Counting down: 7 days till #dfcmob

We are almost done with the preparation of #dfcmob.

Everybody is working at full speed. With everybody we mean: Ruben Timmerman, Frank Overbeek, Mona Patel, Evert Stobbe, Marijn Driessen, Lotte Zwijnenburg, Peter Boersma, Hugo Koopmans, Pieter Jan Troost, Tanja de Bie, Joost de Valk, Stefan Wobben, Mark Kassteen, Robert Jan Verkade, Iskander Smit, Bram Alkema, Bram van Essen, Bart Clement, Nils van den Broek, Sjors Provoost, Priya Prakash, Tom Prakke, Scott Weiss, Jerome Nadel, Christel De Maeyer, Ferry Den Dopper, Anouk Randag, Pieter Stel, Arnoud Markus, Karen Aarts, Karin van den Driesche, Peter van der Graaf, Ronald Verschueren, and of course Reinout Wolfert. I am sorry if I’ve left someone out. Funny thing is that we never wanted a big organisation behind DfC

Persuasive Technology 101
We are very glad that team captain Pieter Jan Troost and his BuyerMinds colleague Joris Groen have written the first serious overview article on Persuasive Technology for professionals. A special thanks goes out to BJ Fogg, Susan Weinschenk and Bryan Eisenberg who were so kind to comment on the 1st version of this article. As said the article is the first ever written overview and we would like to invite you to follow in the steps of BJ, Susan and Bryan and post your comments, questions or tweet the article to friends.

Serious Help Needed
If you have ever attended a class on the psychology of facebook by BJ Fogg, you will know how important your profile picture is. Co-organizer and good friend Jay de Groot seems to realize this too. But I think he needs some help (preferably professional help), this is just a small selection of the profile pictures that Jay has. I want to use this opportunity to ask which picture you think is the most persuasive? Please reply to this mail. On DfC I will present him with a framed picture of your choice.

Invite 1 really Cool person
The conference is filled up nicely, but we do still have a limited number of seats available. So if you know a cool -and only if he/she is really cool- analytics/design/marketing friend, please tell him/her about our conference/party.

! Warning for people with a Heart Condition
Because the resident DJ has almost 16.000 watt at his disposal, and he is trigger happy, you might want to reconsider coming to the conference. Or at least sit in the very back of the venue. Be ready for some hard pounding, gut ripping beats next Friday.
