Will You be at ceBIT This Week?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Sprechen Sie Geek? I’m brushing up on the handful of German words I already know because I’m headed there this week to speak at ceBIT. If you’ve never heard of this conference, then you certainly need to have your geek card [...]
You’re Invited to the Gnomedex Conference
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Most tech conferences would charge you thousands of dollars for the privilege of being inspired. Gnomedex, however, does not! It delivers more bang for your buck, as it has been for the past ten years. This year, the 10th Gnomedex will [...]
I Can Haz Cheezburger
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I recently attended the WTIA Fast Pitch Forum & Technology Showcase. The conference featured two dozen of the of the hottest technology companies in Washington presenting their business in a competition for “Best In Show”. I Can Haz Cheezburger is well-known [...]
Gnomedex: Getting Geeky with It
I guess Gnomedex is all about the geeks – and registration is now (officially, seriously this time) open for 8.0 this August. You can go directly to the order form or… wait a while before making a decision. But we’re the kind of geeks who love to socialize (which is good, considering this is a [...]
Deconstructing the Gnomedex Conversation
I’ve been staying out of most post-Gnomedex discussions (and fights) intentionally. People seem to have already made up their minds about the event, one way or another. One thing’s for sure: people certainly are passionate about their personal and professional perspectives! I decided to wait for emotion to subside before saying anything more about the [...]
The Initial Gnomedex Decompression
I’m only beginning to sift through the Gnomedex information inside and outside of my own communication spheres – and it’s beyond overwhelming. Feedback has been quite constructive, and I was definitely sensing an increasing amount of disparate frustration with random elements across our conference’s universe. It boils down to both Ponzi and myself doing our [...]
What Does Gnomedex Mean?
Christopher “The Name Inspector” Johnson did an accurate gnomenclature of our conference brand today… To understand this name, you first need to know (if you don’t already) that the conference is run by Lockergnome, the brand under which net entrepreneur Chris Pirillo and his associates do all their stuff. That’s where the Gnome- part comes [...]
Gnomedex is Happening
I’m not sure who started the rumor, but it’s only gotten stronger over the past few months – and I’m not sure why it was started, who started it, or how it may have damaged the perception of our effort in Seattle. I do believe that the vicious rumor started somewhere in Silicon Valley. No [...]
There Are Gnomedex Tickets Still Available!
Register now, while you still can. We haven’t done it yet, but we’ll likely sell out the Gnomedex conference for the third year in a row. Yes, there’s still time to register if you haven’t done so already. Again, we still have seats in the main hall available. I’m repeating myself on purpose. Anybody can [...]
Under the Radar Tech Conference
On June 28, 2007, at the Microsoft Campus in Mountain View, CA – I’m streaming “Under the Radar” live! There are a few presenting companies, and I’m hoping to catch a moment or two with them all on-cam with our community: Adap.tv Bunchball Criteo Cruxy Flowplay Fora.tv iLike Kongregate MOG mPire Pluggd PowerReviews ReverbNation ScanScout [...]
Women at Tech Conferences: Mythbusting
So, uh… for the past few years, we haven’t announced any Gnomedex speakers before opening conference registration to the world – largely because we’ve always taken special care to craft our content around the registered audience. Some might argue that we’re putting the cart before the horse with this approach. With our limited amount of [...]
Gnomedex Registrations are Open, BTW…
Not sure if many of you caught the non-announcement, but I opened the registration process for Gnomedex last week. We’re kinda already 1/3 sold out, I think – so I figured I’d better say something pretty public about it before too long. Here you go: no press release, just a single blog post that will [...]
Gnomedex 7.0 Dates
Congrats to Scott Beale for getting his photo of John Edwards at Gnomedex 6 into the latest issue of Time Magazine. Sadly, “Gnomedex” didn’t score any ink in the article – but that’s not keeping us from rolling forward with Gnomedex 7. If you wanna save the date, put August 9th – 12th 2007 on [...]
Tentative Gnomedex 2007 Dates
What about August 9th through the 11th (2007) for Gnomedex 7.0? I’m sure there are going to be scheduling conflicts, but consider this your “warning shot.” I realize this may concide with some family vacations, but you realize that Seattle is an amazing destination for kids of all ages? Okay, so… we’re thinking about setting [...]
Gnomedex is not Dead
I’m not sure who started the rumor, but Gnomedex isn’t dead. At least, not to my knowledge? If it’s dead, nobody bothered to tell me. We’ve had quite a bit of upheaval lately, but throwing Gnomedex out is not one of the things that’s happened. Quite the opposite in fact! We haven’t done any updates [...]
