Hi and thanks so
much for posting a topic for the first ever Social Media Camp Long
Island. You are officially in!!
Thanks to our awesome
co-sponsors at St. Joseph's we have not only enough room for all the
talks that were submitted but room now for literally twice as many! If
you know anyone else who has something interesting they want to share,
tell them now is a good time to let us know. That said
because we have space we will allow people to propose talks right at
the event, like a traditional camp event.
This is a quick note to
let you know what you're in store for that day. Those of you who have
never been to an unconference or camp-style event you're in for a treat;
this will probably be different than anything you've done before
and you're really going to enjoy it.
First things first, if you're
reading this and your first thought is 'oh crap, I forgot I signed up to
do that' (don't laugh it actually happened a couple of times
this week) please do me the courtesy and pick up the phone and call me
now (Jeff, 516.882.7712). Thanks!
Still here? Good, on to business. Long email so here's an overview:
- Remember this is
Social Media Camp, an unconference (like barcamp), not a seminar
or lecture series. It's different...
- Be there
at 10am to choose your room and time slot...
- Discussion
slots are 50 mins and the focus is on interaction not lecturing or
selling....
- We have projectors, PCs and boards
- Wi-Fi password
- Lunch
- Giveaways and
Schwag
- This is an unconference, based on the barcamps. Here's a pretty good video of the first Barcamp ever (I think). It's a little geeky at the beginning, then it gets good, then geeky again, but you'll get the idea.
- The goal here is
to bring people interesting smart people together and create a dialog
that leads to long term relationships. It won't be the elevator pitch
type of place, but rather a relationship building place.
- Much
less formal than the typical conference, a lot is left to be done on an
ad-hoc basis, like scheduling.
- It's all about the
interaction, building bonds between individuals.

- There
are no prearranged time-slots. Please, please be there at
10.
- There
will be a schedule wall in the McGann Center with names of rooms across
the
top and times of sessions down the side like this.
- If you're stuck and
will be late, please make arrangements
to have someone else grab a time slot for you at 10. If you can't get
someone to grab you a slot, no worries, we've got plenty
of space for sessions, so don't worry that you'll be shut out if you're
late.

- All
sessions will be 50 minutes. My suggestion is make your discussion as
interactive as possible; the focus at a camp is not on us the speakers
but rather on the exchange of ideas between everyone in the room. And a
reminder, please no selling, provide value to your fellow
campers.
- It's like that one
class in high school where the teacher actually encouraged you to talk
and ask questions, more fun, better learning and a couple of times, the
students had more important things to share than the teacher...
- There is a basics track being run
throughout the day administered by Louise DiCarlo and Steve Haweeli for
the absolute newbies. That doesn't mean you can't do a basics talk, but
maybe it takes some pressure off; feel free to have the conversation you
need to have without worrying too much about alienating newbies.

- The school is
giving us rooms that are fully equipped with projectors, screens, PCs,
whiteboards and even some smartboards.
- The
minimum you need is you, your mouth and maybe some notes (or maybe not).
- If
you have PowerPoint or video or something you're working with (totally
up to you, not required), be sure to have it on a memory stick or DVD
that will work on a Windows PC. I don't believe there are any Macs.
- Handouts
are fine and also very optional.
- Wi-Fi: the username the day of the event will
be smcampli and password sjc2010
- St. Joe's is providing lunch at 1pm.
- There will be a few giveaways, thanks to our
awesome sponsors. If you want to donate something cool to give away, let
us know right away.
- All
speakers are welcome to bring schwag. Let us know in advance and we'll
make room for it near the registration table
