Business Cards

With about 100 people to run into, it’s encouraged and acceptable to exchange cards. If you don’t already have your twitter handle, blog, whatever social on your cards, then hand write it on a short stack. OR print that stuff on some mailing labels and stick it to the back of your cards. Works great, saves time (and is legible!).
(Clarification: If you don’t have all this jazz to add to your card, no problem. We hope to get you IN the conversation and want to share what we know with you)

Cameras – Still & Video

Charge up your cameras, get batteries, and feel free to get creative, document, and share all over the place. Please tag your photos #socialMEM. Add them to the Facebook group, and share them in the Flickr group at http://www.flickr.com/groups/socialcamp Please feel free to upload compressed photos & video during breaks/lunch, but not during the sessions. Presenters and their attendees need bandwidth.

No Streaming

We need all the bandwidth possible. Please do not stream through viewing or broadcasting.  Being at event where you can’t browse a simple webpage, or tweet because of bandwidth congestion problems is the suck. Please don’t stream or transfer huge files.

“Law of Two Feet”

If you find yourself in a presentation and have the urge the leave, the Law of Two Feet totally applies. Quietly exit the room. No worries.  Tweet a tasteful grumble about it first.  Maybe the presenter wants some realtime feedback to adjust their presentation. If you sit through a whole presentation and just  Troll it, you totally missed the Law of Two feet.

Be Comfortable

YOU are SocialCamp. More comfortable in a jacket, wear it. More comfortable in shorts and sandals, wear ‘em.  We have to have some organization, but it’s no Symphony. This “ain’t your grandaddy’s conference”, and the LongTail is alive and well. Please do silence cellphones. Food and Beverages will be available for breakfast, lunch, and snacks.

Everybody wants everybody to have an enjoyable time.  Trolls and mean people will get the boot.
