Changes and a New Twitter Chat for Event Pros: #eventtable
Posted by Jenise Fryatt on Thu, Feb 02, 2012 @ 07:15 PM
There have been some major changes happening for me and I think it's time to share what's up with all of you.
First, I've left my position as community manager for Engage365, the online community for event professionals I managed for more than a year.
However I'm thrilled to announce that I will be working with The Conference Publishers to build a new blog and hashtag, #eventtable, in an effort to create and share online conversations about meeting and event innovations.
As part of this effort, on Monday, Feb. 6 at 3 pm est I will launch a new, weekly Twitter chat called #eventtable. Our first topic will be Event Technology Trends for 2012 with guest Liz King of Liz King Events and Plannertech.
I can't say enough how thrilled I am to be working with The Conference Publishers. I've been a big fan of CEO Mitchell Beer ever since I began blogging on the topic of events. Mitchell's thoughtful and articulate posts for meetingsnet.com have always been examples of the kind of industry journalism to which I aspired.
The Conference Publishers has also impressed me as an intelligent and elegant answer to the need for capturing conference content. What a wonderful way to put those outstanding journalism skills to use!
Getting to know Mitchell and Senior Account Executive Iana Ciatti has been a true joy. I don't think I could ask for a more supportive team nor one whose values and interests match mine more closely.
As part of my work with The Conference Publishers, I will be updating its popular blog, The Edge which will be renamed to match the chat. Mitchell and I will also work together to tap our network of meetings and events bloggers, social media specialists, and subject specialists to join the discussion.
I hope you will join that discussion and help create a community were you can come for guidance, sharing and fellowship among your event professional peers. Our focus will be on innovation in events and I know a lot of you are interested in that!
Join us in kicking the whole thing off with our first chat this Monday at 3 pm est. Remember, the hashtag is #eventtable. See you there!!
