Live blogging at PEX Week Europe

london film museumAs regular readers of the blog will know, I'm a big fan of live blogs as a means of bringing events to life.  They have all the value of tweet jams whilst also allowing users to interact via the web or email.  You can also use polls, add videos and photos, include sponsorship and various other things that added together make them fantastic mechanisms for engaging with attendees.

From a marketing perspective they're also great as you can offer publishers in your niche the embed code so they can host it on their site.  For instance Professional Manager magazine have added the PEX Week live blog onto their site for their readers to join in with.  The session will also be embedded onto the intranet of delegates so that colleagues can follow along, ask questions and so on.

So all in all I think they're great.  Oh, and you can get sponsorship either for the blog itself or for sponsored Q&A sessions, thus turning it into a revenue generating tool.  All in all it's a winner whichever way you look at it.

So, to PEX Week Europe.  It's the annual process excellence event held in London.  This year it's at the Film Museum on the Southbank (next to the London Eye).  I checked out the venue today and it looks really cool and I think the event should be a smasher.
