Event Camp Europe took place less than one week ago and for me the experience of co-organizing it continues to offer great lessons.  One is how the commitment to experimentation has made all Event Camps so useful to the progress of our industry.

The event that was born from the Twitter community #eventprofs will cross the pond September 9 with Event Camp Europe and, full disclosure, I am one of the organizers behind it. Chalk it up to one more weird and wonderful way social media has allowed me to do things I would never have thought of doing.

It will be the second such conference organized by EventCamp founders Christina Coster, Jessica Levin, Mike McAllen, Jeff Hurt and Mike McCurry.  But it will be the fourth EventCamp ever held. 

I've been a fan of The Meetings Podcast ever since I discovered it more than a year ago through Twitter.  The podcast is a weekly interview that Mike McAllen of Grass Shack Events & Media does with interesting folks in the events industry.

I attended Event Camp East Coast Nov. 12 & 13 in Philadelphia, an unconference for events professionals born from the Twitter community #eventprofs. ECEC was the third Event Camp. Like the previous two, it offered a wonderful opportunity to connect with online #eventprofs friends and the content focused on innovation for events. But at ECEC,  the innovation focus wasn't on technology. It was on the conference format itself. Here are some things I learned.

Event Camp East Coast took place Nov. 12 & 13 in Philadelphia and I was extremely fortunate to have attended it. Here are a few pictures I took at this excellent event.

I've been looking for a way to combine my passion for improv with my love of events for sometime. But as is usual with me, I have a hard time owning and acting on things I really feel passionate about. That's my fear of failure kicking in.
