Over For Another Year
Gnomedex is over.
Sniff.
I like this conference. It’s open, honest and the attendees are involved. It’s our conference.
Congratulation to Chris and Ponzi for keeping it small, focussed and real.
This was my third Gnomedex and it was the same size as the first. Any other organizer would have cashed in. Especially as the conference is in it’s seventh successful year.
Nice work guys. I’ll be back next year.
My favourite talks? JibJib, GeekBrief.tv, Ignite (man, you should just to two days of that!), Derek Miller, Guy Kawasaki, Ronni Bennet, Darren Barefoot.
My least favourite? Well, the key and caps could’ve been vetted a little better…
All good though.
Can we do it again next week?

Agree. It was a great conference.
What would I change next year? I'd like to see several (maybe even all???) sessions begin with as short a presentation as possible (ideally Ignite-style to keep presenters on their toes, or even sans slides), followed by open discussion where all Gnomedexers are essentially on a panel with presenter acting as moderator/discussion leader for the topic they introduced in their 5 minutes.
The Q&A this year was good, but tended toward one-way responses rather than conversation. And the essence of Gnomedex is all about conversation.
