EVENT DETAILS

The next meetup will be this coming Saturday, November 15, 2008, from 2-4 PM EST at the University of Cincinnati. Please RSVP via the Eventbrite page.

PECHA WHAT?

Pecha Kucha setup with MacBook and projector

What is Pecha Kucha, you ask? Simply stated, it’s a presentation style in which the presenter has 20 slides and talks for 20 seconds per slide, so that you wind up with a punchier presentation. Read these two articles (the second one has an embedded YouTube video that illustrates the point nicely):

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecha Kucha
• Pecha Kucha: Get to the PowerPoint in 20 slides and then sit down

KEEP THIS IN MIND

Sound like fun? Wanna take a stab at this format and share something with the rest of the group? Here’s what you need to do/keep in mind, should you decide to present:

• The topic should be something related to New/Social Media
• You will need to come up with your own 20 slides
• You can put the presentation onto your own laptop or bring a thumb drive with it (I believe UC’s computers run MS Office, so think PowerPoint if you’re going to use that option.)
• We will set up the presentation so that it will automatically advance to the next slide after 20 seconds
• Sign up at the New Media Cincinnati wiki page: http://newmediacincinnati.wetpaint.com/page/Our+Next+Meetup

PARKING

Since we are having the meetup on a weekend, parking may be available on the streets. Paid parking is also available in various garages. Please check out

We had a great meetup at Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers in downtown Dayton this afternoon.  About eight of us showed up in-person, but I also was able to UStream the event via the New Media Cincinnati channel, so even more people showed up!

In October 2007 I was chatting with Andy Osier about my desire for folks in the social media community in Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky to meet up. Within a few hours, we had created the New Media Cincinnati group on Facebook and had a Twitter account promoting our first meetup.

We wanted to bring enthusiasts and professionals in the area together so that we could network and share ideas. I’d been meeting up with folks in the Dayton area for lunch for some time and had been sharing that with friends on Twitter.

It’s amazing to think that we’ve been doing this for a year. I really appreciate the community we’re building, the friendships and connections we’ve made, and I look forward to the next meetup, which is this Saturday! We’re using Eventbrite again to help with organizing, so, as the button says,

At the time I put the event together, we had no one set up to talk. That may be changing. I’ll post updates here, on the Eventbrite page, and of course, on Twitter, as they come in.

Update: Joe Wessels, Communications Director for Ohio State Representative Steve Driehaus’s Congressional campaign and accomplished journalist, will be talking about social media and politics.

Do be sure to follow newmediacincy on Twitter for any late-breaking updates.

Tonight I and over 200 other folks from the Greater Cincinnati area will be meeting together for LinkedCincinnatiLIVE (more details below). I am so glad, too, that my schedule freed up at the last minute for me to do so. I hope to connect with as many of you as possible.

Here is a recent picture of me, in case you’re looking to connect:

LinkedCincinnati LIVE – Details

If you have not signed up for LinkedCincinnatiLIVE tonight, August 27th, you need to do so right away! Over 200 attendees have pre-registered, and we’ve got some seriously incredible items up for grabs in the silent auction.

For those in the local recruiting community, we have a FULL ADMISSION ticket to SourceCon 2008 in Atlanta in just one week for auction, a FULL ACCESS ticket to ERE’s Fall Expo in Hollywood Beach, FL at the end of October, AND a ticket to RecruitFest coming up in Toronto on Sept. 19th. The RecruitFest ticket is worth $220, the SourceCon admission ticket at $1,195 and the ERE Fall Expo ticket at over $2,000. You’ll want to make sure to come to LinkedCincinnatiLIVE and put your bid in for one of these can’t-miss events!

In addition to these event tickets, we have some really cool things that will be on the auction tables, including:

• Design/promotional/marketing consulting services
• Recruiting services
• SEO consulting services
• DBA services
• Skin consultation services
• A B&B weekend package in WV
• A guided upland hunting trip
• Books written by some of our attendees
• A private flight tour from a local pilot
• …and much more!

The silent auction is optional participation, and money raised from these auctioned items will go to help fund an aid trip to South Africa being taken by two LinkedCincinnati members, Jennifer McClure and Amybeth Hale. The $5 door cover will go to offset the facility rental and refreshments and will enter you into a raffle drawing during the course of the event. Cash bar will be available: soft drinks: $1.95, beer: $3.25-$3.75, wine: $5.00, cocktails: $5.50+.

Our auction items range in cost from around $10 all the way up to $3500 so there is something for everyone to check out. Business owners and managers, consider bidding on some of the consultative services for your company.

Don’t miss this opportunity to meet other local professionals in the Cincinnati area (and beyond – there are people from as far away as Florida attending!). Bring your business cards and get ready to mingle! Hope to see you there!
