Mike to speak in the 140 Character Conference in LA

Thursday, October 15, 2009

I found this Tweet by Jeff Pulver, saying that Mike has joined the Cast of Characters of the 140 Character Conference in LA, he will speak on October 27th.
About The 140 Character Conference in LA:

At the #140conf events, we look at twitter as a platform and as a language we speak. Over time it will neither be the only platform nor the only language. #140conf is not an event about microblogging or the place where people share twitter “tips and techniques” but rather where we explore the effects of the emerging real-time Internet on Business.

...this event will have a special focus on the use of twitter in the Entertainment Industry.

Interesting that Mike will speak at this conference...since it's related to Twitter, but hopefully there will be pictures and video!

Mike will speak at 4:40PM on October 27th (first day of the two day conference) at The Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, CA
He and Arron Ray are listed under "Artist & Manager" Subject: Notes on twitter & real time communication.

Not anyone can attend this, there is a fee, it's a lot of money but if you're interested in this, then register here.

When I look at the schedule ( http://lax.140conf.com/schedule ) for the upcoming 140 Characters Conference: Exploring the State of NOW, taking place in Los Angeles on October 27/28, the first word that comes to my mind is diversity. Over the course of two days there will be 63 sessions presented on the Kodak Theater stage, covering a diverse set of topics including: Education, The Democratization of Information, Public Diplomacy, Public Health, Public Safety, China, Brands, Comedy, Investing, News, Public Policy & Law, Poker, Small Business, Music, Sports, Hollywood Politics and a lot more.
