I’m talking about Socialtext Eventspace, which sounds so amazingly cool that I wish every conference organizer would at least check it out. But it’s also a little scary, in that it puts a lot of the control over what’s said about your event in the hands of attendees, and you know, there’s usually more than one in every crowd that will just kvetch endlessly. But you know what? They’re doing that already, and you can edit—it just means someone has to be paying attention. But shouldn’t you be paying attention anyway? To see what this is all about, check out the Eventspaces for the Web 2.0 Conference, Supernova, and the PC Forum.

If someone reading this has used Eventspace, please e-mail me about your experience with it. I’d love to learn more.

I don’t know any more about this than what I read in the press release, but this sounds interesting: Some folks have volunteered to form a network of Latino meeting professionals after holding a focus group with senior Hispanic meeting professionals this fall. Sounds like it’ll be based in Washington, D.C. From the press release:

The mission of the group is to “create a nurturing environment for all Latino meeting professionals, fostering the exchange of ideas and learning to embrace the concept of living our lives in color.”

They’ll be meeting Jan. 20 at the Hamilton Crowne Plaza in Washington, D.C., to discuss how to critically analyze a meeting, and will meet the third Friday of each month in D.C. from noon to 2 p.m. Meetings are free of charge.
