Wrap-Up Coming Soon; Your Thoughts?
Thanks to everybody that made BlogOrlando what it was. I plan on posting some final thoughts from my perspective later tonight.
It's been great to watch the Twitter-stream and the photos roll in.
In the interim what were your thoughts/impressions? I'd love to hear from veterans and first-timers.

Wow! I had a great time. I got to meet smart, engaged, innovative (did I mention smart?) people who WANTED to be there instead of HAD to be there like most events I attend. I learned a lot - Jake McKee and the session leaders were fantastic. There are so many nuggets that will stick with me for a long, long time!
Thanks for everything, Josh and crew!

I had a great time at my 2nd BlogOrlando. I really enjoy the Orlando scene, and it was amazing to watch the notable differences between last year's "Orlando Scene" session and this years. O-Town has big things coming this year, I'm sure of that!

As usual, another great event by Josh & crew.
The advance info was helpful, session content diverse enough to appeal to different levels of "experience" and the speakers were great (Ted Murphy rocked!). Spike's right, it's nice to be around people who WANT to be there vs. HAVE to be there. I hated to leave early but had to get Alex's staffer (who was VERY impressed) to the airport.
So...what's the date for 2010? Ha ha ;)

The third BlogOrlando was the brand's third success. Josh did a fantastic job with logistics, and the various speakers were wonderful. The conversations around each session are invigorating and inspiring. Outside the sessions, meeting like-minded folks (as well as skeptics) helps to focus my own thoughts. Great un-convention.

This was my first BlogOrlando experience and what an informative and engaging event it was! Some of the great sessions included Spike Jones, Alex Hillman, and others, but being able to meet and learn from each other was also very rewarding.
Thank you to everyone, and looking forward to the next event!

This conference is great at creating connections and inspiring everyone to get more out of what their doing, and push the envelope in C. FL and beyond.
