That’s right: a new event has arrived on the current scene where, as well as an interesting debate, you can also do some networking.
I had the chance to attend a couple of events previously organised by Millán Berzosa, “Café y Finanzas” (Coffee and Finance), so this event had every sign of being a real success.
To get it off the ground he has teamed up with Bárbara Yuste @byuste, another expert in the field of communication.
So two experts in the world of communication and journalism, with their mastery of social media, managed to get more than 80 people to Loft 39 for the first edition of Café & Periodismo (Coffee & Journalism), even on a Saturday, 27 February 2010.
Keys to its success:
- The event’s promoters, without a doubt, as they draw a lot of people.
- The speakers, exceptional guests, two old-school journalists with plenty to say: Pedro Alzada from Cuarto Poder and Alfonso Armada from Frontera D.
- The venue, Loft 39 on Velázquez. Although the place was too small for us, the acoustics were good, those who arrived early got comfortable, it is central and easy to reach, and after the talk you can have a few beers at the bar.
- The debate, no doubt about it: if there is no debate after a good talk, something is missing, and here nothing was, with every angle covered: newly graduated journalists, veteran journalists, marketing people, internet people. Everyone did their bit.
- The atmosphere: healthy, open, participative. I only went to see Millán and find out about his event, and I met several interesting people and there were plenty of business cards exchanged; networking in its purest form.
- The broadcast of the event. I can’t fail to highlight the excellent work of Jaime Estévez, who, with his Mac and his camera, streamed the event for those who couldn’t attend, and we can also enjoy it whenever we like.
So that you can enjoy this first event, here is the “New media” video with Pedro Alzaga and Alfonso Armada.
So you don’t miss the next ones, here is the group on Facebook
And since it’s a group of professionals, it also has a group on LinkedIn
See you at the next one 😉
