Howzit, exciting! I would like to have Max Kaizen first, I feel it could stir up conversation, and set the tone for the day.

Alt.conference v2 - let's start talking

Paul Cartmel from New Media Labs (altconf's excellent Cape Town partner) and I have started talking about the next iteration of alt.conference. We are thinking about running the next set of events in Cape Town and Joburg in February 2010. This time the events will take place on different days.

I have a few ideas about the theme for v2 but I'd like to hear from you and what you would like the theme to be. Who would you like to hear from? Do you want to change the format, time of day, catering ch… Continue

Alt.conference - more social than media

About 45 people came together in two locations for the inaugural alt.conference events held simultaneously in Cape Town and Johannesburg on 4 July.

As for the CT event,… Continue

I have a pretty good idea who I would like to be there but who would you like to hear from or have a conversation with? What about having a panel discussion with your dream team of SA social media gurus? Who would you like to have on a panel? What would you like the discussion to be about?

The Big Idea

This was originally published on the Facebook Group on 20 March 2009

I pointed out that the attendees at these conferences are frequently people who are already involved in social/online media/marketing/development (you know, the believers). These people… Continue
