Last night, I headed up to the third floor of the Union for the M-PAW meeting, and I left feeling charged. M-PAW is the central planning team for the 2012 MBLGTACC at U of M. We covered the things you expect to cover at the first meeting for a conference that we have never hosted, until Mitch suggested that we share our visions. He said that we should just say what we think about when we think of the conference. Mitch's vision was of himself standing with a clipboard, directing people. My vision was of 2000 people who physically come together, although they have been digitally connected since the end of the 2011 conference.
My vision for the conference is visibility and transparency. I see the CPT blogging about what they are doing to prepare the conference. I see vlogs, blogs, tweets, texts, promotion videos, and photo streams. I see web cams and live blogs, revolutionary workshops, and youtube celebrities. I see digital maps, iphone friendly websites, and intuitively found information. I see the
conference as an opportunity to use the cool technology that has been created.
So, yeah. I see a lot of things. In anticipation of Wisconsin's conference, I present to you, their website!
