Charlotte Bloggercon Notes

Notes for the upcoming bloggercon in Charlotte, sponsored by Parker Web Developers.
June 11, 2005 (trial target date)


1. Email the major players 2 months before the event. If the event occurs in September, emails should issue in July. As with Anton, it might do well to elicit the aid of Ed Cone of Greensboro and Paul Jones of Chapel Hill. Anton Zuiker would also be a good person, since he hosted Triangle. Others that might be considered are Billy the Blogging Poet, who can run the projector, Robert Redick for audio, David Hoggard for being who he is, and as a Presenter for government blogging.

A possible lineup might include:
Ed Cone: Blogs and Journalism
David Hoggard: Blogs in the Public Sector and/or personal health blogs. (His wife is documenting her struggle with cancer.)
Anton Zuiker: How to host your own bloggercon.
Henry Copeland: Blogads and the future of blog advertising.
Mathew Gross: Politics and Blogging.
Sally Greene: Officials who blog.
Ruby Sinreich: Community blogging.
Ben Hwang: Blogging and technology.
Roch Smith Jr.: Local blog aggregation.
Evan Zimmerman: Statewide aggregation.
John Hood: To comment or not to comment?
Paul Jones: iBiblio and institutional blogging.
Stewart Pittman: Photojournalistic blogging.
John Robinson: A Newpaper Editor speaks on their experience with blogging.
Bora Zivkovic: Blog Carnivals. The international angle.
Tony Patterson: Blogging and the arts
Brad Krantz: His take on blogging. Celebrity.
Scrutiny Hooligans: Mountain bloggers
Patty Ann Smith: Music, Arts and South Carolina blogging

- Dave Winer
- Christopher Lydon
- John Marshall

2. Shower the blogosphere with notification. Ed, Anton, Paul, Hoggard, Jack, Robert L, David, Darryl (get blog up and running), Stribs, etc.
Create a standard paragraph about it, which the others came copy/paste.

3. Use the same format as Anton (MisterSugar) to create the signup wiki, using Instiki.

4. Among the people who should be contacted are friends and colleagues of Darryl & friends, Dave & friends, Scott & friends, Robert & friends, Jack & friends, as well as local bloggers, and editors of the Charlotte Observer, Creative Loafing, Charlotte Post, Rhino Times, and other smaller publications in the Charlotte area.

5. Check and make sure people are signing up on the wiki.

6. Listserv inclusion at UNCC, Davidson, Queens, CPCC, Kings, as well as other community listservs.

7. Big Names

8. World of Mouth

9. News Release – to wiki, UNCC news service, other Univ. & Community services

10. Media Interviews – Dave, Darryl and such talk to Mike Collins, Observer, Creative Loafing, etc…

11. Other Events – Related events such as special guest interviews with local and perhaps statewide or national media.

12. Create a ta-da list to keep track of tasks, schedules, progress, etc…

13. Sponsorships – Review the bloggercon “rules”, and try to work within that framework. Potential sponsors include:
Parker Web Developers
Webkorner
Bakeries
UNCC
Observer
Loafing
Coffeehouses
Food caterers
Etc.
14. Help and staff – Secure folks to help with matters, projectors, wiring, testing equipment, etc…
15. Welcomes. At the beginning of the conference, introduce the people who have traveled the farthest and/or who have overcome the greatest odds to attend.
16. liveblogging and follow-up posts – dozens of bloggers write about the conference before, during and after the event

17. thank-you notes – e-mail messages of thanks to all who attended; written notes to key participants to be mailed this week
