Over the past few years, the MLA annual meeting has utilized an increasing number of online social networking tools to help participants interact with both one another and with meeting content. In the spirit of this year’s theme of “Reflect and Connect,” the annual meeting website features the Conference Community at http://bit.ly/mla2010. The primary goal of the Conference Community is to enable connections and communication among in-person and virtual attendees.

The Conference Community is an online portal which aggregates multiple communication “channels” and “backchannels,” providing opportunities for attendees to explore and play with various emerging technologies before, during and after of the meeting. It is also primary location for meeting content, such as videos recorded by members and materials provided by the keynote presenter, Daniel Pink.

Get CONNECTED before the MLA Annual Meeting

By Administrator. Published on March 11, 2010 in the Chronicle. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

The MLA ’10 National Program Committee has set up a network in CrowdVine for MLA members to connect with other participants at MLA’s Annual Meeting and Exhibition, Reflect & Connect in Washington, D.C. May 21-26, 2010.  CrowdVine is a simple and powerful social network tool customized for MLA ’10 that helps participants to interact before, during, and after the conference.  After registering with Crowdvine, <http://mla10.crowdvine.com/>, set up a profile including your photo, affiliations, interests, and topics of interest. Members can also incorporate RSS feeds from another blog, photo stream, or social bookmarking site. There is a discussion wall for all participants, or you can send private messages to registered colleagues.  The real power of the service is its ability to identify participants who share common interests so that they can seek out and meet, in person, at the conference.

Keep your eyes on the MLA 2010 Annual Meeting and Exhibition site <http://www.mlanet.org/am/am2010/> and the official MLA’10 Blog <http://npc.mlanet.org/mla10/> for updates as the conference nears. Watch for information on the all new Conference Community that will enable all of us to connect before, during and after the meeting as well as to share more
of the meeting content.
