3 things to know about Acronym and the Annual Meeting

Believe it or not, ASAE & The Center's 2010 Annual Meeting & Expo in Los Angeles is less than 50 days away. Of course, we hope you're planning to attend (in person or virtually), but even if you're not, stay tuned to Acronym during the next two months. Before the meeting, we'll highlight speakers and share tips for making the most of a conference; during and shortly after the meeting, we'll capture and share knowledge from on site.

Throughout, Acronym's Annual Meeting coverage will be brought to you by the number three:

  1. Three tips, three questions, three must-dos--whatever the case may be, you can expect three of each in our posts related to the Annual Meeting. The number three has no special significance in relation to the conference; we just like it as a nice, round number. Three will also help us keep things short and simple here during the meeting. We know the information coming out of the Annual Meeting is like a fire hose, so we hope posts with three short thoughts will break that flow into some manageable gulps.
  2. We're looking for guest bloggers--and you'd only need to write one post. Anyone is eligible, and no prior blogging experience is necessary. If you have an idea or want to share your experience from the meeting, we'd welcome your contribution. Think in terms of three. In the first comment to this post is a list of potential ideas with a "three" theme, just to get your mind rolling. If you're interested in contributing, email us at acronym@asaecenter.org.
  3. Find more knowledge at the Hub. Acronym is just one part of the conversation at the Annual Meeting. This year's meeting will again feature the "Hub," a central online location to find info and knowledge being shared at the Annual Meeting, whether it be from Twitter, Flickr, blogs, Daily Now (the onsite newspaper), and more. Find the Hub at http://asae10.org on your desktop or http://asae10.org/m/ on your mobile device. Bookmark it now and check back as the conversation grows before and during the conference.

Scott, Lisa, and I already have some three-themed posts in the works, which you'll see here soon. Feel free to offer more ideas or let us know in the comments what you'd like to see here on Acronym from the Annual Meeting. Thanks!
