If you happen to be in Algarve this afternoon, it’s a chance we could meet at ExpoEventos.org. Don’t forget to check-in on Foursquare. Or Gowalla.
I’ll be giving the talk above, on how the new web has changed the event industry and how to use the new platforms and services.
New media festivals are usually promising, with lots of great performances and exhibitions, and yet, they do a lousy job of promoting themselves on the web. That’s what probably happened to UM, the International Festival for Experimental and Mixed Media, taking place in Lisbon, that has almost no reference in Google. Come on, is it that hard to announce the event on Upcoming.org or Rhizome ?
Of course i’m not happy about as the even occurs while i’m out. AdobeAS3Tour with Colin Moock is taking place next Monday, and no way i’ll miss a weekend break in Milan for a badly announced event. For those interested, here’s a small selection:
