Brisbane Twestival 2009
I’m working with a team of Brisbane Twitter users to bring you our branch of Twestival, the international Twitter Festival raising funds for Charity:Water.
The event is set for February 12th, a day after Pecha Kucha, a day prior to Friday 13th and two days prior to Valentine’s Day. We are currently working on confirming the venue and also scoring some winner entertainment. If you’re an entertainer, artist or other individual-of-groove, let me know and we might just have a place for you on the night.
My main role on the committee is to seek sponsorship of the event, whether it be funds, services or products. If you are a proud Twitter user, I would be so humble as to ask for donations to the cause. Please note that Twitter members organising the event are all volunteers; we’re not pocketing any of the cash as 100% of funds from Twestival will go to Charity:Water.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Brisbane Twestival 2009 site!

I’m fascinated that you guys can pull together an event like this with no concerns that it will or won’t work, with no time at all to prepare let alone lead time. In professional practice I tried pulling together a seminar and it took eight months and two resignations before someone actually managed to not have a seminar.
I think there’s something in that for all of us.
