    Hey :)

    I'm Murray Newlands. I've been working with Brandon to get the word out about ForumCon!

    With one month to go for ForumCon I want to offer you the opportunity to win a ticket. ForumCon is a 1-day forum and communities conference taking place June 12th in San Francisco that is dedicated exclusively to managing, growing, and monetizing online communities.

    Do you have a small forum and cannot afford a ticket? I want to help. I have a small quantity of free tickets available for those that cannot afford to buy them (a $99 value). If you’d like to win won, reach out to me, Murray Newlands, at info AT influencepeople DOT com and let me know why you'd be interested in attending with “ForumCon Communities Conference” in the email subject line.

    I’ll pick a handful of my favorite responses and set them up with a complimentary ticket!
    A little more on what the conference will be covering this year...

    • Kris Jones, renowned author, will be giving a keynote presentation on SEO best practices for online communities.
    • Dan Gill, Founder & CEO of Huddler, will be talking about how online communities can better leverage their influence with online advertisers.
    • Other sessions to cover content monetization, advertising, community management, and platform technology.

    More information can be found on the ForumCon site. Hope to see many of you June 12th!

    - Murray

    I would so love to attend this but this year with the move and everything, it just isn't cost effective for me to find a sitter for my kid and dog, then take days of work.

    I'll be in a lot better position next year and I'm really planning on trying to make this work.

    If I had the money for the plane ticket and everything else, I'd go. Looks like I'll be watching various tech sites when this goes down to see what's going to happen. I know vBulletin 5 is going to be announced there, so let's hop they introduced some new sleek shit, or make the layout better, upgrade the blog/cms feature, and other shit.

    I'm looking forward to hearing about the event, will there be a Twitter hashtag that we can follow?

    Thanks!

    I'm wondering the same thing since I always have twitter open as well, either on my iPhone, or on the browser on my laptop.

    I'll need to know about the twitter hashtag, too. I will rise and shine tomorrow morning.

    If you find out then please report back for us, I'll be reading first thing in the morning as well.
    If I see it before hand, I'll update one of these threads.

    I see a few users on Twitter using #ForumCon, which makes the most sense. Note that @ForumCon themselves have not used any conference-specific hashtags on their own account, so I wouldn't expect a lot of encouraged live-tweeting.

    I see the hash tag from yesterday, I hope it's active on Twitter.. If not it's rather sad, most big, hell even small, conventions will have an online presence.. I hope the ForumCon people planned that out.

    Here is the link to the "forumcon" search
    https://twitter.com/#!/search/forumcon

    If I add the # or @, it'll bring up fewer so I just did the general search.

    Looking forward to hearing what's going to happen today, especially news about vBulletin 5!

    I'd like to know that as well.
    I know they're 2 hours behind me, so it's 7:30 am right now
    I'm hoping the Twitter feed really starts hopping in another 60-90 mins.

    Your post could not be far from the truth. #ForumCon was a prominent feature at the event. In fact, there's a dedicated section just for that. So, naturally, I was surprised by Mr. Sheley's comments at the event. I literally laughed at the event.

    I'm making a thread about this right now, but I want to tell you first directly.
    Becasue it was taken place in a hotel with a small lobby, there were only -an estimate at a few hundred people- that attended the event.

    ...I said "on their own account" and that was before the event had actually started. I now see there was one on May 8, but other than that, they hadn't been using the hashtag in their tweets. I'm glad that they decided to do so (both on their account and through on-site promotion, as you said) during the event, and that others (including Brandon) chimed in as well.
