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.

Forum, Message Board Expert To Present At October Social Media Club Event

Posted by Jason Falls

Online forums and message boards are often ripe with knowledgeable and enthusiastic users who are true influencers on the Internet. But communicating with those influencers can be risky for brands, organization or marketers unfamiliar with the unwritten and sometimes quirky rules of engagement in such communities.

Patrick O’Keefe, author of “Managing Online Forums,” and owner and founder of the iFroggy Network, will discuss these niche communities and how to approach them as a user, marketer or potential manager, in a web teleconference presentation to the Social Media Club Louisville. The teleconference will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 21 as part of the SMC Louisville’s networking event from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at The Louisville Visual Art Association at the Water Tower. O’Keefe’s teleconference is scheduled to run from 7 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. The rest of the event will be informal networking for those in attendance.

Several copies of O’Keefe’s book will be given away as door prizes. Refreshments will be served. The event is free and open to the public.
