One of the best benefits of attending professional events is networking – whether face to face or via social media. And it often starts before an event. Personally, before I attend a conference, I search Twitter for the event’s hashtag to engage in conversation and “meet” colleagues. That said, searching Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn can be time consuming and overwhelming.

What is a conference’s competition? In reality it is probably not what immediately comes to mind; not another conference or event. How else do our members learn?

For years, the British rock band Radiohead has used the internet to successfully market what would otherwise be difficult-to-package material for wide audiences. Its strategies are ripe for borrowing and building from. In 2000, the rock band Radiohead did something very surprising: It topped the Billboard 200 without the help of radio, traditional press, and MTV.

You want to know a little secret about me. I love binge listening. What the heck, you say? Binge listening is a word I’ve adapted to mean I love listening to people. Then working with them to learn to listen to their own inner wisdom. Like binge TV/Netflix watching only with your ears and a box of Kleenex near by. Not the remote control. I’ve spent the last 5 years in deep dedication learning to listen to myself and listen to, for, and with others.

For the seventh straight year, the American Booksellers Association is reporting a membership surge. But, while independent booksellers appear to be doing well, wage and real-estate pressures could dampen growth down the road. The internet may be shaking up the ways we read and write, but one industry focused on the written word isn’t struggling, by any means.

Note from Beth: I’ve been working in the nonprofit technology sector since 1990 and there was an old saying, “It isn’t a matter if the technology fail, it is a matter when and what your Plan B is.” We always had some sort of back up plan. For Giving Days, having a solid crisis plan in place for the technology, weather, or an act of god is an essential best practice.

The world of aviation is endlessly complex, but the National Business Aviation Association is helping members make sense of one key aspect. What is it? As the National Business Aviation Association says in one of its ads , “Crossing the Atlantic was easy compared to navigating Congress.” Though anyone from an owner of a single aircraft to a pilot can be a member of NBAA, each is likely to be more familiar with the flight industry than with regulatory changes.
