#eceu

Pictures tell a thousand words. Certainly in laying the foundations and cocreating this event, we have many many takeaways in collaboration, organising, hybrid, pods, remote audience, virtual engagament, Open Source as only you can learn by doing. I want to thank the wonderful contributors to Event Camp Europe, the participants, Live in Pods and virtual, the Sponsors, Technicians, Speakers, our star Virtual Emcee Emilie Barta, our venue(s), Pod organisers, our ROI consultant and co-creator Elling Hamso and Rosa Garriga Mora, the ROI week visitors but most of all those wonderful people crazy enough to venture into such adventure. Thank you dearly my fellow producers of the very first ever Event Camp Europe. You are true stars who made this happen: Jenise Fryatt, Lindsey Rosenthal, Paul Cook for making this adventure one never to forget and one in which we embrace the boundaries of what we know and what we want to learn. The storify enclosed below is a tribute to all those brave enough to experiment at the boundaries of what we know today. May we someday look back ad smile. I have after reviewing the content and compiling what you see below. I welcome your comments and thoughts on the effect and impact of events like Event Camp Europe and what else we can do to look around the corner at what's coming our way in the future. Ruud Janssen

The follow up of a webinar presentation is potentially a good conversation starter around a place of common care.

As promissed in my webinar co-hosted this afternoon by the Event ROI Institute for the 2 day course during ROI week at Down Hall in London, UK on 7&8 September 2011 followed by the application of the learning during the third day at very first ever EventCamp Europe , I committed to posting the presentation and an audio recording  of this very webinar. 

Below the fruits of my promise:

Hopefully we meet in person at EventCamp Europe or the 3 day course to take away tangible results from 3 days of strategy and tactical training leading to operational results. 

I look forward to any of your questions or remarks in the comment box below, 

I have been struggling with this "blogging" concept for a long time.  I have always been one to write down everything and make lists in an effort to structure my wants, likes and dislikes, and to-do items, but the idea of sharing that with anyone seemed far too vain. What I've learned as my "readership" has moved beyond my few staple music blogs is that I find solace in a lot of other people's thoughts and opinions.  I am comforted when I see someone who shares my thoughts, feelings, or ideas.

I am not sure if my words will resonate with anyone, and even if they do, perhaps writing and reading blogs are both egotistical acts - i want to know that other people are like me and I want other people to see how they are like me.  Regardless, I am going to try.

We'll see if this venture moves beyond a few posts, but my three favorite music blogs -- I guess i'm floating, fuel/friends, and everybody cares everybody understands -- have made a big difference in this decision, and in turn, a lot of what I write will center around music.  For the time being, this is not a traditional music blog, I will not be offering mp3s for download, but I definitely will be posting songs, links to other blogs, concert videos, and album reviews.  Amongst this music, I hope to share a profound thought or two, some mood-lifting videos, quotes, and some film review.
