@scott with four days until show time, I think the only adjustment that you should consider is to enlist lots of help connecting people the old fashioned way. You might get an idea or two from our first post on Extreme Networking Good luck!

LOL – thanks!

I was more hoping more for what we’re weren’t doing well so I could adjust!

Thanks very much for the kind words – it’s been hard work but worth it.

@scott Thanks for sharing the link to your event! It definitely looks like you are pushing the envelop on few best practices for conference design and networking. Very cool! If you don’t have time to scan Scott’s URL, here’s a few things that caught my eye.

1) You can quickly click on the Speaker Twitter list and follow that list. So simple, yet so smart!

2) Intimate Lunchtime with speakers at local restaurants (hosted). Register for your seat in advance. Awesome!

3) Interesting hashtag use – #likeminds hashtag, or switch to #liveminds for the back channels. Is the backchannel reserved for the bad kids?

4) Published open attendee list for advance connecting.

I’m sure there are more that I missed. There’s so much to consider when looking at innovative conferences like this. The key is not to overwhelm the attendees with too many or conflicting tech options. Scott I think you guys have done very well!
