			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.meshconference.com/" target="_blank">Mesh Conference</a> is rapidly approaching, and I couldn&#8217;t be more excited. I&#8217;ve been trying to get out to a social media/public relations conference for a while now, but work hours and PR classes have created time constraints. My apologies to Third Tuesday and Thirsty Thursday, I will be there one day! Mesh seems like too big a deal to miss, so I was sure to get May 21st and 22nd off to attend.</p>
<p>There is a LOT going on over those two days, so I was sure to take a look at <a href="http://www.meshconference.com/schedule2008/" target="_blank">the schedule</a> to make a plan. Below are the seminars I intend to attend, and why. I <em>won&#8217;t</em> be live twittering or blogging during these events either,  I would rather pay attention and enjoy it. I will be sure to take notes and blog afterwards! Feel free to say hi if you see me there! </p>
<p><strong>May 21</strong></p>
<p>1:30pm &#8211;  Podcasting Workshop with <a href="http://tomtoronto.ca/wp-admin/www.prworks.ca" target="_blank">David Jones</a> and <a href="http://www.webwalker.ca/" target="_blank">Doug Walker</a>: I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll ever produce a podcast, but if this presentation is anything like <a href="http://www.shillpodcast.com" target="_blank">Shill</a>, it&#8217;s a must see.</p>
<p>2:50pm &#8211; Digital Activism with <a href="http://tomtoronto.ca/wp-admin/www.michaelgeist.ca" target="_blank">Michael Geist</a>: This promises to be an excellent presentation. Geist&#8217;s columns are always compelling and interesting, and he definitely knows what he&#8217;s talking about.</p>
<p>4:10pm &#8211; It&#8217;s a toss up between  Private vs. Public or Government 2.0, from Community Participation to Co-creation. Both topics are interesting and intriguing. Any suggestions or recommendations? Let me know! Otherwise, I&#8217;ll probably make a game-time decision.</p>
<p><strong>May 22</strong></p>
<p>1:30pm &#8211; Measuring Social Media: I&#8217;m really looking forward to this seminar. It features, among others, <a href="http://alanchumley.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Alan Chumley</a> and <a href="http://kdpaine.blogs.com/" target="_blank">KD Paine</a>, two giants of PR and media measurement. I&#8217;m highly interested in measurement, so this seminar promises to be one of the highlights of Mesh. It was just announced that <a href="http://publicrelations.meetup.com/85/" target="_blank">Third Tuesday</a> will discuss &#8220;How do we measure social media&#8221; the night before Mesh, so if you don&#8217;t have your mesh tickets, you can get a preview of sorts for free. Hopefully I will be at both!</p>
<p>2:50pm &#8211; Building a Brand on the Web: Always a great topic for PR, especially for MarComm or agency work. Plus it has a great group of participants, including <a href="http://socialmediagroup.ca/" target="_blank">Maggie Fox</a> of <a href="http://socialmediagroup.ca/" target="_blank">Social Media Group</a>.</p>
<p>4:10pm &#8211; Reputation Monitoring and Management: Another great PR topic, one of the most important aspects of PR in my opinion.  A good <em>finale </em>after two days of seminars.</p>
<p>So there it is! My schedule for Mesh 08. If you don&#8217;t already have tickets, bad news, they&#8217;re all sold out. Is there any social media scalping going on? Hope to see you there!</p>
