Hi folks, Walt Crawford's "Cites & Insights" for June is out, and is a special issue dedicated to attending and/or speaking at conferences.
Download it here: http://citesandinsights.info (hit "current issue"), or here is the pdf direct: http://citesandinsights.info/civ7i7.pdf It is written by a library professional for librarians, so is of course heavily library-centric (so ignore all the ALA - American Libraries Association - stuff). However, there is still enough of general interest to all types of conference attendees/speakers for me to mention it here. With the Web Directions conference coming up, and numerous other web standards-related events around all our local areas, I feel it relevant to drop a single post to the list about it (notice how I got web standards in there so that this is on topic?). Topics that might be of interest to this group (repeat: ignore the library-specific sections): - Coping with conferences: tips on scheduling, planning, networking, eating, travelling, technology, blogging, twittering, backchannels, etc. - The speaking life: tips and suggestions for speakers, money and fees and negotiating, powerpoint (and how it sucks and how to do it right or not at all), leading a discussion, keynote speeches, the care and feeding of speakers, conference-speaker arrangements, travel arrangements and contracts, making the speaker happy during the event, etc. regards, lib. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
