#ThinkUpMtl 2 - June 21st

It’s that time again!

We have scheduled #ThinkUpMtl 2 for June 21st at Kai Design Studio.

Since this is the first #ThinkUpMtl and we are still growing our community we have decided to propose some topics in advance, but please feel free to suggest a few.

  • The Future of Social Bookmarking
  • Initiating and Sustaining Online Discussions 
  • Members vs. Subscribers

If you have any suggestions for other topics or you feel the above are not up to par let us know on our Facebook page.

The event is free, but there is a limited number of seats available, so only register if you are definitely showing up!

REGISTER HERE

As an added bonus I hear the guys at KAI are great bartenders and they have a few special drinks planned for us (It is a pay bar, the drinks will be around 3$ - not bad).

So get your thinking caps and I hope to see you all there!

Who’s ready for another #ThinkUpMtl?

ThinkUpMtl 1

With the recent success of our first #ThinkUpMtl it’s time to start planning for the June edition.

That being said, we want to hear from you!

If you attended the first edition of #ThinkUpMtl we would like to know what you thought - the pros and the cons? What we can do better or different?

Also, please feel free to suggest some topics and drink ideas to the Kai bartenders :)

Let’s get our thinking caps on.

#ThinkUpMtl May edition is around the corner - what shall we ThinkUp?

When ThinkUpMtl was initialy incarnated the idea was to let the community choose the topics to be discussed/debated at our monthly meetups. This is still the case. However, being that ThinkUpMtl is still in its infancy, a lot people still don’t really get what it’s all about! Me too :) but that is what makes this whole adventure fun and worth experiencing.

I had the following topics down as potential candidates for the inaugural ThinkUpMtl just to get the juices flowing:

  • Facebook vs. Instagram - the Future of Social Media Sharing Apps
  • The Mythology of Social Influence
  • Understanding Motivation in Online Communities

We are less than 2 weeks away with an almost full house so I decided to ask the question once again - what should we discuss/debate at OUR first edition?

What You Can Learn About Blogging From Going Paleo

I came across this post by via @DannyBrown on Twitter “What You Can Learn About Blogging From Going Paleo”. It’s a great read and made me think about re-evaluating the way I blog. This could be a great topic for the first ThinkUp.

What are your thoughts?

What is ThinkUP?

First, let me introduce myself -

My name is Brendan Sera-Shriar a.k.a. digibomb.

I’m a WordPress designer, developer, and blogger, social addict, techy, father, community manager and builder, toy geek, collector of many things, and published author from Montreal, Canada.

OK, back to the point of this post, what is ThinkUp? There are many meetups, I know ‘cause I attend a good majority of them and even organize a few :) For a while now I’ve thought about putting together a social gathering of sorts where professionals, students, enthusiast, and just those interested in learning and thinking about community both online and offline can come together and share their knowledge, experiences, and ideas.

The idea is simple - come drink, chat, learn, and think in a casual setting. The structure would be an open forum, kind of like a demo camp or ignite, but no slides - I envision something more like a round table where we discuss and debate openly - we ThinkUp!

If this is something you’re interested in and you live in the Montreal area let me know. I’m in the process of organizing the first ThinkUp in Montreal so all feedback, suggestions, and ideas are welcome.

I’ll use this blog as a way to post information about upcoming ThinkUp’s and to recap each one. I also see this as a shared space where we can ThinkUp (yes I know , stop branding :) ) anything we want.

So, let’s do this!
