Cameron Herold, a Thought Leader at the Annual Meeting, is a straightforward, engaging speaker. As his overflow session filed out, I asked three people to give a single quick thought:

1."I was interested in his ideas about free software being the way to go. If he's right about that, and he makes a convincing case, then there's going to be a whole lot of upheaval to the way organizations run and use software." Len Mafrica with the Oncology Nurses Society.

2. "He has me thinking that maybe I need to get off the bus." Name withheld by request, national trade association executive. (A little context: Herold talks a lot about hiring and firing and employees being in the right places for them.

3. "He was great. The best thing for me, and I took a lot of notes, and he said a lot of things that are worth thinking about and exploring, but the best thing for me is just the thinking I'm doing while I'm taking the notes. He unlocked the creative flow. He gets us to reach and to unlock the executives we all should be." David Trust with the Professional Photographers of America.
