lucid plot

I’ve written an article for FUMSI magazine called “Seven things I’ve learnt about organizing a conference”, based on my experiences organizing Content Strategy Forum 2011:

The internet and the social web are revolutionising the events industry. It’s now possible to organise a conference for a relatively small group of people who are passionate about a topic, even if they’re scattered around the world. You don’t need a large advertising budget, the support of mainstream media, or an office full of staff – you just need a compelling story, a committed team, great speakers, a community that’s engaged with you via social media, some logistical savvy and a large dollop of courage.

Thanks to Martin Belam for encouraging me to write it.
