My travels next week will take me to Canada’s capital city of Ottawa (that’s me on Parliament Hill in a previous visit). I’m scheduled to take in at least three interesting events:

1) Third Tuesday Ottawa: On Monday night (yes, I know it says Third Tuesday … but close enough!), author Shel Israel will speak about his new book, Twitterville. I did a quick flip-through at my local Barnes & Noble earlier this week, and the book is chock-full of case studies; I can’t wait to hear Shel share a few of them.

2) Mark Schumann speaks to IABC Ottawa: On Tuesday evening, the newish global chair of IABC will address  “the fundamental shift in communication power” brought about by social media.

3) Social Media Breakfast Ottawa: Tara Hunt, who recently moved back to Canada following a stint in California–and in a karaoke van, at that–will riff on the ideas in her book, The Whuffie Factor over coffee and croissants on Wednesday morning. “Whuffie” is all about social capital, and Tara has plenty of that. I’m excited to to hear her present–as long as she doesn’t ask us to sing!
