Elsewhere, post-conference roundup
Association bloggers are still writing thoughtful stuff about the Annual Meeting:
- Kevin Holland was disappointed in the closing keynote, but happy with the conference overall.
- Peggy Hoffman shares a bunch of things that she learned at Annual.
- David Gammel has some thoughts on associations and the status quo, based on Thought Leader James Gilmore's remarks.
- Sue Pelletier posted about what she saw on the Expo floor, what she learned during a marketing session, and how she was inspired by a session on getting record attendance for an event. She also shared some thoughts on online gaming and associations and on the closing session.

Lisa, thanks for the link, but to clarify, I thought the closing keynote was excellent -- I was disappointed that she didn't get to give her entire presentation because of the way the closing session was scheduled.
You did a great job this year, as usual!

My apologies, Kevin--I didn't mean to misrepresent your post! But we appreciate the honest feedback on what you liked and didn't like at the meeting.
(And thanks for your kind words about Acronym this year--I think our guest bloggers this year have been doing a fabulous job. We were lucky to have them.)

Yes, I agree... the Blue Ocean info was important, and it was a little frustrating that she had to truncate her presentation. After this conference, I went directly to a committee meeting and used the Blue Ocean concept in our program planning.
