During the Cuban Missle Crisis Bobby Kennedy suggested we gather a group of smart guys and lock them in a room until they came up with some good ideas. In that spirit, we're hosting this event.
Beauty vs. the Blog: We're looking for creatives and technicians to discuss in depth the trends and ideas that will shape the world wide web, how we interact with it, the problems with content management, upcoming programs that will change how we design for the web, the importance of video in the next five years... you name it, we'll disucss it for an hour, then spend the next hour networking and more than likely drinking lots of coffee.
We are planning to have this event recorded for broadcast on the web on my website as well as a handful of others. So when you RSVP just know there's a good chance you'll be on video. The sign-in sheet will serve as a release form. Also, we will be posting this video on a blog (either my own or on its own), where everyone that RSVP's will have the ability to post contributions to this topic. We may even have one-on-one video interviews scheduled at a later date for those who would like to participate.
We've been talking about hosting an important event like this for quite some time. The web is rapidly changing and we invite everyone to use these ideas that are generated for their business. Even if you don't want to RSVP, but would like to observe and take notes, you are more than welcome. Unfortunately, if we have more than 16 involved in the discussion, it might become too difficult to manage. Sorry!
Look forward to seeing you there.
