What the Cluetrain Manifesto taught me about events 2008-03-16 12:40:33 The Cluetrain Manifesto
is almost ten years old. I was actually surprised to see it was written in 1999 for two reasons:
- It is amazing to see how it is still relevant to both Internet and businesses. The words of the manifesto sound like a Web 3.0 startup’s mission. They got it right. The people [...] Read more:events
Technical Difficulties 2008-03-18 10:24:34 Apologies to all those that connected in the last four hours.
Either a bug in Wordpress or host troubles or a pseudo-hacker attack are undermining the Event Manager Blog.
We’ll survive.
In the meanwhile you won’t be able to get some pictures, but 100% of the content should be there and links should be working.
Apologies for the inconveniences.

When going green is not enough 2008-03-25 12:33:43 Last week I had the chance to read about De-growth. I am very convinced now that less is actually more. I think the concept behind the movement outperforms every green/sustainable theory so far. It is quite embarrassing there is no Wikipedia entry about it in English. I will commit to translate it from Italian.
There are [...]
ecoCamp: a case study 2008-03-30 10:57:19 Most of my afficionados know that I’ve worked in the past two months at ecoCamp, a BarCamp about the environment, ecology, sustainability and energy. The event took place yesterday 29th of March 2008 in Conversano - Italy. This post sums up what happened before, during and after the event, from an event management perspective. As [...]
What’s Ricardo Semler got to do with events 2008-04-03 06:51:50 Ricardo Semler has sparked a revolution for the theory of business management. He has actually put in practice what tons of authors have just theorized. He walked the walk and showed the world that horizontal management is indeed more effective than any other approach. Events are about people. Pressure, limited time and resources [...] Read more:Ricardo

Jack Mardack and Eventbrite 2008-04-10 11:38:12 Eventbrite is an online ticketing and registration platform for events.
It is one of the most adopted and therefore definitely worth a review and interview with its Director of Marketing, Jack Mardack.
How does it work?
Few things that I love about the service:
- There is no standard price. They earn a percentage based on your ticket [...]

Is Multitasking good for you? 2008-04-21 12:30:22 Lately I have been having a great conversation with few of you on what were the top 5 qualities of the successful event manager. Although not in the Top 5, a lot of you named multitasking.
I agree. Even if you are involved with planning a dinner with friends, tasks will include collecting RSVPs, arranging food [...]

Spam @ Barcamps 2008-05-06 11:41:08 I am hearing things that should have not happened are indeed happening.
I heard of people going to BarCamps and complaining about 15 minute spamming sessions. I’ve heard of unattentive organizers preferring the pitch of a product, a software or a blog over discussion and creation.
This is what unconferences should not be. By pitching you are [...]
Work Breakdown Structure and Details 2008-05-06 11:10:29 Events are about details. If you don’t pay attention to details I strongly suggest you pursue another career path, or alternatively read below.
If you are convinced that details are indeed a priority I strongly suggest you think about using a Work Breakdown Structure
(WBS) to manage your next event.
Project managers use WBS to break down [...]

About being disruptive 2008-05-19 04:30:53 Boring endless presentations. This is what modern conferences are all about.
This trend needs to be stopped as soon as possible. As more people put their hands on Powerpoint/Keynote/Impress and so forth, more bullet pointLESS productions arise.
If you attend regular conferences and maybe you paid to participate I think that this is the ultimate masochistic practice [...]
