We’re look­ing for­ward to the We Media con­fer­ence at the Uni­ver­sity of Miami on Feb­ru­ary 7–9, 2007. And look who’s com­ing to Miami!

iFo­cos kindly pub­lished an essay I sub­mit­ted on using new media tech­nolo­gies to build com­mu­ni­ties, to qual­ify for a fel­low­ship seat to the conference:

“Belong­ing to a com­mu­nity in a con­nected age affords us addi­tional options to develop our­selves and to affect others.…In a con­tin­u­ous give-and-take where we actively pub­lish and share our thoughts, opin­ions, exper­tise, book­marks, pho­tos, and so on, we par­tic­i­pate, con­tribute and enhance the groups we belong to, touch­ing those we know as well as those we don’t.…I believe that com­mu­ni­ties thrive through the pas­sion and shared inter­est of their mem­bers, and I would like to learn from case stud­ies and con­fer­ence par­tic­i­pants, new effec­tive strate­gies and appli­ca­tions that help fos­ter these interests.”

Scrap­blog is offer­ing a pro­mo­tional code worth $200: please enter code IFO-SCRAP when reg­is­ter­ing to get the dis­counted price for the conference.
