#140conf London Update: Attend #140Conf in London on 17 November

When I look at the schedule for the upcoming 140 Characters Conference: Exploring the State of NOW, taking place in London on 17 November, the first word that comes to my mind is diversity.

(speakers subject to change without notice)

One of my goals of creating and producing the #140conf events is to in effect enable what could be best described as: "Social Media Heterosis" (hybrid vigor in the social media space) and cross connect communities which are all using twitter as a platform in their business but would have otherwise have never had any reason to meet each or connect with each other. The upcoming event in London will reflect this thinking.

While twitter is both the language we speak at #140conf and the platform we are using, my goal isn’t to be "just a twitter conference" but rather continue to look at how a diverse group of people are being effected by the emerging NOW Internet and provide a platform for people to listen, learn and connect with the people who were sharing their voices and perspectives, hence the intended intention for diversity.

The take aways from this event will provide the attending delegates knowledge, perspectives and insights to the next wave of effects twitter and the real-time internet will have on business.

Hope to see you in London.

It's not out yet but the trailer of former Gucci designer Tom Ford's directorial debut (an adaption of a Christopher Isherwood book) is the kind of thing that should be set as fashion homework.
