This week we’ll be up north on Mackinac Island for the League’s annual convention. The team at the League has put together an outstanding agenda and keynote speakers that are sure to inspire you. We are certain you’ll be able to take these “tools” back to your communities and incorporate many of the great placemaking ideas discussed.
One of the best parts of the convention for me, is the ability to network with local officials from around the state. We also focus on spreading the League’s mission, “The one clear voice for Michigan communities”, by utilizing our technological footprint to spread information, via Facebook, Twitter (our hashtag for convention is #mmlconv) and our numerous blogs. Make sure to visit http://convention.mml.org.
We also have a special convention smartphone app for Androids and iPhones. This free download will give you the agenda, blogs, social media feeds and all sorts of convention information right in the palm of your hand.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss innovative ideas to utilize social networking to enhance civic engagement, and cloud computing to support community operations, make sure you come visit me in the In•KNOW•vate technology hub. I’ll be there from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm on Thursday, October 4th. I’ll be able to demonstrate and walk you through your technology-related questions. I hope to see you there.
