If you’re in the Detroit area, you may have heard some mentions about the 140conf coming here in October. Dave Murray explains a bit more about what it is in this video. And you can get additional information, as it becomes available, on the Detroit 140conf website.

My Hopes & Expectations for FutureMidwest 2010 #fmw10
FutureMidwest starts tomorrow (although there are a lot of great events happening all week):
FutureMidwest is the region’s largest two-day technology and knowledge conference taking place in Royal Oak, Mich. April 16 – 17, 2010. Founded by Adrian Pittman, Jordan Wolfe and Zach Lipson, FutureMidwest is the fusion of two successful conferences held in Michigan in 2009 – the Module Midwest Digital Conference and TechNow.
I’ve been to a lot of conferences – some great – some not so much. And the bar is set really high for my expectations of this weekend. I know I will meet a lot of great people and do some valuable networking. I’m sure there will be some great conversations and this event is part of our energized rebuilding of Detroit & Michigan. But my hopes – for better or worse – are for even higher levels of achievement.

Thoughts on Togetherness from #TedXDetroit
Yesterday I attended the first ever TedXDetroit, which is an independently organized TED event. TED, which stands for technology entertainment design, is an invitation-only event which brings together the top thinkers and leaders in those fields to share ideas. (If you’ve never heard of TED, you really should take a look at their website because you can access presentations from the events.) By bringing together thinkers and leaders from different fields, everyone benefits by meeting new people and hearing new perspectives and thoughts. TedXDetroit was no different and it was the highest caliber event I’ve ever attended in the area (rivaling events on the coast in my opinion).
