Are you looking for some good conferences this spring? Last year I realized how valuable the in-person networking is & met the amazing people that I had ‘met’ online. Social media people are a great group to hang out with.

In the end of April I’ll be in San Francisco for NewComm Forum. As a 2009 Fellow with Society for New Communications Research I will be presenting on Metrics & Measurement for Successful Communities. Kellie Parker from Sega America will be co-presenting with me.

NewComm Forum has an amazing agenda lined up. It will be a great event!

In mid-May I’ll be back in San Francisco for Community 2.0. I am really excited about this event too! They have lined up an awesome group of presenters. I’ll be doing a 1 day workshop on community management, a presentation on the role of the community manager, and a panel on how to be a kick-ass community manager (thanks to Dawn Foster for that title).

And this has nothing to do with San Francisco,  but I may as well mention that I’m doing a half day workshop on community strategy at Enterprise 2.0. This will be in Boston & I’m really looking forward to my first trip there. I have a list of friends to meet! So if you’re from that area, stay tuned because we’ll be having a meet up.
