Are there any Jewish conferences Judaism.SE should consider sponsoring and sending a representative to?

Conferences bring together high concentrations of highly interested people, and would give us a chance to promote the site face-to-face. In addition, a representative we send to a conference may learn some interesting information that could be useful in answering advanced questions on [main]. Stack Exchange, Inc. has money available to do stuff like sponsor a conference, print up materials to bring, etc.

Any ideas?

How about reaching out to Federation to see if you can present @ the GA?

  • Last year I believe there was a panel on social media.

Here are two Jewish journalism conferences that happened recently. Perhaps we could catch up with them next year.

The next Limmud Conference in the UK will be December 23 - 29, 2011.

http://www.youthcon.org/ - a conference for Jewish Youth Professionals, who would likely join and be active participants of the site.

http://www.fojnp.com/ - a conference for those who work in the Jewish non-profit field, again lots of people who would likely be actively involved in building the site.

Full Disclosure: Friends of mine are running both of these conferences.

  • Thanks! YouthCon looks particularly relevant. Both of these are coming up in 3-4 weeks. Do you know if there's any potential to add someone speaking about crowdsourced Jewish Q&A to, e.g., one of the Digital Media sessions at YouthCon at this late date? Could you please either email me at [email protected] or join me in Mi Yodeya Chat to discuss these ideas further?

I just came across an ad for TribeFest, a Federation conference for North American Jews ages 22-45.

There's information about being part of the vendor exhibition in this PDF.

This year's conference is March 25 - 27, 2012, in Las Vegas.
