We are proud to announce our 2010 Keynote Speaker, Tim DuRoche.

In his keynote, Tim will explore the role of culture as a springboard for reciprocity, mutual understanding and global citizenship.
Tim is currently the Director of Programs at the World Affairs Council of Oregon and was the Community Programs Manager at Portland Center Stage for four years. While at PCS, he focused on animating the various spaces of the Gerding Theater at the Armory and connecting the community to the work of PCS through community programs, partnerships and outreach that amplify the “four pillars” of sustainability, historic preservation, community and art/theater.

My Month as a Russian Facebook Spy
Venue Address: 1875 SE Belmont Street
RSVP for this event
(RSVPing is helpful to us, but not mandatory.)
Love it or tolerate it, social networking has become a constant in most of our lives. We catch up with friends, meet new people, and network in our respective industries. But what if you had the opportunity to be someone else… say, a Russian Spy. Would you take it?
On June 27, 2010 Anna Chapman -a woman who shares my name- and 9 of her Russian cohorts were found in the US, arrested, and deported back to Russia. On July 2nd my Facebook page became Anna’s portal to the world of social media. Come join me to find out just how my month was spent as the Russian Facebook spy. I want to share my story and talk about this crazy thing we call social media.
Following-up in the age of social media
Venue Address: 928 Southeast 9th Avenue
RSVP for this event
(RSVPing is helpful to us, but not mandatory.)
The focus of this conversation is on how to become better at following up using social media and other mediums of communication, in order to improve the reciprocity of your communication. Because social media has amped up our ability to communicated through a wide variety of mediums, one of the challenges involves dealing with information overload and how to meaningfully follow-up with people that we are connected to.
My goal is that all of us will contribute ideas on how we can meaningfully follow-up with people in our lives, as well as examine what reciprocity really means in the age of social media.
This discussion is being organized by Taylor Ellwood, who put together last year’s very interesting Social Media Etiquette discussion.

Exciting Strengths: Transform Situations From the Inside Out
Venue Address: 215 SE Morrison St. Portland Storage Building
In 2007 Alex Linsker walked up to strangers in New York City’s Union Square Park and said, “I’ll give you $5 if in five minutes or less we can’t figure out what to do about an upcoming situation you aren’t looking forward to.” It didn’t cost him too much to develop a set of questions. [...]
Performing Intimacy: The Photographic Portrait in the Digital Age
Venue Address: 1632 SE 10th Avenue
Photography has always offered rich opportunities for people and their cameras to come together and explore notions of authenticity, intimacy and boundaries. But how does the social world of photographic portraiture evolve when the image and the interpersonal relationships behind it are bound to networks and driven by data? Join artist, educator and creative director Erik Palmer and investigate the past, present and future of the photograph as a social practice. Do you make, use, or actively read photographic portraits around you? Propose an image for further discussion @vicoimages, then join the live conversation at Newspace.
Engaging Audiences: Building Community to Grow Business
Venue Address: 1551 SE Poplar Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97214
RSVP for this event. Doors open at 5:15pm.
(RSVPing is helpful to us, but not mandatory.)
Let’s talk about placing your audience at the center of your business model. Libby Tucker, business reporter at The Columbian newspaper, and Erin McGovney, Portland Realtor, face a challenge that many of us can relate to: how to satisfy business goals while finding, and making meaning for their audience. Each endeavors to address this challenge by building relationships first and allowing their business goals to become satisfied as a result of the engagement. However, Libby and Erin are going about it in different and interesting ways, using methods and tools that suit their respective industries.
