Cynthia Ware from The Digital Sanctuary grabbed me for an interview while at Idea Camp. I’m always getting asked, “I see you attached to so many different project, what exactly do you do?” The next time I get asked I think I’m just going to send this link to them. Thanks Cynthia!

As far as Post Idea Camp thoughts..

I feel very fortunate to meet, hang out with and develop relationships with attendees and speakers alike. Idea Camp is definitely the kind of conference I’d like to be a part of again.

I personally really enjoyed the session I got to facilitate (How to Tell Your Story through New Media – and Save Money), it was a room of about 25 sharp people. With questions ready, we railed through some serious real world issues on how to make media work in the context of church and business. It was a great exchange of solutions and opinions about what other media directors, developers and filmmakers were using to make their lives easier.

Here’s a couple solutions and recommendations from the session:

WordPress – It’s CMS (Content Management System) a blog tool and pretty much anything else you can imagine. I think it’s a great foundation to a digital presence. (it’s also free)

Twitter – It’s such the buzzword right now. If you AND you’re organization aren’t on Twitter – you should change that. Caution: Please don’t launch a campaign to tell everyone how cool your organization is. Think of it as a segue to talk to a crowd of people.. what would your opening line be? Plus, there’s a bunch of additional tools to make twitter do whatever you want it to.

Mobile Cause – I love this! For under 4K a year your non profit has a number to promote for stadium appearances, speaking engagements or talking with small groups. The phone is the future appliance of communication.

Harness low/no cost multimedia tools to accentuate your brand like Vimeo, and Facebook Applications.

I’m looking forward to next year’s Idea Camp. Big thanks to Charles Lee for the opportunity.
