It appeared to be a tough crowd.  Left photo: Was Ted Davis (@TedDavis) really sending Bemidji Mayor Rita Albrecht (@BemidjiRita) to the corner for misbehavior?  Right photo: Were these guys really that unhappy with my tweeting this photo of them?

Ted and I will doing our presentations again at the upcoming LMC leadership conferences in Mankato and Brooklyn Center.

For those who attended my session, here’s my Powerpoint:

I’m here in flood-ravaged Duluth for the League of Minnesota Cities annual conference. I’m teaming up with Ted Davis, Davis Communications, and Scott Neal, Edina City Manager, to do a pre-conference workshop today on Networking and Communicating with New Media for Local Government Leaders.  On Friday, I’m moderating a discussion session on Government 2.0: New Strategies for Engaging the Public.
