[Updated after the gig:] A fascinating afternoon – thank you! Here are my slides (pdf, 4,7 Mb), a link to the Bambuser live video. So far (15:55) no one (except me) has mobilized any images to energy@weconverse.com, but you still have some time to get them into the tagged stream. Of course your wiki is a good option for conversation, but hopefully there are things you want to share with the rest of the world. Perhaps by commenting here?

Vattenfall is producing a full day internal seminar on PR for their Nordic staff who are directly enganged in media relations. I have been asked to spice the event with inspirations from the latest developments in social media. For the moment I am not sure what to cover, but think mikroblogging, novel forms of video services, mobility, and apps will have a given place. And of course the issues around the concept of ”social media release”. Other speakers and consultants will reinforce with practical details on cases, including social media monitoring.

[Uppdatering efter giget] Whow, vilken läcker eftermiddag. Gott om tid och många bra konversationer. Här är mina föreläsningsbilder (pdf), länkar till livevideon och fotoströmmen (rätt kreativ, inklusive mobilvideon någon mejlade in :-). Någon nämnde Odla.nu, kan vara värt en titt+medkonversation. Till sist (just nu:-) rekommenderar jag mitt senaste inlägg Varumärkesförvar online, vår slutkonversation motiverade mig att skriva det.

På kort varsel hoppar jag in och tar ett spännande gig med Blomsterlandet. Ledning och butikschefer samlas för ett par dagars konferens. Min uppgift är att under en eftermiddag inspirerar kring webben och butiker på nätet. Det lär bli intressant :-)

[Update 2008-11-10] Whow, what a mindblowing morning! Thank you all for being so forward, open, and most of all – devoted to work with our future. As promised, here are my presentation slides (pdf, 5.7 Mb) and a direct link to the Bambuser live mobile video stream. My complete presentation is also available as a fully shareable video. I also mentioned a few sources that inspire me. They include Bob Sprankle (with the Room 208 kids), Learning Times Green Room (special about debating online), Phorecast (special on the technology behind my.barackobama), and  Presentation Zen. Also, take a look at BBC:s Spectrum experiment – rather cool, eh?

eTwinning is a framework for schools to collaborate on the Internet with partner schools in other European countries. Their Swedish National Support Service will host a Professional Development Workshop (PDW) in Gothenburg, Sweden November 6 – 8, 2008.  This PDW will have European secondary school teachers of social science as the main target group. The theme for the PDW will be “Using eTwinning for strengthening the European Dimension” and participants will focus particularly on exploring web 2.0” and ideas for using eTwinning in preparation for the European elections 2009.

I have been invited to make a key note address on the morning of the second day. Quite an honor indeed. My ambition is to provide a broad overview of the latest within social media and Web 2.0, focus in on young people, and give some examples of practical uses for schools. Think I also must bring in something about the importance of brands. Also came to think about Debating Live Online in Learning Times Green Room over a year ago. Also curios about eTwinning’s new portal that will go live late this month (platform?).

Really looking forward to this gig.  Do you have any suggestions about what i must bring forward?

[Update the day after the gig]: Yo! My apologies for not posting my lecture slides (pdf) until now (got an unexpectedly busy afternoon yesterday. Anyway, thanks to all of you students for being so interested and conversant, even though I tended to mute you. Here are the links to the video stream from the first part of the lecture, the video stream starring students, and the photo stream. Well, the latter is kind of thin, will be closed for input within the next few days. As you can se in the comments below, the conversation goes on.

In May 2007 I did my first guest lecture at a course in Media psychology and Media development at Stockholm School of Economics (SSE). The course is led by Professor Richard Wahlund, and you can check my documentation for that gig (in Swedish). Unfortunately the SSE Web site sucks (e.g. here is the result of Wahlunds ”Teaching” link: http://www.hhs.se/404b). Hence, I do not know much about other stuff in the course and I am sort of hanging loose. I do not even know where I am supposed to show up. Furthermore I have to bring my own loudspeakres. But Wahlund is a great professor and the students so far has been wonderful. So, I am sure the lecture will be rewarding. At least our experiences from the previous ones support such an outcome.

[Uppdatering efter giget] Tack alla ni för ett otroligt stimulerande dygn. Speciellt tack till mina danspartners (samt Ann och Martin) som lärde mig dansa tango! Nu har jag laddat upp mina föreläsningsbilder (pdf, 10 Mb). Här är en länk till livevideosar när jag börjar föreläsa och när ni hejjar i kameran (bilden hackar eftersom hotellets Internet suger). Apropå filmer med föreläsningar, kolla Benjamin Zander när han på TED 2008 berättar om Classical music with shining eyes. Ingen av er verkade mejla in några bilder, men om ni gör det så hamnar dom med taggen giggullers hos mig i Flickr.

[Uppdatering 13:10, efter samråd med Gullers bytte vi rubrik, men permalänken får stå kvar som den var]

Gullers Grupp utsågs till årets PR-byrå 2007. Jag har sedan drygt ett år haft förmånen att ha en fin konversation med några av deras medarbetare. Nu har jag dessutom blivit inbjuden att inspirera Gullers när dom har en intern kickoff i helgen som kommer. Utöver det skall jag framöver hjälpa alla medarbetare som vill utveckla sina insikter och fördigheter i sociala medier och webb 2.0. Snacka om ett förtroendefyllt, stimulerande och garanterat lärorikt uppdrag. Även för mig – och oss! Vi får se hur transparent den resan blir…
