NetCamp Romania
On December 5th I’m invited to join a panel of very respectable people on a conference in Romania. I assume you too are wondering how I got in there, but hey :) Anyone who’s in that area, feel free to ping me.
Netcamp is a premier event featuring a series of presentations and discussions about the global world of internet - its implications, opportunities and risks. We witness a new and interesting context as the online medium offers us more choices, an increasingly personalized living and even more interesting business opportunities. We are just discovering a new world ahead of us - join us for an interesting journey in exploring and learning about ideas, practices, people and trends!
NetCamp is the first event in Romania aiming to explore the new business context and opportunities that we are facing within the internet landscape. My keynote will be called: The Internet Reality Check. I’ll post the powerpoint as soon as I’m back.
This context involves new applications, new consumer behaviors and expectations, new business opportunities and new infrastructure needs - a whole new set of variables opening a new paradigm.
TOPICS
The event will cover different principles related to internet, business development and marketing such as:
• User generated content
• The social web
• Communities
• New economic models
• Blogs and wikis
• New media
• Measurability - audience, traffic, return on investment
• Challenges & Issues
• Best Practice
UPDATE: Presentation Online:

Note: The word FRAM, as used in the presentation, is a term that was coined to me by my colleague Kris, and it means: FRiend spAM.
Note: Even though you can do great stuff with it, I’m no fan of PowerPoints because they make you stick to a structure too much. The keynote was 45 minutes, and a lot more has been said than listed in the presentation. I’ll publish the recording, or link to it, as soon as the NetCamp folks put it online :)
UPDATE 2: Video Impression and ‘Aftertalk’ are online at MicroMiel
