Some Upcoming Speaking Events

Say That Again

from the come-out-and-chat dept

Thu, Jan 7th 2010 7:35pm — Mike Masnick

A quick note on three upcoming events at which I'll be speaking:

Tuesday, January 12th, I'm on a panel at the first ever World Fair Use Day in Washington, DC. The event is being put on by the folks at Public Knowledge and should be a lot of fun. For those attending or in the area, you should also check out the Fair Use Film Screening the night before, where they'll be showing clips from Brett Gaylor's RIP: A Remix Manifesto and Kembrew McLeod's Copyright Criminals
Friday, January 15th, I'll be on a Churchill Club panel on Journalism After Print. That's in Palo Alto, California.
Sunday, January 24th, I'll be running a special brainstorming workshop on new music business models at Midem in Cannes, France, which is where I did the big Trent Reznor case study last year.

If you'll be attending any of these events, please let me know!

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

"DO NOT SHOW UP UNLESS YOU PLAN TO TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF."
Something tells me I need to contact "Improv Everywhere" for a few important missions. You'll be wearing your brown coat again, right?

I might try to make it to the Churchill Club. The site says it's sold out but some tix may be available at the door. Anyone have an extra ticket?

Any chance you are coming to Austin for SXSW?

I have a question...
Why do you hate the Midwest so much?

That's quite the tour - D.C. to Californey to France? Can we say jet lag? Eek!

I'm in D.C., but as cool as this sounds, I've got doctor appointments I've been waiting more than a month for.
Good luck and have fun!

Mike,

Be sure to shine your shoes. This constantly ranks in the top five factors audiences look at while trying to determine if the person is reputable.

And please, no Aldo Bellini shoes this time, please. I know you like it, but just no.

I was, but unfortunately I had to bail out on SXSW due to some other commitments. Really wanted to go too, but not this year.
