Virtual Communities Conference Cancelled
Notice something missing on this page? Virtual Communities Conference. The 2005 conference scheduled for November has been cancelled. I'm totally bummed. I was using it as an excuse to go to London and see many of my online friends. (I was a speaker.) I got the email today telling me it was cancelled for lack of registrations at 6 weeks out. I reflected that this was the last of the "online community" conferences that I knew of, and it just died. Plotzed! Kaput!
It is ironic, because I've seen a healthy resurgence of interest in and use of online groups and communities, but in a sense quite different from the scene which sprouted all these conferences in the first place. The field has matured in very interesting ways.
Now, where are we practioners going to gather? Should we create a conference? I'll help organize one here in Seattle. Anyone want to help? Sponsors? We need a place to come together. Seriously.

You schedule it for Seattle, anytime except the middle of winter when I will freeze, and I will attend.
I'm sorry you aren't heading to London this spring. Very disappointing.
