Battle of the blisteringly long conference names

digital cultureChuck Olsen Twittered today that the Journalism That Matters conference he'll be attending has the longest name and the worst web site.  But I will not be outdone!  It's time for a battle of the blisteringly long conference names!  I will pit my conference, The Snelling Center for Government Symposium, Fulfilling Vermont's E-State Potential: Building Community in a Connected Age, against Chuck's conference, A Passion for Place New Pamphleteers/New Reporters: Convening Entrepreneurs Who Combine Journalism, Democracy, Place and Blogs.

My conference: 16 words, 102 characters.

Chuck's conference: 17 words, 111 characters.

Drat!  You win this round, Olsen.  I'd have won too, if it wasn't for the word "entrepreneurs."  Stupid French.
