Creating Under the Confluence in OKC

Today is the 2nd annual Confluence Conference in Oklahoma City.

WTF is ConfluenceCon?

If the website doesn't give you a quick enough breakdown, see the most recent NewsOK article.

Best explained by the creator, David Christopher. He is the most interesting coffee date you will ever have in Oklahoma City.

                                   

WTF is a Digital Influencer – David Christopher from David Christopher

Was it total bullshit? No.

I actually learned new things that helped my personal online content as well as professionally related.

Learned about janux from Adam Croom and took the massive online open course Chemistry of Beer because his 2013 #confluencecon appearance let me know what OU was offering (for free!) How else do you think I got that pretty beer badge to the right of this screen? 

How to Become an Expert at Anything – Adam Croom from Confluence Conference

• Met Marissa Mohi for the first time and made a new shenanigan friend. I was already a reader of the Lost Ogle, but glad to meet someone in person behind the content. She is totally awesome AND A REAL-LIFE hero in a half-shell, with twitter power. I became a fan of hers last year and am excited she is serving up a twitter roast to lighten the mood and maybe unwind some of those tight-asses I saw last year.....#youarenotsafe

• Learned how to properly use pinterest thanks to Daniel Maloney, the CEO and co-founder of Tailwind (yes, pinterest's only analytics firm at the time, based/located in OKC). This is why pinterest no longer annoys me.

Follow Brandi 's board Chemists are the human element. on Pinterest.

• If Royce Young doesn't break down twitter to you facebook banger types and having you turning new tricks, then you can GTFO of OKC....

My 2014 Demand List

1. No bitchassness or resting bitch faces allowed in or near building.
2. I think number 1 can be fixed by those working the conference---to not only attain their attention to OPUBCO affiliated peeps. We are here to meet new people, not exclude them. 
3. Oh yes, I would be VERY interested to know the diversity and gender statistics about today's attendee's. 
4. I hope I meet people who are connected to science, science education or any sci-tech communication. Holla at me. I do science and love it.
5. I also expect others to at least be somewhat football fans. I felt like a freak last year checking college scores. Help me and I will help you.
6. I aim to find out if Social Jobworking can help me get a job. Tell me what I am doing wrong because I am social but that job search ain't working.
