I found this while going through the archives of your blog, and just had to throw my opinions on open source software on the table too. As a proud South African I am a great fan of Mark Shuttleworth's and his Ubuntu Linux creation is looking like a formidable challenge to Microsoft's Windows, whatever incarnation it might be in.

Then we have Open Office kicking Microsoft Office butt, and Firefox and Thunderbird doing the same to IE and Outlook. The bottom line is that the Microsoft model is fast becoming obsolete, and I foresee that Open Source will kill them if they can not adapt.

Chris, congratulations on your acquisition and best of luck on all of your conferences in 2009! I work exclusively in the meeting and convention space and early indications are that 2009 is not going to be a great year for that industry. Between the government sending a message that meetings are wasteful spending and corporate America squeezing travel and marketing budgets, we all need to do a better job of communicating the value of face2face gatherings.

From your post, it sounds like you are offering a unique educational and networking opportunity. Additionally, the sponsors/vendors get to meet prospects that will certainly go through their pipeline faster than distance selling. Like many successful conferences, your event will deliver a tremendous amount of value.

Meetings and conventions are responsible for over 15% of the North America travel and hospitality industry spend (one of the largest industries in our country). There are hundred's of thousands of jobs being cut in hotels, restaurants and other related services. If you are a supporter of meetings and conventions and the value that they bring to business, please sign the petition at www.keepamericameeting.org Also, keep going to conferences and shows...grow your professional network, get smarter, research new products and grow your business. I certainly will!

Stellar peeps to work with, to be sure, and innovation helps with event changes as well as technology - and you certainly hit that moving target often!

Would love to be at Dallas, Boston, California events, but am here in Midwest. Chicago would be North Coast, yes? =)

Chris,
Sounds like a GREAT conference. Wish I could attend. Hopefully those of us who aren't able to attend hear all about it on your blog. Thanks for the great info you always provide here!

Looking forward to being a part of this one, Chris! I second Tracy on the DC show too :)

Chris, this will be a totally rockin' event! I just heard David Meerman Scott talk about World Wide Rave last night at Bryan Elliott's event here in San Diego, and he had the room buzzing. Also excited that Brickfish, my new gig, will be there to share ideas and hear ideas. See you soon!

I actually think there are a lot of marketing lessons to be learned from the open source movements. I wonder if we ought to target a pioneer in the open source community to speak at one of our events.

Another movement there is a lot to learn from is the Grateful Dead. I wonder if we could figure out a way to invite one of their early managers to talk about how they created a rave at one of the future events.

Chris, it's nice to see you folks branching into open source. Best of luck!

Nice job lining up speakers, Brogan!

This thing's gonna rock.

If you have plans to add cities to your tour, you should definitely consider Washington, DC! I made the trek up to Boston last October. It was well worth the trip, but I think a lot of more C-level executives and those hesitant to adopt inbound marketing practices would be willing to attend if the event was closer--and with all the buzz about Gov 2.0, transparency, and collaboration in the new Federal administration, I couldn't think of a better city to add to the list.

Ask David Meerman Scott where he got his WORLD WIDE RAVE pin and his awesome belt (www.eymergeddon.com)

Harley-Davidson? You might have someone from Harley there? That would so be worth going for me -- I'd love to get a hold of someone there seeing as how I'm a woman and I ride my own Harley ;) Got all the gear and everything. That would be a serious iron-butt to ride across the US to get there :D Great work and I'm staying tuned for your next surprise!

@Carol and Deb -

There will be plenty more female speakers. They just haven't confirmed yet. Five more are in the queue as we speak, but have to consult their travel.

My record for females is trending between 40-60%. Will hit it for sure.

Chris - Would love to discuss inbound marketing using an online newsroom at the conference if you're still looking for presenters. I'm doing so at next month's Social Media for Communicators conference by Ragan Communications and PRSA (see http://snurl.com/a1eav).

Deb Brown — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 07:14:38 -0000

I'll wait a couple of days. Want to see what you have up your sleeve. Maybe more female speakers?

Re: Boarding Party

Bryan Eisenberg — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 07:14:29 -0000

Sounds like a great event.

Re: Boarding Party

Leslie Carothers — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 06:38:09 -0000

Agree with Carol's comments. Chris. I was so excited at first go through that I missed the fact that there are very few women involved. There are so many good ones - connie bensen and amber nasland jump to the top of my mind immediately.

Chris,

I like the "actionable steps" approach. Unfortunately I will be traveling abroad part of March and all of April. Beyond folks twittering the event, will you have some formal way for those who could not attend to engage (audio transcripts, online video recaps, etc.)?

Sounds like the place to be. So far as I can see it looks like you've pretty much got all of the planets perfectly aligned... save one, and that's for me (and a great judge of talent) to work out. I hope to see you in April!

Awesome Chris, but why so few female speakers? You can do better than this :)

Chris:

I am attending @izeafest in Orlando in October thanks to your notification about it and the fact that you will be speaking, but this event with the focus on "actionable" items and broader scope speaks to me, too! Time is what I really need!

Are you coming anywhere close to MSP this year with anywhere close to the same incredible cast of speakers?
