Spring’s starting to look better and better, with two great events landing on my calendar.
- First up is NTEN’s Non-Profit Technology Conference next week in San Francisco. Thousands of non-profit tech types will converge on the Hilton from April 26-28. The programme looks amazing, and I’ll be helping to kick off the now-legendary NTC after-party with a set of standup comedy.
- Then, a month later, it’s back to the Bay Area for the annual NetSquared conference from May 26-27, where I’ll be one of the featured speakers. This year’s focus is squarely on mobile, and promises to be the most exciting conference yet. It’s a sort of homecoming, because Social Signal has been proud to be involved with NetSquared from the beginning – one of our very first engagements was building the online community that supported the conference (and then became one of the premiere hubs for non-profit organizations aiming to make the most of online tools).
I’m looking forward to catching up with old friends, making new ones and seeing the amazing work being done by some of the most innovative organizations and individuals on the web today. See you there!

If you’ve sat through far more than your share of bum-numbing presentations, your mind addled by a droning speaker reading from an endless procession of text-heavy PowerPoint slides leavened only by baffling charts and meaningless graphs… …then... by Rob Cottingham | Mar 15, 2008 | Conferences and workshops, Social Media, Technology, Vancouver
I’m hunkering down for a massive April Fools Day. OK, make that a Massive April Fools Day.

Here at Northern Voice, the very generous Lloyd Budd just made a few quick changes that fixed tagging on this blog at long last. I owe him big-time. Thanks, amigo.
