Could always pair this catchy phrase with a longer, more formal title. Use the short one-word title in some cases (social media); longer one when necessary to communicate to different audiences or new audiences.Â

Xenvolution: Architect, Design & Develop Meetup/Summit/EventÂ

Xenvolution - Annual (or Biannual) Xen Project Architect & Design SummitÂ

Just a suggestion.Â
