#weitzman Symposium: A big day at work
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Thu, 06/09/2011 - 06:54Well, here it is, Thursday, June 9th. In a few hours the sixth annual Weitzman Symposium will start. I was up late last night at a dinner with some of the speakers. I drove home through a severe thunderstorm with hail about the size of gumballs. (I don’t think there is any damage to the car, but I didn’t look closely). In the middle of the night, another severe thunderstorm rolled through our area.
I woke up early, unable to sleep, and with plenty to do. You see, this is the first time the Weitzman Symposium will be streaming live online as well as having a twitter backchannel. Please take a look at my work blog post about the conference. I’ll put up a new post around the time the conference starts which will embed the Ustream video and the CoverItLive discussion.
Yesterday, I sent out an eblast about the conference and a lot of people have been sharing the email, or posting it to Facebook or Twitter.
If you want to do me a big favor, post the link of the blog post or the eblast on your favorite social media sites, and then, stop by, and visit the conference virtually, and be sure to introduce yourself online.
