I’m a Web 2.0 and Social Web event planner, attender, and promoter. I am the Executive Producer for FailCon, and have worked on SF MusicTech Summit, Girls in Tech: Catalyst Conference, Finance4Founders, SFbeta, and many other entrepreneur, tech, and web 2.0 events.
I am also, oddly enough, an introvert.
I attend about 4 – 10 events a month now, a fair run of the industry, I’d say, without becoming overwhelming. With easily a dozen events a week, however, this means I have to be pretty picky.
So here I’ll write about all the upcoming tech events I hear about, which ones I’ll be attending and why, and my follow-up to them.
I’ll also be writing tips and tricks for other regular wallflowers on how to try and blossom.
And finally, I’ll pass on my hints for keeping events affordable and fun, tips on how to have a good sponsorship, attendee, or speaking experience, ways to be noticed, and more.
Here are some other great places to check out, to get a feel for what I do and why I do it:
Why Events Are Important:
Hi,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I’m a conference producer as well, and have been doing all-things-event related for 10+ years now. I just started my own event firm, and one of my clients is a PR firm where I’m serving as their event arm. They forwarded your newsletter for me, and I love it, very helpful for their clients. So 2 things – first, can you add me to your newsletter? Second, I’d love to connect at some point and hear more about what you do and how we can possibly help each other going forward. Our industry is a small world, always good to know your neighbors!
Cheers, and best of luck.

P.S. Re your bio — I’m planning a wedding right now, not sure if it can be done on the cheap…its nutty how expensive everything is.
