My contribution to Social Knowledge: Using Social Media to Know What You Know is moving forward in the process. I’m hoping to have a chance to update you all as to the publish date when that becomes available.

Join me on Saturday, February 20, 2010 for a great free conference at the Ohio State University – Digital Media in a Social World (the whole conference is both Friday and Saturday):

Bridging the Gap Between Traditional Offline Engagement and Online Social Networking
Does your organization have a split personality? Is your audience getting mixed messages between how you interact online versus offline? Learn how bridging the gap between your traditional audience engagement and your online social networking efforts will provide a stronger foundation of supporters and greater innovation.

I love the opportunity to meet up with my fellow Art of Hosting practitioners and this January’s meetup was no different.

I had the pleasure of hosting this event with Phil Cass, Hazel and Chuck Morrow-Jones and Rick Livingston. The turnout for the event was great with about 30 participants including a couple of Oberlin students and a Boston area writer who is interested in covering the Columbus movement in an upcoming book that she is publishing with Meg Wheatley.

The event took place at the Ohio State University Knowlton School of Architecture which is one of my favorite facilities in Columbus.

Our event flowed through a check-in, two rounds of open space, a set of knowledge cafes and completed with a group breathe check-out. You are welcome to browse through some photographs of the event by clicking the thumbnails below.

Below is a video of Phil Cass talking briefly about leading through connectivity:

Leadership UA, a leadership organization in Upper Arlington, hosted their annual leadership panel. As a board member of Leadership UA we are working to do a better job of making these events available to a larger audience. To that effect I have embedded the video from the event below.
