Community Leadership Town Hall – Tulsa Techfest
October 6th, 2011 6 – 10 PM – OSU Room NH150
We had a great turnout at last years Town Hall and this year we are doing it again. There was a lot of great participation and discussion regarding common issues we all experience as community leaders. This is a great forum for getting input from other community leaders.
What is a Community Leadership Town Hall?
In many towns and cities across the country the town hall is the center of the community. The town hall is where the local governments keep offices, serves as the main base for the Mayor, and is where citizens of the community come to work with the official representatives to share issues, ideas, and solutions that can make their community better.
The Community Leadership Town Hall brings this concept to community leaders in your area. The evening will be filled with discussions about issues, ideas, and solutions regarding creating, maintaining, and growing user groups and technical communities. This will be a highly interactive night where everyone will have a chance to suggest a topic and voice their opinion.
Bring your questions, ideas, issues, and willingness to share to the Houston Community Leadership Town Hall.
This is a free event! Please join us.

There was an awesome turnout for the Community Leadership Town Hall #3 during the Dallas Techfest. There were about 35 folks in attendance, which lead to a lively discussions on several very awesome questions from the user group leader community.
Some of the discussions lead to a list of sites that of were to interest so I wanted to make sure I made them available.

I want to thank our sponsors for helping make this event possible:
[UPDATE] This event was canceled to be rescheduled at a later date. Poor planning on my part since I picked the day before Mother’s Day to hold an event. What was I thinking? I am looking for new dates and will post when it is set.
I am happy to announce Community Camp Northwest Arkansas to be held May 8th, 2010 in Springdale, AR. I am currently working on the website and taking suggestions on topics.
I want the attendees to build the schedule so if you are planning attending and have a topic you would like to learn or share please email me at jay@jaysmith.us. I plan to be sending out a session survey to let the registered attendees vote on what sessions out of the proposed they would like to have at the event. This way you have complete control over what is discussed at the event and will allow you to maximize your time. If we still have open slots the day of the event we will fill them during the open session.
I am also looking for sponsors for the event, if you are interested in sponsoring Community Camp Northwest Arkansas or future Community Camps in other areas please contact me directly.
I am also working on getting a keynote speaker for the event who can speak about trends and best practices for community.
