One year !

Today is the first birthday of the CEO Bloggers' Club.

I launched this club last sumer without precisely knowing how it will grow and how many will join us, I have to say that I've been impressed by the result and the implication of some of the members that have been either regular authors or regular comentors, so thank you for that, you made it great !

How are we going to launch year 2 ? Well, there are some new things that I'd like to initiate and to do here with you. First of all, I won't stay anymore in the back office as moderator mainly, I am going to share here informations I'll find in the blogosphere and that I will find might be of interest to all of you, so I'll be a much more regular author.

As you probably seen, I added an EVDB calendar to show informations about event coming in the world and to which you might want to participate, an "event" list of several conferences also, please feel free to ping me if you learn about any other event that you'd like to see there.
Of course, I'd like to hear about event linked in a way or another to "online communication", social software, RSS, blogging, podcasting, communication...

There will be also in the very next weeks the launch of the CEO Podcast, a podcast in which will talk about all those new communications tools/channel/trends and provide pragmatical informations, thoughts, insights, your views on how they've impacted your companies or your dailies activities.

We are now more than 90 members around the world, this is a huge "case studies" resource, so I'll be happy to interview those of you who will be interested to share their "voice" here with us, some guests will also participated in this new podcast. The format will be 15-20 minutes max interviews, I hope will be able to make it lively. I already talked about this idea with some of you that are based closer to me, if you wan't to participate/open the CEO Podcast (the name might change, nothing fixed today, more an open idea), make any suggestion in the topics you'd like to see address, please, leave a comment or send me an email at guillaume (at) bloggingplanet (dot)com.

Most of us are now back from holiday in France, I hope you all had a great summer, I also send my thoughts to those of you that might have been affected by the ravages of hurricane Katrina those last days, this is the opportunity to let you know about this initiative focused on raising awareness of and funds for relief efforts to aid those affected.

I hope you'll enjoy Year II here with us.

Hi Guillaume. I was searching for "evdb" at Technorati and came across your blog. Very cool to see an EVDB events calendar on this blog!

By the way, I'm CEO of EVDB and I blog in several places:
