Thanks for stopping by. I knew I should've gone to Hal's video session. :-) Radio play by play is the next life! Live wire = ability to express passion for life/work. I hope to see you around as well. Thanks again for a great session. Hi Angela!

Thanks for stopping by. I knew I should’ve gone to Hal’s video session. :-) Radio play by play is the next life! Live wire = ability to express passion for life/work. I hope to see you around as well. Thanks again for a great session.

Good grief, you summed up the entire conference in this post with color to boot! I can skip the next conference and just read your recap!! Well done, my friend. Let me echo your sentiments about the conference. I enjoyed it a great deal. Thanks for the kind words about my presentation. I don't think I've ever been called a "live wire" but I think I like it!! It was fun and I met some great people. I thought Hal Goodtree was great as well, and Andy Beal knows his stuff. I hope to see you around the Triangle. Oh and that food was awesome!

Second, thanks for such a great session. Third, thanks for the Trackur 3 month trial. What a great offer! I've told everyone I talked with today about your expertise and your book. Hopefully you'll get some more clients and sell some more books from that. The deeper I dig into this area's digital/social media space the more I discover the absolutely awesome talent we have in the Triangle. I hope I get the opportunity to talk with you in the future. Best of luck to you as well and thanks again! Hi Andy,

Thanks for stopping by. I like a man with a self deprecating sense of humor. :-) Folks, Hal was the presenter for that video session that I didn't get a chance to attend. Here's a link to his LinkedIn profile where you can contact him for any of your needs: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/hal990" rel="nofollow">Hal Goodtree, Goodtree and Comapny</a>. Hal, I can't begin to tell you how torn I was on those two sessions. I really wanted to see your presentation and hear what you had to say. Video, as you probably well know, is going to rule it all eventually I suspect. I'm hoping that you'll be back next year to do an encore presentation. Do you do any talking on this subject around the area at all? Hi Hal!

You made the right choice about the third session, btw. Heard the video thing was deadly boring :) Thanks for the excellent synopsis, Gregg.

Thanks for stopping by. I know that I can speak for everyone that I talked with there. You did an awesome job! Broken ankle and all. :-) I meant to mention that in the post. Folks, this woman showed up with her leg in a cast and it didn't slow her down a bit. And yes, the crew at NCCU were wonderful as well. It was the perfect venue for an event like this and I overheard a number of people who thought so as well. I'm betting that 250-500 is not unrealistic for next year's event. Thanks again for all of your hard work! Hi Danielle!

Danielle Baldwin Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:45:24 +0000 http://www.greggmorris.com/?p=1299#comment-240 Thank you so very much for your overall extremely positive comments about WordCampRDU. It was something I worked VERY hard to coordinate and I had some INCREDIBLE help from @damondnollan and his crew at NCCU. I could not have done it without those guys and the guys from Full Throttle. I did want to let you know though, that the reason the event was extended to 6pm was because I ended up with so many EXCELLENT speakers that I wanted to make sure I could include them all and make the WC experience as well rounded for everyone as I could...so in order to sneak in a few more people, I extended the day to 6pm. Also, Matt's speaking time was of his own choosing. I had him earlier in the day but was told via email a few weeks before the event that he would prefer a later time like 4pm. I must say I was worried about it at first but, I would have to agree with you - I don't know if it was because Matt is such an awesome guy or if it was because everyone was on a sweet tea high, but I really enjoyed hearing him speak later in the evening too! I am really glad that you had such a great time and it means more than you know to have such a great write up about my first ever event. Thank you and I am looking forward to next year too!
