I just started Age of Conversation 3: It’s Time to Get Busy! I will let you know what I think.
Creating a Conversational Conference
After returning from the Society for Pentecostal Studies conference earlier this month, I have wanted to take a traditional conference and make it more conversational through the use of social media. It appears I have my chance.
I will be working with a conference occurring this June and implementing a full complement of social media tools – blog, Facebook page, Twitter accounts, apps, backchannel, monitoring, etc. – to create a conversation community. This will include activity leading up to the event, during the event, and after the event.
One of the primary challenges is that it is not a crowd that is highly tech savvy, so one of the pre- conference tasks is education. We will follow everything up with a post-event survey.
It is pretty exciting to design this from the ground up and I am looking forward to putting together a team that will help facilitate conversations throughout the conference. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I would appreciate them.

Stories Share Our Values
What are your stories? What stories do your employee’s tell when someone asks them about their work? What stories do your customers tell when they are asked about your business?
Stories are important. Telling stories is how cultures have shared their values. It is how your values are being shared, whether they are the ones posted on your wall or not.
You have the opportunity to create stories from the experiences of your employees and customers that show what you value as an organization. Listen, then go tell some stories.
