SOBCon08: Who Could Ask for More Value Than That?

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 9:02 am

SOBCon07 Was Something Special

SOBCon08 Logo50

From the minute the first of you showed up at the Sofitel. It was like magnets. No one was alone. People found each other and started to talk. A few found us and immediately the conversation began. We just watched as people jumped right over the small talk to get on with knowing each other.

You even said thank you in a most awesome way.

Generosity of spirit is viral. Picture 110 people in a hotel ballroom, all generously sharing business ideas and secrets, building on each other’s creativity, and offering their experience as a gift. I can’t remember the last time I was in a space where that kind of spirit abounded on such a large scale. Conflict tempts us to hold our cards close to our vest, to be cautious, to be stingy with our warmth and spirit. That stinginess begets more of the same. Generosity of spirit is so much easier…all we have to do is make the choice to do it. Thank you, my fellow SOCcon-ers.–Tammy Lenski

This year had to be even more. How could we offer less than that?!

SOBCon08 Magic — It’s What Happens In One Room

We set out to build a conference that had all of the values of a great blog. Thank you, Brian Clark for pointing out what Tony D. Clark said about that.

Thank you, too, to Chris Brogan for a great peek at what you’ll be talking about — one of the best social media documents on the web.

The value only begins there. . . here are just a few more presenters.

Every one of them is handing over something

Then, of course, there’s you. You’re coming together from Scotland, England, Denmark, France, Mexico, and Canada. That’s going to be one incredible room of international experience.

Models and Mastermind Teams that build to a Plan. A support system that goes deep and lasts long — maybe a lifetime. Who could ask for more value than that?

Are you coming? Can’t wait to see you.
SOBCon08 is May 2,3,4 in Chicago. Register now!

    Hey, I heard that MC is a pretty decent fellow too, and you never know what he’s going to say (or sing, for that matter!). :-)

    Much love,
    Terry

    I just want to see that MC guy dance again. :)

    Liz, excellent word choices.

    In your headline, “value” - this conference will be so incredibly worth any time and money attendees spend on it.

    In your post, “magic” - there’s no better way to describe it. The atmosphere was electric last year. This year I think it will be downright shocking.

    Jumping out of my skin to be there.

    Liz - you’re so right, we did just jump right over the small talk. Because we knew there was richness in the room that small talk would only sidetrack.
