Me. An official blogger. I guess it doesn’t get more official than that title. I have been blogging from digital conferences for a long while but during the 3 last years, it has been as an official European blogger – running around at conferences like mad, producing content like videos, interviews, pictures, and articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The content is produced around what’s happening at the conferences and what kind of key takeaways I have. (my blogger partner-in-crime during the last couple of digital conferences has been Annika Lidne<\/a>, but also Erno Hannink<\/a> and Adam Tinworth<\/a> are some of the ones I see on, well, a more regular basis than my friends).<\/p>\n\n\n\n I blog for work purposes because I think it’s a vital part of my creative social web studio<\/a> to stay ahead, but also to be around cool people from the sphere. Denmark (and in particularly Helsing\u00f8r) can become a bit narrow over time. (and I normally compile some of the key takeaways in my tendency reports – here’s the latest one for you =)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyway if you’ve been reading this blog for the past couple of weeks (or subscribed to my danish or english newsletter) you will be knowing that for the past week I have been in Berlin – first for re:publica<\/a> and later for NEXT berlin<\/a> – I decided to round up the bloggers in our group on the internet and ask about some piece of advice that I could post on my blog so you could see what really makes an official blogger happy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re all curious about who else is going to cover your conference. – A blogger group or mailing list – we used a Facebook group for Next Berlin – It worked really well and the activity is still buzzing in there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m still waiting to see the alexander bard speech again – one that I think will be covered here in several blogposts – it was nothing short than fantastic =)<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can take more input before and it could be that we could plan more interviews and articles at the conference if we had a plan before we went to the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Really, you get pissed bloggers without wifi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We need a place with fatboys, coffee to edit our stuff. I said suite – not a couple of tables in a corner – the nicer suite the happier bloggers. The best one I’ve experienced was sponsored by Yahoo at Le Web<\/a> in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It will make your conference appear more professional, and also it makes bloggers happier because they don’t have to use hours finding a somewhat remote location to shoot their videos – without the noise of 700 people in the room. Basically some places where we can talk to people\/record video without interferences. Over the years the main form of content production has gone from being articles to be video and sound. So this is really important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There was one the day before the next berlin conference sponsored by moccu<\/a> and adtiger<\/a> – it was cool, however not a lot of bloggers was in the city at that point, so maybe one during the conference as well ? –\u00a0Bloggers and speakers should be together – maybe a joined area for both and the a speaker and a blogger suite attached ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accessible to anyone who would like to meet the blogger crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Team to take care of the bloggers and help them with requests – pr-ip\u00a0<\/a>did an AWESOME job taking care of us around NEXT Berlin they have a top recommendation from me, they were omnipresent and super helpful and fun to be around =).<\/p>\n\n\n\n pr-ip hooked some of the bloggers at Next Berlin up on AirBNB with an apartment – it was awesome).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again – you have some of the coolest content producers present give them EVERYTHING to feel they are important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make it clear how much you expect from them. Literally there are some bloggers that covers a conference in 1 post and some that covers it in 50 interviews. Also mention what language preference you have. Thank you to my fellow official bloggers at Next Berlin (Fredrik Wass<\/a>, Dimitris Kalogeropoulos<\/a>, S\u00e8bastien Flury<\/a>, Anja Rauch<\/a>, Luca Sartoni<\/a> and Erno Hannink <\/a>– ) for helping me out with this list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s important to keep those bloggers happy=) Me.
