I'm excited to be one of the keynote speakers at the Training Magazine Conference and Expo. The event is in Atlanta, Georgia on February 13-14th. The event is set up to have multiple, short keynotes over the course of the conference and my talk will focus on the "Art of Explanation". Here's the description:
While technology increases connectivity, connectivity increases complexity. The time between decisions is shrinking and the scale of information around each decision is exploding. How do we craft explanations when faced with this dual challenge? How do we make sense of complex issues in the shortest time possible? Learn a breakthrough approach for crafting explanations that people get, and act upon the first time out. See how an explanation can move someone from disinterest to motivation and even excitement. Lee LeFever, renowned for building short, creative video explanations, will share what he’s learned about the key elements of great explanations.
I hope to see you there!

I'll be speaking at a couple of awesome educational events in early December. Here are the details...
I'll be one of the Rapid Fire presenters at the Big Ideas Fest at Half Moon Bay, CA, December 4-7. Details from the website:
3 days of innovation and inspiration, 16 Speakers, 4 hands-on Action Collab sessions, and numerous opportunities to network with fellow education mavericks and change agents. All of that, plus an entire Pacific Ocean coastline on which to marvel.
Also, I'll be the keynote speaker for the Western Regional Computer Advisory Committee's 2011 Symposium, in London Ontario on December 8th, 2011. The symposium brings together teachers, principals and administrators in Western Ontario, Canada. From the website:
Symposium is all about ideas. The keynote and breakout sessions are carefully selected by the organization committee. There is no "call for proposals"; all of the keynotes and sessions are selected specially for the message that they will deliver. The message is timely and contemporary with the goal being to inform all of the school districts at the same time. Regularly, the audience is filled with over 400 directors, superintendents, principals, and technology leaders.
I hope we'll see you at one of these events!

It's true. Sachi and I are attending the Texas Library Association Conference in Austin, April 12-15th. I will be presenting on Thursday the 14th at 2pm and my talk is called "The Art of Explanation - in Plain English". I hope you'll come.
This will be our first library conference and we're really excited to meet people like you and take it all in. Librarians are among our most dedicated fans and this conference is one of the biggest events in the library world. If you're going to the conference, leave a comment or contact us - it would be great to meet face-to-face.
I'm excited to be participating in a free online seminar with TechSoup, an organization that helps non-profits with technology. Details below:
Tech Training Made Simple with Online Videos
Wednesday, November 18, 11 a.m. Pacific time
Wouldn’t it be great if complicated technology concepts were explained in a simple way that’s easy to understand? Imagine how something like this could assist you in training sessions for patrons or staff. Well look no further, Common Craft creates explanatory videos “In Plain English” that cover topics like green, money, society and technology.
In this free webinar, Stephanie Gerding from TechSoup will interview Lee LeFever, from Common Craft to learn more about their videos and how they are created. We will also hear how librarians are using these videos to support the needs of their community.
I hope you'll be able to come and ask questions! Sign up here.
Where Goldfish Come From

A couple of months ago, I presented a 5 minute presentation at Ignite Seattle called "Where Goldfish Come From" that is based on my experience growing up as a son of a goldfish farmer in North Carolina. The Ignite series happens around the globe and each presenter has 20 slides that display for 15 seconds each, and auto-advance. It's a challenge to make it work, but I enjoy it.
