Are you going to TribeCon 2009? If you’re into community, meeting awesome people, learning how technology can actually bring us all together all in conjunction with the Voodoo Experience, then come to New Orleans this Halloween weekend.

I’ll be speaking on a panel with Taylor Davidson and Shannon Lane about how to use online and offline to benefit you professionally and personally. We’re also going to talk about being “digital nomads” and what that means, and how we use the social web.

Other speakers include:
Tara Hunt
Micah Baldwin
Eric Marcoullier
Tom Martin
Brian Oberkirch
Ted Rheingold

TribeCon asked me to do a video about Why Community Matters to me and the video above is my response. I have a special discount code for registration – if you’re interested – email me and I’ll pass it along!

Hope to see you in New Orleans!

    Great talk, Sloane! Thanks for making and posting this video. I especially like the part about the good things that can happen when you finally get to meet your on-line connections face-to-face.

    Looking forward to hearing your talk at TribeCon. (And meeting everyone else who has worked so hard on this conference!)

    Thanks so much for this post Sloane. Can’t wait to celebrate your birthday with you on Monday. (and sock it to Malaria along the way)

    Got this on the YouTube channel now. You’re truly going to be a wonderful addition to TribeCon.

    Thanks Chris – I’m excited about both trips to New Orleans this fall. But especially TribeCon because I really believe in this conference and am honored to be a part of it.
