Startup Weekend Set For Nov. 21-23 In Lexington

Posted by Jason Falls on Nov-11-2008

Lexington, KentuckyImage via WikipediaWhile in Lexington, Ky., recently to present to the Lexington Ad Club, Nick Huhn and I met Brian Raney of ApaxSoftware who is actively involved in something very interesting and exciting called Startup Weekend. It is a national event that brings together the smartest and most creative people in multiple industries (web design, engineering, software, marketing, medicine, art, etc.) to share ideas and launch companies in the course of 54 hours.  By Sunday evening each of the self-selected groups will present their alpha version company to the rest of the attendees which will include local political leaders, multi-million dollar company founders and more.

The event minimizes formal structure to allow for maximum creativity, conversation, and productivity.  It will be coming to Lexington for the first time November 21-23, and will be held at Whitehall Classroom Building on UK’s campus.  The cost is $40 for the weekend and includes food and a T-shirt.

You can sign up here.

SMC Louisville August To Focus On Traditional Media

Posted by Jason Falls

The Social Media Club Louisville’s August Gathering is upon us. Please note that we’ve had to change our day for the month of August, so make note our gathering will be on Monday night, August 18, rather than our normal Third Tuesday schedule.

Please join us on Monday, August 18 from 6:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at the Louisville Visual Art Association at the Water Tower for a presentation that will strike a chord with anyone who gets their news from newspapers, television stations, radio stations or magazines. Jason Falls will present, “Where’s My Audience? How Traditional Media Can Use Social Media To Maintain Relevance,” which will look at the downward spiral of the old guard media, the trend of citizen journalism and how some traditional media outlets are using social media strategies and tools to maintain a relevant connection with their audiences. The presentation will be a preview of Falls’s presentation in September at Blog World and New Media Expo in Las Vegas, Nev.

Please RSVP for the event via email (smclouisville - at - gmail.com) or via the event page on Facebook. The calendar item is also available on the SMC Louisville’s Google Calendar (below). Light refreshments will be served.

Special thanks to the Louisville Visual Art Association for hosting us for a second, consecutive month. The July event was well received by all and we’re excited to be back.

    Would love to know what all was discussed…it’s my understanding that as a part of ‘going green’… paper newspapers are soon to be a thing of the past…is this true?
