About Conferenza
Conferenza is the leading voice in the world of tech conferences.
Started by Shel Israel and me, the company was orginally a newsletter, and in Jan 2006 we transitioned it to a blog.
I am a partner in Microcast Communications, a new media company. Clients include Google, Oracle, Cisco, HP, and Verizon Wireless.
Background includes:
. Editorial director of Interactive Week, Network Computing, Yahoo! Internet Life, and Smart Reseller magazines.
. Founding editorial director, Ziff Davis Custom Events.
. Contributing Editor, CIO Insight magazine.
. Chief Operating Officer, Evolve Software.
. VP Marketing, Network Products Corp.
Shel almost needs no introduction, considering the buzz about his new book, co-authored with Robert Scoble, called Naked Conversations. Shel describes himself this way: "I'm a recovering publicist. I used to own a PR agency specializing in tech startups. I was involved in the initial launches of Sun Microsystems, PowerPoint, Filemaker, SoundBlaster, Napster, MapInfo, Virtual Vineyards and quite a few others."
Other contributors include Stowe Boyd (of A Working Model, author of /Message), Sam Perry (now a Reuters Digital Fellow), Richard Brandt (former editor-in-chief of Upside Magazine), and Tom Mandel (poet and tech visionary).
I got your website from the book Full Frontal PR. I was hoping to find a site that i could research upcoming conferences for my client. Since now this site is a blog, is there a parallel site to your old format?
