NYC Event: The ‘140 Character Conference’
Calling all Twitter fans!!
Jeff Pulver, American Internet entrepreneur known for his work as founder and Chief Executive of pulver.com, has designed a 2-day conference, ‘The 140 Characters Conference’ to explore the ‘effects of Twitter’ on celebrities, the media, advertising, lifestyles and politics.
To honor the 140-character theme, it will be unique and
straight forward. The whole conference
will hold brief individual talk sessions in 5/7/10 minute increments creating a
platform with lots of engagement and interaction. This conference will definitely be distinct
from past events! A conference built on
a new way of communicating and completely built around this Twitter framework
is innovative and simply LUX. 
People from all over the world will be in attendance and the one bond they share is this Twitter obsession!! Some notable speakers include: Jeff Keni Pulver (The State of Now), Jack Dorsey (Co-founder & Chairman, Twitter), Tim O’Reilly (Founder & CEP, O’Reilly Media), David Saranga (Consul for Media and Public Affairs at the Israeli Consulate in New York), John A Byrne (Editor in Chief, BusinessWeek.com), Jeffrey Hayzlett (Chief Marketing Officer, Kodak), Bernard Desarnauts (SVP International & GM Europe, Glam Media) and James Gross (Vice President, Federated Media).
“The people who are there, they’re not tech heads really, they’re just regular people,” said Mr. Pulver, the founder of the company that became Vonage, self-described “futurist,” and orchestrator of the event. –via
