Martin, I’ll take that as an endorsement for CrowdVine. We’re about to launch an official Conference product next week, so I’m happy to hear it worked for you. I totally agree with you about the power of making connections. The things you hear in the sessions are going to be out of date next year but the relationships you make could last your entire career.

Yes, right, especially the workshops were just “presentations” in disguise, so they had to inevitably disappoint …

Althoug the venue and the organization of the event could have been better: I enjoyed the Web 2.0 Expo a lot. In my opinion this Expo was not for the ultimate geeks but for people who wanted to get an overview and some insights – but may be I’m wrong.

Personally I recognized how important networking and conversations are for such an event. And the workshops should have been real workshops. To quote Inga von Staden:

WHERE WAS THE COLLABORATION? It felt like an American invasion!

So it was a first step to Europe. I think the next step / year will be a better one
