Still don’t know why I haven’t croped the Dynamics part of the conference logo, might be because MSFT is a client of ours, might be because I was too lazy… Anyhow, few weeks ago I received an invitation to attend this conference as a blogger and to be honest with you, the speakers line up looked too interesting to not go.

Yes, I’ve already seen most of the speakers and even got the opportunity to have diner with most of them but still it’s a great line up so I thought it was worth a day off to see if they’re still presenting the same talks that they used to a year ago what new they have to talk about.
First of this incredible line up of speakers, Mitch Joel started the day with a solid presentation backed with very interesting numbers, quotes and stats. Having seen him couple of times in the past years (Infopresse events, Search Engine Strategies conferences, Webcom,…) I would say he  still delivers…

Following Joel, we had Avinash Kaushik and Seth Godin, both were  great as their reputations. Then I had to leave, guess that not paying for a ticket gives you the option to leave earlier, anyhow please read this following post as it gives a good summary of the whole day. I was looking for more recaps of the day but most of what I’ve found was promotion posts giving away free tickets. Please let me know if I’ve missed any of posts about the day.  Yeah one more thing, a conference without wi-fi in 2010… Seriously?
