THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to all of the great people who spoke at #UnTech10, both in-person at the Renaissance Hotel in snowed-in Washington DC on Thursday and via webinar on Friday.

For the in-person speakers, thank you for braving the #snOMG to get to the hotel, and especially thank you for letting Lindy and me mess with your presentations, throw you in at the deep end, mash you up with other speakers, make you condense your 75+ minutes of content into 30 minutes or less, force you to make content up on the fly, and do all of this after ten pm the night before the day of. You have no idea how much we appreciate your willingness to go with the flow on this and I HOPE you agree that, at least until we hear otherwise, it all worked out incredibly well from the audience (live and virtual) point of view.

I’d like to extend an extra thank you and hug to Amadie Hart, Reggie Swanigan, Andy Steggles, Sterling Raphael and TJ Muehleman – you guys had, I am sure, really fantastic social media-related presentations prepared for the Tech Conference, and we knew it was, in one sense, a crying shame to lump all of you together into the soc-med mosh pit (aka the fishbowl) to duke it out amongst yourselves – but we knew you would make a great conversation out of it, and we knew that the whole experience of the Unconference was going to show off – better than any single presentation would have – what the power of social media is all about. We knew you would “get” that. Thank you so much for rolling with it and doing such a great job!

To all the webinar speakers and hosts of virtual content on Friday, a HUGE thank you also for extending the learning online and enabling a whole second day of awesome content to happen. I hope you will let us know how each of your webinars went and any feedback you may have heard about unTech10 overall or these formats. I know for a fact that several people who were actually not able to register for Tech for budget reasons did attend virtually all or part of both days, and that is a truly amazing thing. Thank you for that. Awesome!!

And, of course, this being an UNconference, the active and vocal participation of the audience both live and virtual was such a huge part of it. Thank you to everyone for being game!

Our association community rocks. Unbelievable. Huge, huge round of applause and kudos to everyone for joining us to be part of this great two days!!
