Web2EU continued - NOTE CHANGE OF TIME TO 5PM!

NOTE: We are moving the start time to 5PM. Apologies if it causes any problems. Please update your calendar.

After the event organised by IABC last week on Web2Eu, an exciting conversation started: people shared ideas and content on the ning platform that was set-up by Hugh Barton Smith while several emails, tweets and other discussions took off.

For those who want to continue the conversation or join it, pencil this date into your agenda:

Thursday 18th June at 17.00. The address is rue saint Georges 2A (coin rue de l'Abbaye); 1050 Bruxelles (maps and satellite information will be provided shortly).

The format will be simple:

People can first introduce themselves and tell us what they are interested in.

3 or 4 speakers will make a five to ten minute speech (no powerpoint slides allowed) and share some thought provoking experiences with the others. The rest will be an open discussion, followed by networking. Nice and easy.

No charge to come, as long as you register (to make sure we know who is coming). Casual, friendly, basically a social network but offline.

We will focus on how you as an association or communication professional can get your head round key concepts and tools, how you can address objections, what works and what doesn't.

Helen Dunnett will be back by popular demand, followed by my colleague Steffen (aka blogger steffen78) and myself.

Any suggestions for the format and topics are welcome. If you want to come or bring a friend register on here - feel free to invite guests, just keep us posted on the numbers.

See you there.

Steffen has just posted on the 4 pillars of online engagement model he described at the event and which, unsurprisingly, caught the interest of many participants. You can find it here on his blog.

Hi Phil, I'm giving a training course at MCE and aiming to be finished that by 17:00 so hoping to be there close to the start. Looking forward to learning some new stuff and have invited James Anderson, who's been working on some e-projects with me.

Actually, it's looking increasingly likely that I won't be able to make it - a critical project meeting just emerged for 17h that day.

As for examples, I think I made a slidecast for my colleagues a few months ago about 'event in a box', which is an event website/logistic system designed specifically to create communities of practice around EC programmes and policymakers. It uses a lot of 'inside EC' information, however, so it's on our internal best practice intranet. I should probably do the right thing and first ask my ex-colleagues whether they'd mind it getting a bigger public.

Great - it looks we should have a decent turn out. Please feel free to post suggestions about topics you want to discuss. Mathew, can you share some concrete examples of communities of practice (is this a good example of one?) and tell what kind of tools you need to make them work? Ian, looking forward to your input on the IABC World conference - Hugh mentioned that Neville Hobson joined us live at the previous session was also podcasting from there (check out his note). Any other topic people want to cover?

I am looking forward to this. Just back from IABC World Conference in SF and willing to share impressions.

Sadly missed the previous do, so I'm mighty curious!

Comment by Mathew Lowry on June 9, 2009 at 11:02am

Will try and make it. It will be a relief to see a powerpoint free zone. My main interest, unsurprisingly, are EU communities of practice.

Comment by Cecilia Waldvogel on June 5, 2009 at 12:10pm

Sounds great. Will try to be there. C

Unfortunately have a day full of meetings on the 18th but I encourage everyone to attend, it will definitely be worth it!
