I always come away with something.
It’s not necessarily that the speakers tell me something new I want to use – it is that I sit there for hours thinking about things – and something will take shape while I sit there. Something will trigger a train of thought that leads to a new idea. It happens to me every time. And usually the idea is sound and works for me.
So while the individual speakers may not be giving me the idea, it is the amount of time spent thinking about the business that does.
And I agree, the SEO presentation was good and very refeshing.
I would like to see these guys in Miami next spring.
The networking still is the most attractive part. I always come home with some new deals and new friends in the business.
I also like the beer session – I wish more people would speak up because that is where we can directly communicate with managers about what we want to see. I was quite disappointed that BB1 was not there for that.
