Hi everyone:
So we’re here and we’re blogging! Thanks to everyone for their support of and enthusiasm for our “unconference” - and your patience with this site!
We’ve been working really hard to get around Philly and meet with many of you in the web/social media/creative communities and answer your questions about BlogPhiladelphia. Clearly, we haven’t reached everyone out there.
This post will hopefully clarify any questions you may have. First, this unconference is open to anyone who is working in with social media or wants to learn more about it.
What is social media? It’s all of those technology buzzwords you hear about all day, every day anymore: avatars, blogs, vlogs, podcasts, social networks, microblogging, mobile technology, text/sms, virtual communities, community-edited news sites, social bookmarking sites, instant messenger and more more more!
We’re working to assemble a large group of experts in all of these areas to come and lead informal sessions on July 12th and 13th at the Radisson Plaza-Warwick Hotel in center city Philly.
What’s an unconference? It’s an open forum for discussion. We arrange the sessions, you come to listen, ask questions and absorb as much information as you possibly can. You can float freely among the sessions - some will run simultaneously. Stay for the open-grid where locals show us what they’ve learned and what they are doing. Meet some of those mysterious bloggers that you read every day and haven’t seen.
And eat some food and enjoy entertainment that will be provided by our sponsors.
Go on now to check out the sessions; and leaders that we have to date and then hurry up and register!!
-Annie
