| How to beat the summer (blogging) slump |
| 2008-07-21 05:33:41 |
I’ve been tagged and although I tried to dodge it in the past it seems like it’s about time to participate. Cece Lee from PR meets Marketing got me into this.
4 things you like about summer:
- If you are in London it’s around 20°C (68°F) and having experienced 48°C (118°F) it’s a blessing
- If you [...]...

I talked in the past about trying to find an open source, free and complete alternative to expensive EM software. Well Amiando it’s the closest solution to that. They have released a new version of the already great platform. I must admit it kicks asses, to use an allegoric phrase.

When I started to run my own events at the tender age of 16, I was victim of that passion that still drives me today.
The characteristics that made me successful back then, are pretty much common to all those working with events:
- a continuous hunger of meeting new people

If you have done your marketing correctly your delegates should be hungry. I am not talking about the buffet I am talking about your event.
Are the people attending your events hungry and motivated?
Are they impatient to know more about the event, to participate, to get involved to buy the sponsors product to [...]...

Negative Feedback.
Very tough to find, very hard to accept.
Without negative feedback I think I would have been a complete uncompetent.
If I have to think back at my education as well, I still remember those lecturers who had the ability to let you understand what exactly you did wrong.
My idea is that too [...]...

Boring endless presentations. This is what modern conferences are all about.
This trend needs to be stopped as soon as possible. As more people put their hands on Powerpoint/Keynote/Impress and so forth, more bullet pointLESS productions arise.
If you attend regular conferences and maybe you paid to participate I think that this is the ultimate masochistic practice [...]...

In the meanwhile you won’t be able to get some pictures, but 100% of the content should be there and links should be working.
