They really do mean a lot to me - so thank you. Agree the panel sessions could have been longer, but I think the energy levels by 6:30 were about right to end so I guess maybe there could have been fewer speakers or panels? In any case I think what was achieved by Scott and Drew was amazing and probably avoided anyone feeling that their interests weren't being met long enough in any session to warrant disappearing, so perhaps that's the merit of a shorter period. Good question on whether it was a social media event. Scott made it clear to me he wanted to move beyond social media, and that's partly why I avoided the traditional tools in my presentation. But ultimately, technologies that enable better connections betwen people are ultimately all 'social' media, so I guess it depends on your perspective on the term. Anyway thanks for this write up - really appreciate it! Hey Michael, thanks so much for those kind words. They really do mean a lot to me – so thank you.
