This Saturday I’m flying to Las Vegas to attend Mix conference. Microsoft Austria invited me (all these years of iResistance are finally paying off!) to visit the world’s capital of gambling – of course I’ll report my trip on this very blog and via Twitter. After my return from the US you and me hopefully know anything there is to know about one-armed bandits, striptease clubs with high moral standards, new Microsoft web publishing techniques and the status quo of the cloud.

Plus I expect to do a couple of video interviews – I’m not sure why Microsoft called this place “The Commons”, but there is definitely a hang-out and socializing place, which I will take full advantage of since some sessions are quite code-related. Read the rest of this entry »

On Tuesday night, the organizers took us to a great traditional Romanian restaurant where I realized that one of my favorite non-beef foods, namely “Sarmale” (cabbage rolls filled with a special kind of cured meat), is a national dish here in Romania. We also got to watch a group of dancers and we even engaged actively in the action (poorly though, at least in my case :). Later that night we visited Planter’s club later. I must admit that getting up at 7 on Wednesday was quite tough, but as soon as the first session began, the fatigue vanished in an instant. Read the rest of this entry »

Wow – I can’t believe the WBF2009 is already over. Time just passed so quickly – I’ll have more on day 2 of the conference tomorrow, but for now there’s just five words: Thank you for the invitation! The meeting was an incredible experience, Mihaela and her team did an unbelievable job: I’ve never been to a web conference that well-organized aka perfect – and I’d love to come to Bucharest again for the WBF2010!

The first day of the World Blogging Forum 2009 was all about empowerment and influence: since 99% of the participants are bloggers it’s no surprise that we all agree on the total and complete deadness of old media – that’s just a question of the vanishing point. But how to harness the power of the web to strengthen the civil society in dictatorial states? This issue is far from easy to tackle! Read the rest of this entry »

Just before I took off to Andalusia I got mail from Mihaela, asking if I wanted to attend the World Blogging Forum 2009 in Romania as a VIP guest. Yes of course! Flight and hotel room are already booked and I’m looking forward to a conference a lot! The guest- and speaker-list contains a lot of popular bloggers who I’m glad to meet face to face, plus it’s the first time I’m going to visit Bucharest. The organizers have invited the most successful bloggers from 30 countries to Romania to discuss the “ideas for a better digital world”:

The most influential bloggers in the world: The event brings together some of the most influential persons in the online media all around the world, in conferences and workshops aiming to establish clear parameters of the development of the online media.

Meshed #1 conference takes place for the first time this year. From May 28th to 29th, the ars electronica center Linz will focus on all aspects of Social Media Marketing. On my German blog datenschmutz I am giving away a free 2-day-conference pass (priced at €680) and there’s more: using the coupon-code meshed_datenschmutz will save you €170 when ordering a regular ticket. To enter the competition, you need a twitter account as I will be tweeting various quiz-style questions during the next three days. The persons who answers most questions right wins the ticket. There’s only one downturn: the whole-give-away is explained in German and I’m using my German twitter acount @ritchie_tweets, as the conference language will be German, too.
