Geoff, I love the “Rock Star” picture of you facing the audience! I was at the Business Marketing Association, met the Chief Blogger of Eastman Kodak, and other B2B luminaries. Great conference. But I wish I could have been with ya’ll too!

Best,

Thanks for the great write-up. I loved every minute of BlogPotomac and was truly honored to be a part of it. Best part for me was seeing everyone “walk the talk” – audio and video interviewing of each other, non-stop Twittering, photos uploaded to Flickr — cool! Thanks for including the links to all the AGC (attendee generated content). Onward!

Great job with the organizing, Geoff. Most impressed by you being the man on the job, no matter what the task (thanks for securing the power strips to the floors ;^) ). Character over image. Your parent’s raised you well.

Geoff and team –

I’m still in that ‘post BlogPotomac wow zone’. It was great.

There were many levels of appeal yet two points stood out: first, the depth of interaction between speakers and audience. Q&A was emphasized heartily – thx for cultivating that.

And next, the diversity of attendees struck me. Small business, marketing, government, mainstream press all found their way to BlogPotomac’s conversation.

And to add to the media recaps, for kicks here’s an audio Utterz interview with Helen Mosher on social media metrics & KD’s points:

Great work, Geoff, Larissa, Debbie and everyone. I had high expectations and they were surpassed. In a way, having the wifi suck made me look up from my laptop and soak more goodness up.

If folks want to check out some visual notes I made, here they are:

Crap I hated to miss this as I heard plenty of buzz about it beforehand, and even more now from people that attended. Congrats to Geoff and Debbie for pulling off what sounds like a smashing success!
