Attend The Virtual Social Networking Conference

by David Evans on June 24, 2008 in Dating Events

Wenesday June 25 is the Virtual Social Networking Conference. I’ll try to jump into the chat room for a bit at mid-day EST. The virtual event for iDate Miami was pretty good but suffered a lot of glitches which took away from the overall experience. We’ll see if Pringo has their A-game on for this event. If not, it’s time for Mark Lesnic to find a new vendor.

Pre-event networking is a good way to build out your pre-event contact list. Last time it was great to be able to chat before the event, get to know people a bit, then connect F2F at the show.

Interesting sponsor list: HP, Sybase as main sponsors, besides Userplane, which everyone reading this already knows about, and Transparansee, which makes search engines more effective. No social network sponsors or video-sharing companies, odd.

The Mashable blog has the most street cred out of all the sponsors. My rant about Mashable – they are throwing a party in Boston soon which I am boycotting. TechCrunch throws a fantastic open bar and after-party in Boston last fall. It’s 1am and Arrington is standing next to me and we’re drunk and chatting. That was great fun. Mashable is charging for a similar event, and unlike this blog they make tons of bank on advertising. Booo!

Golden rule: the pre-event chat is only as good as the people who attend. Looking forward to meeting you in the chat room tomorrow.

Be Sociable, Share!
