Starting tomorrow, I will be attending the #140Conf in Los Angeles, CA at the famous Kodak Theater (this is where the Oscars are held).
According to the web site Jeff says “At the #140conf events, we look at twitter as a platform and as a language we speak. Over time it will neither be the only platform nor the only language. #140conf is not an event about microblogging or the place where people share twitter “tips and techniques” but rather where we explore the effects of the emerging real-time Internet on Business.”
He shared some thoughts on the first conference in New York city.. “The first #140conf in New York City brought together people with many diverse backgrounds but the one thing which everyone had in common was twitter.”
He goes on to say “The original scope of #140conf was to explore “the effects of twitter on: Celebrity, “The Media”, Advertising and (maybe) Politics.” Over time the scope expanded to include Sports, Music, The Arts, Sciences and more. Given the location of #140conf:LA, this event will have a special focus on the use of twitter in the Entertainment Industry.”
Now I won’t be accepting a little gold statue but I will be engaging with those who are deeply involved in leveraging Twitter and the Social Web for various things.

This week I will be providing daily recaps of the event and gathering some video interviews for publishing when I return. All of these will available on the Network Solutions blog, Solutions Are Power.

To get a feel of what you can expect at #140conf LA, please check out the recorded videos from the NYC event on the 140Conf site. The schedule for the upcoming event will be unique and fast paced. Jeff’s goal is to provide a platform for as many people as possible to share their thoughts and engage in conversation with the attending delegates. There will be individual talks set to: 10 minutes; “Featured talks” 15 and 20 minutes and the various panel discussions are set for 15 and 20 minutes.
