Christian New Media Conference 2011

That time of the year is upon us, when geeks and theologians (and geeky theologians for that matter) gather in London to hand out awards (but not to the Twurch – harummph) and then talk about all things social and new media and churchy.
Unfortunately the Twurch can’t be there this year. @peterould has a work commitment “oop north” and @thechurchmouse is otherwise engaged (it involves Stilton apparently) but that doesn’t mean we’re not excited about it (apart from not being short-listed for the awards). You can still get a ticket by going to the official site and booking for one of the hugely interesting seminars.
If you’re especially privileged you’ll have been invited to the awards ceremony hosted by @vickybeeching with a number of exciting categories (which we weren’t nominated for). We’ll try and have our spies out that evening to tell you who won which award (that we weren’t nominated for – did we mention that?).
Finally, we’ll be doing our best to bring you all the live tweets on our TwurchStream page. How innovative is that? A live twitter stream of everybody in the Church of England who’s tweeting! A whole social media community of literally hundreds created in a little over 18 months! It’s enough to win an award don’t you think?
We’re done now.

The hashtag for the event was missing, that was clearly the reason you weren’t shortlisted for an award! Although not on the judging panel, I do know that there was over 100 submissions for at least one category – it’s encouraging to know that so much good material is growing.

We didn’t even get short-listed for that!! The semi-official twitter community for the State Church no less! These “poeople” need educating…
