Here at 1000heads we’re not very good at staying put, however lovely our offices are. At any one time a few of us are always on the road, headed to some event to speak, facilitate or simply listen,  and you can always keep track of what we’re doing via our Meet Us @ calendar (just to your right on the sidebar).

Reliably outspoken ‘heads James and I at last year’s Like Minds

However, we thought we’d flag up some of the events we’ll be running or involved in over the next few weeks – there should be something to appeal to everyone, and if you’re already attending, make sure you let us know and say hi (mine’s a dirty martini). So…

• Tonight James and I are heading to Like Minds 2010 in Exeter, the innovative media conference which unfolds on Thursday and Friday with an outstanding programme of keynotes and workshops themed around ‘Creativity and Curation’. We’ll be hosting lunchtime talks on word of mouth and silence, respectively. Oh yes.
• Also this Friday but over in France, Lilian will be kicking off the first MeetFriday tweet-up for social and media folk in Lyon, so if you’re across the channel drop in.
• On Tuesday 2nd November Dons and I will be joining New York ‘head Adam for the Digital Mission / Rep Online breakfast, and I will also be around all day available for coffees (or cocktails) and chats with anyone wanting to find out more about what we do and the word of mouth industry – just drop me a tweet or mail.
• On Wednesday 10th November I am back in London running a free workshop for Royal Mail about direct mail and WOM called ‘Plugging DM into WOM: turning reach into spreadability’. Along with Benn Achilleas from Neoco, I’ll be showing direct mail practitioners how to harness a WOM approach to enhance their DM efforts – and vice-versa – so if you work in the industry sign up now.
• With my WOMMA UK hat on, on Wednesday 11th November we have a morning event from Posterscope exploring ‘Social media In The Real World – Or, how the convergence of on and off line social networks with mobile & display advertising technologies is creating a new Out-of-Home communications paradigm’ – again it’s free to attend so register asap.
• On Friday 12th November, Frank, Si and Joel will be headed to the DADI Awards Ceremony where we’ve been nominated for our #NokiaNav and Nokia AR launch campaigns. Fingers crossed!
• On Monday 15th November I’ll be talking about our work for Cancer Research UK and other great not for profit case studies at the ‘Tech For Good’ conference in London – a must if you want to find out how to harness communities for charitable causes and campaigns.
• And then from 16-20th November I’ll be in Las Vegas at the WOMMA Summit 2010, moderating an international panel of WOM experts discussing ‘Nation, culture and WOM: how does consumer WOM differ across global cultures and how must brands tailor their approaches accordingly?’ We’ve also been nominated for their WOMMY Awards, once again for the undeniably wicked #NokiaNav.

Of course, the wider team will be hitting lots of other networking and learning events over the next few weeks; these are just the edited highlights. Let us know if you think we should be coming to yours.

And if you’d just like a quiet chat over a coffee, we’re always here. Except when we’re on a train or a plane, that is
