I hope to do some long-overdue research in the area of liveblogging, so perhaps will have more to talk about then. Of course, there is always Twitter and blogs and wikis and Elluminate and . . .

I was taken aback by the intensity of the experience and by how much I learned not only in the sessions but in simple friendly conversation with the incredibly energetic and devoted folks I met. Thank you for your generosity and hospitality and I hope to see you at Baruch in May. Brian: This was my first NV and it was unlike any other conference I’ve attended.

Jeffrey, one of my few regrets of this year was not getting to have a conversation with you. I really enjoyed your Liveblogging session -- as I tweeted at the time, your style was really engaging and created a great vibe. Sincere thanks to both of you for your contribution to the experience.

" for all those involved on all the levels of participation at the conference. Respect seems to allow for people to try new things, share the "wow" factor, and then publicaly put what they find online for others to read and comment upon. All of this within the context of helping to move our work and passion and learning forward without the pressure of selling, sponsorship, and greed that so pervades other conferences. I agree with you completely.

Maybe tomorrow I'll find those words -- until then, thank you for your warmth, your generosity, your hospitality, and your work -- it was great to be able to meet you, and carry on the conversations in person. I look forward to more of it. Cheers, Bill Hello, Brian,

Today, I struggled to find the words to describe NV — unlike you, I did not succeed — the event does transcend words, in that amazing, needs-to-be-pondered-deeply kind of way.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll find those words — until then, thank you for your warmth, your generosity, your hospitality, and your work — it was great to be able to meet you, and carry on the conversations in person.

I look forward to more of it.

Cheers,

Bill
