Digital cameras have made photography so easy that we sometimes forget that things can still go pear-shaped if we’re not treating our equipment carefully. In today’s guest post from Kim Olson, we learn how to properly care for our memory cards so that we don’t have to face the pit-in-the-stomach feeling of losing all our photos.
So You Want to be a Speaker at TBEX 13: Tips, Procedures & Information
Next week we’ll be opening up the speaker submissions for TBEX 2013 in Toronto. We get tons of speakers submissions and even more emails about wanting to be a speaker at one of our events. Unfortunately, far too many of these ideas and submissions are the wrong fit for our audience. Sometimes we have been able to take the germ of an idea, have further discussion, and turn it into a great submission. Other times we can’t.

TBEX Memories
As TBEX matures out of infancy and into its toddler years, I’m struck by all the new faces I see at each conference. There are a few people who have been to every single TBEX so far, but I imagine that number will shrink fairly quickly from here on out. Because of that, I wanted to make sure we’re doing a good job of talking about not just the latest or next TBEX but also chronicling where we’ve been and how far we’ve come – especially while looking in the rearview mirror back to Chicago in 2009 isn’t too much of a strain yet.
New Media Expo Launches #NMXU Scholarship
There may be relatively low barriers to entry when it comes to starting a blog, but in order to get to the next level of blogging success sometimes there are investments to make. For many bloggers, that includes attending a blogging conference in order to meet and learn from the people who have blazed the trail. The price tag on big conferences can be cost-prohibitive for some bloggers just starting out, which is why we’re excited to announce today the launch of the New Media Expo University Scholarship.
