Conference Hound-Up May 17, 2012: These Pretzels Are Making Me Thirsty
It’s beautiful outside! Stop staring at the computer and go for a hike. When you’re done here, of course. San Francisco is providing us with two summits designed to offer guidance and tips for those folks with the weight of an entire company on their shoulders. If this describes you, the Chief Strategy Officer Summit [...]
Conference Hound-Up May 16, 2012: A Refreshing Digital Smoothie
Welcome to the middle of the week, where most of the awesome stuff happens. Oh wait, I was thinking of the weekend. Nevermind. Anyway, there’s at least a few cool things kicking off with us this Wednesday, not the least of which is one of the biggest and most widely respected film festivals in the [...]
Conference Hound-Up May 11-13, 2012: Now Optimized For Life
Some big news coming to you via the Hound-Up today. For starters; we’re not all going to die imminently. Eventually, yeah… sorry. But in the meantime, you can enjoy some fun and fuzzy events and maybe even pick up some new toys to help you extract every little ounce of joy out of your weekend. [...]
Conference Hound-Up May 8, 2012: Is It Hot In Here Or Is It Just The Dinosaurs?
We live in exciting times. If you don’t believe me, just take a look at all the neat stuff packed into this post and try to keep yourself from getting all giddy. With folks like Richard Branson and the gang behind Planetary Resources, Inc. planning and executing commercially driven adventures into Earth’s orbit, outer space [...]
Conference Hound-Up May 4-6, 2012: I Will Avenge Your Weekend
I’ve got plenty for you to do this weekend, if you aren’t too busy watching The Avengers over and over. It’s fine if you are, just remember: this is time you will never get back. If watching this film happens to produce the same chill one experiences when a ghost passes through them, you can [...]
Conference Hound-Up May 1, 2012: Give A Girl A Break
Today we’ll explore a bit of business and marketing combined with some gamification and a touch of the superlunal. Since I put that on the internet, it’s now a word. This will all be explained by the end of the Hound-Up, I swear. SCI-FI LONDON is a major genre event for the United Kingdom, boasting [...]
Conference Hound-Up April 27, 2012: Don’t Be Such A Square
Happy Friday, Hounds. The event world is ripe with opportunities to embrace your inner nerd this weekend, or if you prefer, drink a bunch of beer and run a marathon. Don’t worry, Beerfest is finally here. The Edmonton International Beerfest, that is. This Canadian beer celebration boasts more than 200 brews and 40,000 square feet [...]
Conference Hound-Up April 25, 2012: At Least The Asteroids Will Kill The Snakes
It’s DNA Day. Celebrate it the old fashioned way by exchanging vials of blood with your loved ones and creating double-helix sculptures out of pipe cleaners. Also, get out there and enrich yourself! Science shows that the best thing for your DNA is attending a conference. There’s an innovation twofer at the Hotel Kabuki in [...]
Conference Hound-Up April 19, 2012: Can You Read This From Space?
Independent films invade San Francisco. New York is covered in the Cloud. Trucks are taking over Canada. The penguins are building an army. Beware the implications of today’s Hound-Up. Crowdfunding is skyrocketing in popularity, and with good reason. It just seems like one of those things that the internet was invented to provide. So many [...]
Conference Hound-Up April 18, 2012: The Freshest Events Fit For A Ninja
We’re casting a wide net today. If this were a fishing boat, we’d be pulling up lobster, salmon, trout, killer whales, giant squid and a couple of Nessies. Since this is not a fishing boat, and instead an event discovery platform (and a great one at that), we’re gonna serve up some film, food, wine, [...]
