From the archive for historical record (and to recall the efforts of me and my marketing/community/international teams at Hootsuite) – of course, i no longer work at/with the company and this is not official in any way – was once part of the public internet. #AlwaysBeArchiving

With winter just around the corner, hockey season starting up and snow falling in the mountains above HootSuite HQ, we find our speaking Owls knee deep in HootSuite events.

In the last Event Round-up, we were in San Francisco, Austin, Boston and Virtual Space. Taking HootSuite stories to audiences at Gravity Summit, ITEXPO and Dreamforce. In this month’s round-up, we’ll show you where our Owls were in attendance as well as give you a sneak peak into where we’re headed next.

Where We’ll Be Hooting

Moving forward through time, we’re sending HootSuiters out to more conferences in more locations. Check out the posts below to see if there will be an Owl in your nest this month.

AdTech

Keep a sharp eye out for Owly at this Japanese conference taking place in Tokyo. This is the 3rd time this interactive advertising and digital marketing exhibition has been held in Japan. Last year they saw over 10,000 attendees within two days and this year they’re expecting more of the same.

Along with Owly, we’ll be sending Matt Switzer, VP of Corporate Development at HootSuite. We’ll also be reaching out to our Japanese friends to continue building relationships, so if you see him around feel free to say hi and bug him for some #HootKits.

Web Congress Madrid

Our very own Daniel Robles has been uprooted from the HootSuite HQ in Vancouver to work from Spain and in doing so he’ll be speaking at WebCongress in Madrid. This networking conference is bringing in some heavy hitters with Google, Blackberry, and Bwin.com sending speakers to the event.

Where We’ve Been Hooting

Here’s a quick recap of the events we attended in the past month.

Social Media Week: Real Estate Track

Bocar Dia rocked the house during Social Media week in Vancouver with a presentation on Social Strategy for Real Estate Agents. During this session, Bocar was joined by @SJagger, @thinktomdotcom, @debra11, @KyeGrace, @sdd, and @cliffstevenson. There were some great stories and tactics shared amongst real estate agencies from all around the area.

Digital East

Next on the #HootTour was Greg Gunn‘s presentations at Digital East, the event counterpart to Digital West. Here he spoke at two different sessions. The first was on Social Media Tactics: Monitoring and Measuring at Digital East’s pre-conference event. The second was on how to Use Tools to Mine Social Media Gold.

Greg nailed both topics and his presentation on Social Media Tactics: Monitoring and Measuring hit the front page of SlideShare within minutes of taking the stage. Twitter was also a buzz with Tweets about Gregs presentation.

Social Media for Government

This meetup in Victoria, BC played host to Dave Olson, Director of Marketing at HootSuite. The event’s focus was on how governments can utilize the social media revolution to build communities and share stories. Dave curated an extensive talk during the program, which resulted in some stimulating conversation centred around his presentation. You can view the presentation here: Community Building Making Friends, Sharing Stories.

Keeping it in true Canadian style, Dave walked out the door of HootSuite HQ and flew out to Victoria in a float plane provided by local airline Harbor Air. Owly, also made the trip and had a hand in flying the plane. Luckily Owly is a natural pilot and everyone on the flight landed without a hitch.

MeshWest

For the past five years, MeshWest has provided Western Canada with a series of conferences centered on how the Web is changing how we live, work, and play. HootSuite’s Scott Walker joined the conversation in Edmonton where he sat on a panel with Allyson Simpson from Osum Oil Sands, to discuss social media programs and the tactics Canadian business are attempting.

Impact99

Resident speaking pro and HootSuite Enterprise Educator, Kemp Edmonds, attended Impact99 in Sqaumish, BC. Impact99 is an innovative HR conference about the convergence of social technologies and HR.

Here Kemp moderated the main panel discussion on social media and HR, as well as coached teams of 8. The team element of the event was a competition where the teammates were tasked with trying out certain social media and technology Tools. Kemp’s team created a fictional recruiting video for a fictional company.They played off of Mad TV’s recurring sketch about a dating service called “Lowered Expectations“.
