WEEK 2 - COMMENT RESPONSE 1

WK 2 Publish Project Part 1 of 3- The search is on

Is this the one? That's what I keep asking myself. I was pretty sure that this conference would be the perfect one to submit my proposal to, but somehow I got cold feet when Joe mentioned, ever so casually, that whatever conference we submitted to, we should be ready to do it, because they would probably accept the proposal. Hmm...I guess this means the conference is definitely outside of my comfort zone! So, as usual when I have to make a decision like this, I am thinking in terms of up-side and down-side to making the presentation at this conference. On the + side ( and this is huge) my partner in crime, Coleen Elmers, said she is willing to co-present with me at this conference. + The date is far enough off that I would have the luxury of time to prepare. + The location is great; I love seeing new places, and I hear SF is a very interesting town. + My presentation would meet the "e-Learning case study" criteria. On the minus side, I would feel more at home among nurses. - Even though I think what we did was really cool, people attending a tech conference are probably way ahead of me on this.
Has anyone been to this conference? I'd love to know what it is like, how the people are, etc.

I think it would be awesome for you and Coleen to co present at the conference. It would be a great experience for the both of you, and not to mention the exposure. Conventions are always good to network and meet new people, you never know who it may be, and how they can help and influence your path.

  1. That's and interesting thought Ben. Work has been a case of just slogging along lately. Maybe doing this would create the possibility for change.
