After the event organised by IABC last week on Web2Eu, an exciting conversation started: people shared ideas and content on the ning platform that was set-up by Hugh Barton Smith while several emails, tweets and other discussions took off.
Seeing as people clearly seem to want to continue the discussions that had started, we thought of a simple way to do it: let’s meet again! In order to make this simple and cheerful we went round the corner from the ZN office to a place Le Break de l’Abbaye (they have a facebook group so you can even check pictures) and asked if we could use the room they had upstairs for people to get together to discuss how the internet was changing communication in Europe. He said ok – as long as you pay for your drinks!
So there goes. For those who want to continue the conversation or join it, pencil this date into your agenda:
Thursday 18th June at 16.30. The address is rue saint Georges 2A (coin rue de l’Abbaye); 1050 Bruxelles (maps and satellite information will be provided shortly).
The format will be simple:
People can first introduce themselves and tell us what they are interested in.
3 or 4 speakers will make a five to ten minute speech (no powerpoint slides allowed) and share some thought provoking experiences with the others. The rest will be an open discussion, followed by networking. Nice and easy.
No charge to come, as long as you register (to make sure we know who is coming). Casual, friendly, basically a social network but offline.
We will focus on how you as an association or communication professional can get your head round key concepts and tools, how you can address objections, what works and what doesn’t.
Helen Dunnett will be back by popular demand, followed by my colleague Steffen (aka blogger steffen78) and myself.
Any suggestions for the format and topics are welcome. If you want to come or bring a friend register on the hyperthinker ning or on the IABC ning – feel free to invite guests, just keep us posted on the numbers.
See you there.
Phil
