Would you attend an FIR conference?

Thanks to Jeremiah Owyang, we have a vision for an FIR Conference

More than once, Jeremiah has insisted he’d pay to attend an FIR conference that included Shel and Neville as speakers, along with correspondents like Dan York, Michael Netzley, Eric Schwartzman, Sallie Goetsch and David Phillips (and, who knows, maybe even Lee Hopkins)—depending on availability—along with FIR’s listeners, notably many of those who have contributed to the conversation via comments.

In addition to presentations, we envision part of the conference adopting a sort of FIRCamp approach, with presentations on the fly from whoever wants to present one, and a lot of networking, providing an opportunity for members of the FIR community to meet and engage face-to-face.

In order to determine whether we’re on to something or have taken leave of our senses, we’re asking you. This poll will remain open until September 3, so please share your opinion. We’ll deal things like location, date and price once we get a good read on the general feasibility of the notion.

Thanks for your vote!

If you’d like to embed this poll in your own blog—in a post, perhaps, or in your sidebar—please feel free to do that. Just go to the Twtpoll site for this poll and copy and paste the appropriate embed code.

Thanks for your support!

  • 1.I'll be in the front row, bright eyed. I value the content and community of FIR, and think bringing the LISTENER COMMUNITY together will be great and add more value.

    You guys provide so much value over MP3, can't wait to see this in person.

    Starting small makes sense, then growing as needed. There's a lot of topics FIR touches that other conferences don't (internal communications, social PR, global trends, new tools)

    I'll be happy to support, and promote.

  • 2.I'm with Jeremiah.

    I've already invested hundreds of hours as a listener, at least a handful of minutes as a commenter, and more than a handful of minutes as a promoter of the show to colleagues.

    Make it California or Texas and I'm there for sure.
