The #140 Conference on Ustream!
Posted on 21. Apr, 2010 by DanielKalmar in Community, Events, Hotel
The 140 Characters Conference: New York City (#140conf) will be taking place April 20-21, 2010 at the 92nd Street Y. This event is shaping up to being the largest worldwide gathering of people interested in the effects of the real-time Internet on both business and “we” the people.
Our event is mostly sold-out. The remaining tickets available for #140conf NYC are one day passes to attend on Wednesday, April 21st. If you would like to network with the #140conf NYC community, please consider purchasing a ticket for our networking party on the evening of April 20th. #140conf NYC will be broadcast live in it’s entirety on UStream. Please join the broadcast over at:http://www.ustream.tv/nyc140conf.
The format at the #140conf events is unique. Individual talks 10 minutes, keynotes are 15 minutes and panel discussions are no more than 20 minutes. During the course of the two days more than 140 people will share the stage at the 92nd Street Y in about 70 sessions. To get a feel of the energy you may experience in April, click here to review the videos from the 2009 #140conf NYC.
At #140conf NYC we will be taking a hard look at something Jeff Pulver calls “The State of NOW” and the continued effects the worldwide adoption of social communication platforms such as twitter is having on a number of industries including: Celebrity, “The Media”, Advertising, Politics, Education, Music, Television, Comedy, Real Estate, Public Policy and more.
The take aways from this event will provide the attending delegates knowledge, perspectives and insights to the next wave of effects twitter and the real-time internet will have on business in 2010 and beyond.
#140conf Los Angeles will be taking place October 5/6 and #140conf London will be taking place October 26/27. If you are interested in speaking and/or sponsoring these events, please contact Jeff Pulver.

Adam and I are always honored when Jeff asks us to speak. We believe in his goals, his ability to connect wonderful people and his serendipitous outlook on life. When asked to speak in Boston Adam and I jumped at the chance. We were honored to be part of such a great line-up:
Jeff Pulver (@jeffpulver) - Welcome / State of NOW Update
Adam Wallace (@adwal) - New Media Manager, The Roger Smith Hotel
Alicia Staley (@stales) "Here Come the Cancer Survivors: Awareness to Action
Charles McEnerney (@wellroundedradi), Host + Producer, Well-Rounded Radio
Steve Garfield (@stevegarfield) - "Sharing Video Now!"
Special Thanks to Chris, Nicole and Katie from The Colonnade @Colonnade for taking the time to give us a tour and have lunch. I strongly suggest following them on twitter, visiting their restaurant and when Summer hits they are prepared for Poolside Tweet-Ups on their roof overlooking the South End and the Back Bay !

On Thursday, January 14th, Adam and I (Brian) will be at N.E.R.D. in Boston to speak on behalf of midtown Manhattans Roger Smith Hotel at Jeff Pulver’s #140 Meet-Up. This is a special event for us because although we live in NYC we are both New Englanders, Adam is from from Antrim, NH and I am from Kennebunkport, ME. We will be arriving in Boston Thursday afternoon and heading to The Elliot Hotel in The Back Bay. After checking in we are hoping to meet some of our loyal supporters from Boston – In Real Life!
If you are unable to attend the event and would like to meet up please contact us via twitter @RSHotel @AdWal or @Bsimi and let us know when and where, we will try to accommodate. Looking forward to many familiar faces and hopefully a lot of new ones.
See you Thursday Boston!
