If you’re working in the area of content strategy, writing, developing or designing web sites, marketing or anything in between, you should probably be planning on heading to the Content Strategy Forum in London from September 5th – 7th.
CS Forum has excellent speakers including Karen McGrane, Gerry McGovern, Kristina Halvorson, Erin Kissane. They’ll be covering everything from the value of content, techniques and tools, user experience design, business models, videos and much more. If you look closely you may even recognize some local speakers including Des Traynor, Cory-Ann Joseph, and myself.
WORKSHOP DETAILS:
My workshop, Designing Narrative Content, is designed to help people answer the question of “How can I make sure that everything I’m doing helps to reach the widest audience possible with my content, technology and overall strategy?” It’s a hands-on workshop, so attendees will actually walk away with their own publishing strategy and even a sample publication online and live!
In order to build and lay everything out, we’ll use a new technology called Treesaver to dynamically produce our content and allow people to view it everywhere. But don’t be scared if you think you’re not a developer, we’re not focusing on the dev part, we’re just focusing on the content. You won’t have to know how to create HTML from scratch. If you are familiar with HTML & CSS, then you’ll be able to customize your experience a good bit more but it won’t be necessary.
If you are working with narrative content, long-form content, any form of digital publishing (including magazines, newspapers, eBooks), this workshop will save you a lot of time and money in understanding how to design more content with small teams and small budgets.
If you’re interested in the workshop and want to know more about it, please feel free to e-mail me for more information or contact me on Twitter. If there is something you’d like to see added to the workshop, now would be a great time to let me know while I still have time to alter the presentation and exercises.
INTERVIEW:
Randall Snare interviewed me recently about my workshop and views on the field as well as what Indian palm readers predict for my very near future. You can read that interview here for a bit more insight: http://blog.csforum.eu/articles/narrative-content-martha-rotter-preview.
