Here we are, the usual Anime North roundup all the regulars are used to since we kind of launched the blog at the same con. Of course I tried several events out that are related to professional geekery and fan-to-pro activities, and I wanted to give you the lowdown.

Promoting Professional Geekery #23: Start A Pro Section At A Con
The roundup of Promoting Professional Geekery is here.
OK you're speaking at a con about careers. You might be managing an entire track of career events. So what more can you do to encourage people attending your convention or conventions to try the route of the professional geek?
Why, by inviting other professionals – but not just to speak. Give them tables, give them their own area. Start a Pro Section at your con.
Promoting Professional Geekery #11: Career Track
Last week I suggested that, to help promote professional geekiness and the fan-to-pro idea, that you speak at a convention and share your knowledge (or at least horror stories). OK, so far so good, maybe you're even doing that.

I want you to go to a convention and inspire/run/create a career TRACK.
