In a relunctant admission of poor timekeeping, I just wanted to share some thoughts on a couple of events I was lucky enough to attend last Thursday.
The first MeasurementCamp of 2009 kicked off at 10am, hosted by E-Consultancy. It was good to be back, having missed a couple, and it’s always great to get the chance to tackle hypothetical examples in a group and share ideas and methodologies. Plus I got to sit next to BBC Working Lunch blog/social networking star Annie Mole… The only downside was the sheer number of people present meant introductions took a hefty chunk of time and left the case study discussion in a bit of a rush.
The other event was the Every Single One of Us Powwow, held at the ICA. It’s probably the most inspirational and exciting event I’ve ever attended – partly because it can be hard to grasp every aspect of ESOOU in words, partly because of the incomparable dynamo that is Jonathan MacDonald, and also because there was a real sense of purpose in the room.
It also meant I got to see, and occasional meet, some cool virtual people in the flesh, including WhatleyDude, Alfie Dennen, and the Herdmeister himself.
In all seriousness, pretty much any one of the people that spoke on the night would have been the highlight of most other events, so having them all in one room was pretty interesting. As was a mid-presentation hug from Jonathan…
The site has more details, videos, slides, interviews and details on everything to do with esoou.
