Summit Adventure
Benjie and I are loving the Summit. We’ve met so many cool people and connected with them with our new “social business card” a.k.a. the “Poken”. We got them for free and they’re way cool. Here’s a pic:
You touch the circle thing to another Poken and you automatically have the option of connecting with them on facebook, twitter, blogs, etc.
Summit has been way cool. I’ve met people that traveled from Brazil, Italy, and all over the US to come learn about web marketing. I’ve talked to people from Apple, Microsoft, Paypal, MTV, Intuit, Marriott Int. and lots more. This is the place for cool marketer people in March of 2010.
Here’s Benjie and I with our cool scanner things. There are breakout sessions where people learn more in-depth stuff and our job is to scan their badges as they walk in. This basically is our chance to get to pick out our favorite cool people and stop them in their tracks! I love meeting people and finding out what makes them tick. Its so funny, you feel like you’re best friends with someone just because they work for a company you like. To the best buy dudes: “hey I bought some headphones from you guys!” To the Discount Tire man: “I buy my tires from you!” Kinda silly but it’s more fun than you might think.
Here’s a shot of the huge crazy stage where people like Josh James from Omniture or the CEO of Adobe gives a keynote presentation!!
The stage is hard to see, maybe I’ll get a better pic tomorrow.
Night! Love ya’ll! Keep giving us feedback on the planners and wish us luck with the new Deseret Book relationship!
