BarCamp-style” conference is an off-shoot of the inaugural EventCamp Conference, which was held in NYC last February.

Participants are called upon to create their own agenda with informal, facilitated discussions being the order of the day. Attendees benefit of a community-oriented style of learning — where no one — and everyone is an expert.

The program for the event is based on organizer Adrian Segar’s twenty years of research and experience with conference attendees, described in his book, Conferences That Work: Creating Events That People Love.

The next EventCamp National Conference is being held February 11-13, 2011, in Chicago, IL.
