Bios - Who are you?

Often we arrive at a conference to find a handy list of delegates and bios waiting for us so we can peruse the who's who of names and accomplishments in our midst.

But we figured...why wait until we get to Banff to find out who will be part of the conversation?

If you are attending the conference and would like to share your bio with other delegates please post it in a comment here on this post. If you'd like to add contact information or a website, please include it in the comment as well.

We are all looking forward to learning more about you!

Welcome to the Banff 2010 Conference Blog!

As you know, this conference isn't like any other LMDA conference you've been to; the content will utilize highly participatory formats to encourage a deeper exchange between particpants. There are no keynotes and no panels. Rather than gathering to listen to one key message and a handful of case studies, discussion will continually flow around a variety of ideas, questions, and inspirations that LMDA members bring to the table. Some sessions will be defined by each individual’s own passions, experiences, and specific interests...

Don't worry about how, just come with an open mind.

So we've created this blog to enable you to do what you do best: collaborate. This is a place where you can share inspirations, passions, and interests you look forward to bringing to the conference conversation. You can also share resources that you've found applicable to the conference. Found a great book that you were thinking about discussing? Post about it, then perhaps others will have a chance to read it before the conference. Found a great deal on a flight? Post about it, perhaps others from your area could use some help. Do you have a question about the conference that you think will benefit others? Post it... maybe, just maybe we'll answer you ;)

The nitty gritty about this blog:
  • As an AUTHOR, you can create posts/discussion topics;
  • As a READER, you can read and comment without signing up;
  • You can use the links we have provided for conference information and travel (right side bar);
  • You can view the complete list of posts (right side bar); and
  • You can see some pictures of the beautiful Banff Centre.
