It’s that time of year again. The start of my convention season, and the next several weeks are looking to be busy.
We kick of next week at the STC Summit in Orlando. It’s been a few years since I was last at this event, and I’m looking forward to catching up with my professional colleagues, and meeting some new people. The conference sessions are looking interesting, and as I’m not speaking this year I should have more time to sit back and absorb some new knowledge.
As soon as I get back from Orlando, it’s off to Houston for Comicpalooza. Over the last few years this has rapidly become one of my favorite pop-culture/comics events. Three days of fun, networking, and entertaining guests. Along the way I’ll be participating in a few panels:
- The Secret History of James Bond in Comics
- The Editing Process
- Finding Writing Inspiration.
In early June I’m heading to Poland for the first time to speak at LocWorld #37 in Warsaw on the subject of Content Convergence. Should be a great experience.
At the end of June I’ll be a little closer to home with my first appearance at SoonerCon in Oklahoma where I’ll be on panels discussing:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Podcasting: How to win Listeners and Influence the Internet
- Doctor Who: Regeneration – It’s a Lottery
- All Ages Comics as a Development Tool
I’ll also be doing a reading (I just need to decide what that will be).
Phew… it’s going to be an interesting couple of months, and I’m looking forward to it. If you’re going to be at any of these events, make sure to come find me and say “Hi.” – See you on the road.
