An Update on the Online Community Unconference 2013 #OCU2013

I wanted to provide a quick update regarding the Online Community Unconference that we are putting together in Mountain View on May 21. It has been an amazing experience to reconvene the “community of community managers” that were first brought together during the period Forum One hosted these events, and inspiring to see the new members of the community: both practitioners and organizations that are embracing the art and science of building and sustaining online communities.

We are currently just shy of 100 registrants, with a target of 200. We have an amazing group of organizations and industry experts registered, including leaders from:

• Answers.com
• Autodesk
• Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
• Brandle
• Ebay
• George Lucas Education Foundation
• Google
• Intuit
• Lithium
• Mozilla
• Netbase
• Ning
• Salesforce.com
• SAP
• WestEd
• Wikia

and many more.

We will also be joined by independent practitioners, industry analysts and authors that are deeply invested in and knowledgable about the community space, including:

• Deb Schulz
• Jeremiah Owyang
• Heather Gold
• Shel Israel

The OCU is shaping up to be a fantastic day of learning, sharing and networking. If you haven’t had a chance to register, you can find more info here:

I hope to see you all on May 21st at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View!
