#Gnomedex 09
I've had a few days to decompress from Gnomedx 09 in Seattle. It was a great conference filled with insights, innovations & emotion. I purchased a book, a CD and left with a bag full of swag, which i doled out to family and friends. I left feeling re-charged and with a desire to do more in the social media realm, to start writing again and to put myself out there. Many thanks to @ChrisPirillo and his crew, for hosting this event.
Here are some of my thoughts/takeaways:
Location : Great, i loved the bell centre and the fact that it was right next to the Victoria Clipper dock.
Format : I really like the single stream format, you could just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Speakers : Eclectic mix, some emotional, some funny, and some inspired, only one i found a bit dull, but I took something from each of them.
Vibe : Cool, fun, geeky, excited.
Food : Excellent!
Attendees : I admit, I knew people already and I was not as social as I should have been, but everyone I got a chance to talk to was interesting, open and sincere.
Coolest Swag : frog, ninja, flask.
Organizers : Great people all of them, and hey free drinks!
Favorite Speaker : @Drew, #BlameDrewsCancer : http://blamedrewscancer.com
Negatives : Hmmm, the TBD session on Saturday afternoon should have been pushed until then end of day, i had to catch a boat and missed the last two speaker :(
Rants : My damn Twitterberry was not working, only figured out on the way home that it was not auto-detecting networks, I #BlameDrewsCancer. Also my 4 star hotel did not allow for SSL, WTF?
Twitter : I twittered as much as possible during the event, but it was hard to pay attention and keep twittering. Thankfully i started following @daveDelaney at the start of the conference, he can type way faster than i can.
