Custom Media Day a Wonderful Success

Hubspot's Mike Volpe speaking at Custom Media Day

It was a pleasure to have been invited to speak at Custom Media Day in Manhattan last week. I met a whole host of wonderful people and enjoyed the presentations covering everything from digital magazine publishing to social media experimentation.

The Custom Publishing Council did a great job in summarizing the day’s events on their blog — so in an effort to add valuable content, I thought I should deliver on some of the requests I received after speaking.

Prezi is fun!

As many of you know, I used Prezi to create my presentation. I really love new technology, and Prezi is one of the most wonderful tools I’ve come along in my web surfing. I have been using Prezi for about four or five months now, and there are certainly some tricks to it. After the response from my last few audiences, I think it might be worth offering a half-day seminar on how to create and present a Prezi presentation. If you’re interested, please let me know. I’ve created a poll at PollDaddy.com and posted it here to solicit some feedback and gauge interest.

The presentation re-broadcast

We do a live broadcast here at Tippingpoint Labs every Tuesday called Lunch & Learn. I will be giving the same presentation again this Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at noon (Eastern). [Rescheduled to June 30 at noon EDT.] I invite you all to tune in. Invite friends or co-workers if you’d like. You can tune in at tippingpointlabs.tv/live. I’m really excited to use technology like live streaming video to help communicate with all of you.

Presentation shared

I’ve been asked to share the Prezi presentation with all of you. Feel free to refer to it or use it for your presentation needs. I’d love to hear how you’re using it. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about the presentation.

Here’s the presentation:
