It is that time of year again, and the New Orleans bloggers are laying the ground work for a third annual conference on the recovery of the post-Federal Flood city. The tentative date is August 23. The venue and program are in development and will be announced as they take final shape. The preliminary plan is for a Friday night social/registration event, a day-long conference on Saturday and a volunteer activity on Sunday.
Watch this space for more information.
The risingtidenola.com web site was both registered to and administered by the late Ashley Morris but we hope to straighten that out soon. I have registered risingtidenola.org and risingtidenola.net just in case.

The Rising Tide Conference is an annual gathering for all who wish to learn more and do more to assist New Orleans' recovery. Leveraging the power of bloggers and new media, the conference is a launch pad for organization and action. Our day-long program of speakers and presentations is tailored to inform, entertain, enrage and inspire.
Hooray. Looking forward to it. Penciling in the tentative date now.
ReplyDeleteThe date is not tentative. It is now carved in stone.
ReplyDeleteIt is the only thing we know for sure.
I would like to suggest Joel Kotkin as a possible speaker.
