A thank you to everyone to took part in Talk Is Cheap. About 160 communicators attended the event; that's 80% of the number registered. Very impressive!

 

Just a reminder that if you found value in the evening and wanted to indicate your appreciation, consider a donation to the literacy programs of Frontier College at

A QUICK PRIMER TO HELP YOU GET THE MOST OUT OF TALK IS CHEAP

 

1. If you have registered and find you are not able to make the event, it would be helpful if you removed your name from the Registrants list.
2. If you have not registered and are planning to attend, we do not discourage that, but, frankly, it does hamper our ability to ensure we have enough space for sessions and enough food. Registering would be very helpful.
3. In addition to having lots of sessions from which to choose, we hope you will also see this as an opportunity to network. We are hoping to colour-code the name tags so you can identify organizers, presenters and folks who have some social media experience.
4. We are hoping to videotape a few sessions. If you are a podcaster or blogger interested in recording a session, we would appreciate the initiative.
5. if you arrive by car before 6 p.m., you will likely have to find street parking. After 6, you should be able to find parking in the campus lot. The entrance is at the south end of the building off Carlaw.
6. Remember that Talk Is Cheap is an unconference created and driven by the participants. Everything is done by volunteers, which explains why you are able to attend for no cost. Do not expect the polish of a full conference. (If that happens: bonus!). If you see something that needs doing, consider just pitching in and helping us with it. It is that kind of evening.
