Heading into ASTD TechKnowledge , there's a particularly timely podcast that I just did for Tom Crawford of VizThink on the topic of: How to be an Insanely Great Conference Attendee If you follow the link you can get to the podcast. The main ideas out of that post still apply. Get Twitterific installed on your iPhone from the AppStore.

Are you going to the eLearningGuild Annual Gathering in Boston? If so, I've got a suggestion. At ASTD TK07 , I was invited by Jim Javenkoski (who created his blog during one of my hands on sessions) to a beer tasting event that he was doing on behalf of Unibroue. Jay Cross , Harold Jarche , Clark Quinn all were able to join me.

One of the more fun things we did in Boston was going out for a beer tasting that was organized by Jim Javenkoski, Learn.com and myself. You can read Jim's write-up Of beer, blogists and Boston.

Here are a few of the things we've been doing Twitter as Social Chat At both DevLearn and TechKnowledge , we created a hashtag and created a specific Twitter account that was the hub. Twitter has become a pretty great tool to help with socializing at conferences. What do I need to cover by what point.

I definitely will post them to my blog.

Continuing what has now become somewhat a tradition (see Beer Tasting at ASTD TechKnowledge , and Boston, Beer - Bloggers - Learn.com ), I plan to informally get together with bloggers at the ASTD conference in Atlanta in June to go have a few beers. I just realized that's less than a month away. We'll do it on June 4th in the evening.

Still when we get together for Beer Tasting at ASTD TechKnowledge , Boston, Beer - Bloggers - Learn.com - it is definitely still feeling like a lot of middle age white guys. I thought that was true in the Edublogger realm as well, but take a look at: Who's Coming to Dinner - Survey Says! Oh, and it's definitely middle aged NOT OLD.

I was pulling together my slides for ASTD TechKnowledge and had planned to do a small group breakout and then have each group contribute to the larger group. The problem here is that this is hardly ever distilled into any sensible points for action. You're generally left feeling short-changed. This is not something I normally do.

This was a great exercise and the fact that I had not considered my big challenges for 2008 made it harder to do my Conference Planning for ASTD TechKnowledge 2008. At the end of 2006, I spent some time thinking about 2007 and wrote a post challenges and predictions for 2007. So, here they are.

Last week at ASTD TechKnowledge , I did a keynote on Work Literacy and eLearning 2.0, an online Q&A Session for the Virtual Conference and a session on using Web 2.0 Tools for eLearning. You can find the handouts for the last session via TK09 Handouts. I thought I'd capture some links and thoughts around these sessions.

I'm on the flight back from ASTD TechKnowledge and thought I should try to capture some initial thoughts from the conference and sessions while it was still fresh and before life clouds my memory. I did two sessions and face time at the conference. I also had some really good lunch conversations.

Last week I presented a session at ASTD TechKnowledge entitled eLearning 2.0 - Applications and Implications. It could just as easily have been called Web 2.0 Applications in Learning. It was designed to be a small to medium size group discussion, but because the room was large it was very challenging to do that successfully.

Online Conference Associated with Major In-Person Conferences It was interesting to see that ASTD TechKnowledge offer an online conference. And I think there's a fairly substantial implication for workplace learning organizations. The experience sounds like it was okay ( TK 09 Virtual Experience ). They opened that up late in the process.

In Las Vegas (at ASTD TechKnowledge), I met up with bloggers who I really only knew online. Thanks to the tools y'all are building, we now have more far-flung friends--including people we've never met f2f--than ever before. We now have more people we want to connect with in the human world, often after years of electronic-only contact.
