Joe Flowers of the National Association of Dental Plans has a MUST READ post up: Why I won’t renew with ASAE in 2011. I was going to excerpt from some of the many comments – both pro- and con- association membership – but I think it’s worth reading the whole conversation. ASAE, what are you going to do about it?

Don’t ever worry about lack of comments. They are still reading and sharing even if not commenting. Post videos, images, long essay-like posts, short list posts (ahem), link love posts, interviews, case studies, deconstruct a Twitter conversation, try a podcast or live blog an event. Pay attention to what resonates.

First, this nice slide deck – with audio – from Chris Carfi: An Ant’s Eye View of SXSW 2011. Next, a really interesting article from the Guardian, about a key theme, the blurring of boundaries between online and in real life: SXSW 2011: The internet is over. Please share your experience in the comments!

Holly Ross, Exceutive Director of NTEN, just left me this comment / question on my recent Mojo post (yes I am still getting comments – holy smokes!). One question regarding general session speakers. I’ve been thinking for the last couple of years about their purpose, and if we need them at all.

I recently read a post on the Midcourse Corrections Blog authored by Jeff Hurt titled Virtual Event Strategies for 2011. In speaking to our Event Production Team this week, they told me 90 % of clients do not open their Q & A or chat areas for attendees so they can view each other’s comments. Thank you to Rich for this guest post.
