Westwood resident Debra Eckerling is co-producing the #140 conf this Monday, November 14 in Westwood. The event is a celebration of the Twitter culture and community.
With both name and format inspired by the brevity of Twitter, the #140conf schedule is fast-paced. Influencers in the areas of technology, lifestyle, health, art, mindfulness, and more will take the stage.
#140conf founder and internet pioneer Jeff Keni Pulver has held #140conf events worldwide since 2009. Pulver’s brainchild provides a platform for people to listen, learn, and most of all, create relationships that inspire positive change.
Dubbed “The State of Now,” the conference underscores a commitment to exploring how the “real-time web” affects business and personal lives.
“Taking the time to listen to people who have a story to share that can resonate with you, that’s priceless,” Pulver said. “At the end of the day, it’s about community.”
Speakers include award-winning poet and author J. Ivy, The Sonnet Man Devon Glover, Youngry founder Ash Kumra, Techwalla Editor-in-Chief Dave Johnson, The Fit Cycle’s Andia Winslow, and authors Chandresh Bhardwaj, Marsha Collier, Robert Rosenthal, Amy Friedman, and Liz Strauss.
