I’ve received several inquiries from folks who want to pick my brain on event organization and planning. I’m producing a series of short videos; each one will address a particular area of event organization.

Based on my experience in producing WordCamp Portland as well as volunteering at other events, I offer some thoughts on general event size, scope, and schedule considerations:

This is the first of several videos I’ll be producing in the next few weeks. Stay tuned for more topics including facilities, sponsors, financial management, speakers, volunteers, ticketing, registration, and more.

This video contains a lot of thoughts on Twitter and the value of Twitter… lately things have seemed really noisy, with a lot of content that I may not want to see, some spam thrown in for good measure, and some otherwise tech-savvy folks who engage in what I feel are questionable Twitter practices. I talk about the value in one’s Twitter stream along with particular behaviors which degrade the value, wrapping things up with some solutions (both technical and behavioral) that I feel will increase the value of Twitter for individuals. The video is a bit long (a little over 13 minutes) but I’m hoping folks will watch and comment. Let’s increase the value of microblogging for everyone!
