Jake volunteered to speak at the Community Next event and, through the “Community Choice” (i.e. vote from the people) was given one of the coveted speaking spots. He’ll be speaking alongside Guy Kawasaki, Tara Hunt, Ted Rheingold, and more community brains.

Here’s the skinny on the event:

Community Next - Feb. 10
Stanford University (California)

Jake will be speaking on the topic of “Community Ecology” - the idea that there is a balance that must be maintained when working with fan groups, and sharing a few techniques about the best way to find and maintain that balance.

If you’re in town, give Jake a shout. He’ll buy the beer (just make sure to let him know after the tab comes).
