The twitter hashtag is #sfpcamp and it's slated for October (I think).<br /><br />TjTim Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555595022933420006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4103867207927470531.post-62637553219905519022011-04-06T21:50:31.090-07:002011-04-06T21:50:31.090-07:00Are you the f6804526-60cb-11e0-a455-000bcdcb5194 t...Are you the f6804526-60cb-11e0-a455-000bcdcb5194 that lived over on Anderson Road when I was a kid? Yes, I am surprised you didn't speak up.<br /><br />I agree with both of you. Now that I've had a bit to eat and my blood sugar is back up I can see another part of the equation. As a presenter, if you are relying on your slides to deliver content, you audience will naturally fall into the lecture mode.<br /><br />Perhaps a session where there are no slides and the audience shapes the content with their questions would be more to my expectations. <br /><br />I'll start tilting at the windmill of sfpcamp and see what happens...<br /><br />Thanks both of you for your comments.<br /><br />TjTim Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555595022933420006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4103867207927470531.post-17829213322412010162011-04-06T21:49:53.511-07:002011-04-06T21:49:53.511-07:00SF has a PCamp?SF has a PCamp?Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02312986758541540635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4103867207927470531.post-53662813139599471812011-04-06T21:12:40.044-07:002011-04-06T21:12:40.044-07:00Oh great now I owe you the beer next time I am out...Oh great now I owe you the beer next time I am out there.<br /><br />Seriously, I would agree with you. I wasn't going to visit SVPcamp this year because I saw the same at last year's event. I also saw the same at RMPcamp as well. Why? It came to a couple of (lame) things: room arrangement and muscle memory. When people get in a situation with a speaker and power point it is like they are sitting in front of the boob-tube. They are in reception only mode.<br /><br />I would actually invite you to visit Austin's Pcamp. You'll come away with a different perspective. The exchange of ideas is huge. <br /><br />We'll be trying to do some new things at RMPcamp this year in order to foster the interaction. We'll see if they actually work. Maybe San Francisco's Pcamp will have a different vibe.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955719356259694710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4103867207927470531.post-48922471205032131462011-04-06T21:03:34.218-07:002011-04-06T21:03:34.218-07:00Tim - not that it's an excuse, but I thought t...Tim - not that it's an excuse, but I thought this year's venue was much less encouraging of traditional "unconference" behaviors like audience participation & leaving a session if you aren't getting value. <br /><br />Too crowded and the closed-door rooms really allowed people to relax and let the speaker be the authority. I barely spoke up myself (and if you know me, you KNOW that's unusual).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
