One Location, Camping Out


These decisions have a tendency to change. I was planning on doing one, then two, then most three events during Social Media Week in February, I ended up doing seven. But for now my decision for Internet Week is to camp out in one location and do as many events as possible in that one location, and to spend more time in the hallways wildly shaking hands than sitting obediently in halls as panelists pontificate.

Monday is my oh so important immigration court date, and that takes priority, and since my hearing is scheduled for 1 PM, and I am meeting my lawyer at 11 to prepare, and court hearings have a tendency to start late and drag on, I have no Internet Week plans until 3 PM Monday, and I am at peace with not even showing up until 4 PM, maybe 5 PM: no soup for you. But once I am done with the court stuff, which might be in the late afternoon, I hope to drop by and inaugurate my Internet Week. I am seeking refugee status, kind of like Einstein.

All these events are listed on one page at the Internet Week website itself. I paid good money to get thus listed.

I get the impression the parties in the evenings are going to be unnecessary. And there seem to be only three or four halls where all the events are at. I don't think it is going to be hard to figure out. I might look a little lost the first day, but then it is a good thing I am doing only a few events the first day. Lade Liberty beckons.

Hello people. I think I am going to at least peek into all events I have listed for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. See if you can beat me. And Brett Martin is buying me lunch, I just don't know which day.

My Plan For Internet Week


My plan for Internet Week - not set in stone - is to just show up and camp out in that one building and meet as many people as possible. Mind you, I did not say attend as many panels as possible, although one can expect overlap. If people are watching the panels, where you gonna go?

June 6, 7, 8, 9. I am carving out those days.

The Internet Week: The Thing To Do

Social Media Week makes you run around. I don't need to be doing sight seeing in New York City. After taking visiting Nepali dignitaries on citywide tours when doing democracy work for Nepal a few years back, I got to see everything multiple times. Enough. Now get me people.

I am curious as to the building. Must be a big building. Are you supposed to RSVP for panels? Because I have not. I need to look into that. Otherwise I might show up all ready to go with nowhere to go.

But then it is the hallways where you really meet people.

I am for random mingling. Make it a jamboree.

But then I am also open to taking in the best panels.

I did list some offsite events, but I just might skip them and stay camped in that one building. I think I might get hungry. And thirsty.

The Internet Week Is Mumbojumbo

Summer is so here. I was walking around today all sweaty, good kind of sweaty. Bring it on.

I am curious. What is this building? Must be big.

125 W. 18th Street

I just googled up the address and this name showed up.

Metropolitan Pavilion

Looks like they have huge halls. Nice. 20,000 people are expected to attend.

The Internet Week: The Thing To Do

The Empire State Building.Image via WikipediaI think you show up less to soak up the knowledge and more to meet people. And I just discovered something that makes Internet Week look like a better deal than Social Media Week. For the most part you stick to one location. Get a 15 dollar pass, and stick to one location.

The Internet Week Is Mumbojumbo

Image representing TechStars as depicted in Cr...Image via CrunchBaseI was just at the Internet Week page. There's a lot going on. And looks like you have to pay for each event. It is not like Social Media Week which was mostly free events, or rather all free events.

First of all, there are soooo many events. You can't even browse through all just to get a glimpse.

One good option probably is to buy a pass for 15 dollars but that only covers events at one location for four days, June 6 to June 9.

I guess the arduous process is to go through all the events and be selective and go to a few events. This below is not a list of all events I am going to. These just caught my eye. And I might go to one or two that I might not mange to list today.

You read the lists of events and you realize there is so much knowledge in the blogosphere.
