New Orleans Hosts Successful WordCamp Event
On Friday April 10, 2009 and Saturday April 11, 2009, the Hotel LeCirque in New Orleans, Louisiana was the host to WordCamp NOLA 2009. The speakers presented to a sold out crowd of Internet platform and social media enthusiasts.
The event included presentations and panels on social media advertising strategies, the impact of social media on traditional news media, using Wordpress tools for blogging, and even advice from a millennial blogger on connecting with a younger audience.
The audience seemed interested and attentive, and the volume of tweets to #wordcampNOLA was enormous. Hopefully, the WordCamp NOLA event will be repeated next year. More information can be found at the WordCamp NOLA website.
