\"Confab\"<\/a>
Coming soon: Confab goes to school.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not even two months after Meet Content launched, we flew to Minneapolis, Minn., to be a part of another new creation. We were among the inaugural attendees of Confab, the content strategy conference organized by Kristina Halvorson and Brain Traffic. (See our recap of the conference<\/a>, including a video of attendees sharing their top takeaways.)<\/p>\n

We were thrilled. Finally, a conference devoted to content strategy, with a lineup that couldn\u2019t be beat. Ahead of Confab, we connected with others in higher ed who planned to attend the conference. We figured we\u2019d uncover a small but hardy core of colleagues with whom we could discuss shared challenges and lessons learned. As it turned out, it was not a small group.<\/p>\n

To our surprise and delight, we found dozens of higher ed professionals in attendance. We were all hungry. Not just for the Confab cake\u2014but also to elevate the dialogue on content strategy in higher ed to tackle the challenges we face on campus.<\/p>\n

And, indeed, the conversation has taken off.<\/p>\n

Higher ed faces significant challenges on the web, but now we have shared lessons learned to educate and empower the higher ed community to do great work.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we are thrilled to partner with Brain Traffic to present Confab Higher Ed, set to take place Nov. 11-12 in Atlanta. As the first industry-specific Confab, we will focus on the unique challenges and opportunities for content strategy in higher education. <\/p>\n

We have been overwhelmed with the positive reaction to the announcement of Confab Higher Ed. Over the coming months, we\u2019ll nail down the conference details, including programming (and cake orders—gotta have priorities). As soon as we have new information, we will share it with you. (You can sign up for the Confab mailing list or follow @ConfabEvents<\/a> on Twitter to make sure you don\u2019t miss a thing.)<\/p>\n

In the meantime, we\u2019d love to hear what you are looking for in a higher ed content strategy conference. Help us to make Confab Higher Ed awesome. Please share your thoughts in the comments.<\/p>\n
