Liz,
VERY cool stuff! Major props out to all of the great bloggers who hosted as well as participated in the discussions. It was a great idea that I’m sure a lot of people would like to see more of.
Special thanks to YOU, Liz! I know you must have been bouncing off the walls trying to keep up with everything, so major appreciation to you for the effort!

Thank you, Liz, for all of the hard work. It really seemed to pay off. The presenters were great and the comments were excellent. I learned much.

What a delicious day! Incredibly diverse, and rich and something to come away with from every session.
A truly inspired idea.

Mark McGuinness said
Thanks for inviting us all Liz, I had a great time, it was just a shame I had an early start today so couldn’t stay up for the late night (in London) sessions.
Robyn McMaster said
Liz, all the bright stirrings in your wonderfully creative brain make thrilling realities for the rest of us. What fun it was to particpate in the Virtual Conference. And, I know that’s only an Nth degree of the excitement there’ll be at the SOBCon. Thanks so much for inviting me to participate.
Rick Cockrum said
Liz,
Thank you and all the organizers, speakers, and participants for the taste of SOBCon. It was a bang-up day.
Char said
That was a fantastic day of sharing! I wish I could have been there live for all the sessions. You should do it again - once you recover from this one.
ME Strauss said
Hi Aaron,
Thank you. You called it right. It was almost as if the day were live for all of the behind the scenes things to attend to.
It was well worth every second!
ME Strauss said
Hi Tariq,
Like SOBCon will be . . . the exchange is what makes the day the questions take the discussion to a whole new level. Everyone wins and learns each other’s skills.
ME Strauss said
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for saying that — rich, diverse, and with a takeaway. That’s the standard that we’re after always.
ME Strauss said
Mark,
Your contribution was felt both as a speaker and a commenter. You helped make the day!
ME Strauss said
Robyn,
We were all delighted to have such a power mind sharing with us. Gosh I learned a lot.
ME Strauss said
Rick,
We wanted everyone to have chance to taste the way a great conversation carries over into an organized event. I’m must delighted that you brought your insights to the table.
ME Strauss said
Char,
That could be the coolest accolade of all! Thank you! But like I said you and the others made the content come alive and get real.
Ellen Weber said
Liz, you inspire us with far more than a mind alive to ideas, leadership, people and talent.
You inspire us with your unique approaches to life and to learning. This fun-filled day proved it. For the parts I could get here for I have stored a treasure! Thanks for your gracious ways!
Terry Starbucker said
Awesome Liz! Thanks so much for hosting this event. And thanks to everyone who participated. See you in Chicago!
Carolyn Manning said
What can I say, Liz? The day was awesome! And it was only a taste of the real thing? Thank you so very much.
ME Strauss said
Thanks Ellen, for your part in making the day such a success!
This proves that when you structure it correctly, people teaching and learning from each other — it can be an amazing experience.
ME Strauss said
Hey, Terry,
It wasn’t me! It was everyone who wrote a single word or even read one.
ME Strauss said
Hi Carolyn,
Yep. Imagine the same energy all in one room with people face to face!
Easton Ellsworth said
Awesome, everyone! Can’t wait to see what SOBCon brings.
ME Strauss said
Hi Easton,
It was so great to see you and Dan Smith both here participating. You added so much wisdom of your own to the body of knowledge that we made together.
Francie said
Just stoppin’ in to add my “Thanks!” Only got to attend a brief portion, but I’ll be catching up on some of the discussions.
It looks like it’s value-packed!
ME Strauss said
Hi Francie!
You bet you’ll find plenty to read and digest. It was a fabulous learning fest.
Delaney Kirk said
Liz,
This was such a great idea. I didn’t get a chance to participate but did read some of the questions/answers afterward. Do more of these forums! Wish I could attend the conference…maybe next year! Are you going to do a live blog from it?
ME Strauss said
Hi Delaney,
I wonder whether I could contain myself long enough to do a life blog from it. probably.
We want to make it so that folks can write in on the LIVE open comment night.
