Web PR + Conference

I have seen a couple of ‘reviews’ aimed at this conference & most of them have been warm-felt. I believe this is because people like to suck arse, or lick it. That depends on their preferences of course.
So, of course, you have me to tell you what I think of it, and as Rob relayed, bloggers are dangerous when it comes to ORM. “Risky, is the new safe”, ay?
I won’t be going into what was said at the conference because most of it, you guys already know, however, there were a few interesting case studies and clips shown. Session 2 & 4 were by far the most entertaining, where 2 was even more entertaining than 4. I think the day got a bit long and sleep deprivation became quite apparent.

Anyway, to be honest with you, I enjoyed Rob’s presentations a lot, he is an extremely good speaker. Entertaining, witty and well-informed. Sally’s presentations weren’t bad at all, however, I think that it was aimed more to the layman than to industry people, whereas Rob’s could have been interesting to both.

The ORM session (session 2) looked at Kryptonite and their stance toward Crisis Management, or lack thereof. The session gave some perspective in terms of how damaging online criticism could be, and it also indicated just how much power your average Jo now holds.

If you want to know more about the Kryptonite saga, a simple Google search should send you to all the right wrong places.

Oh and the food was amazing for a conference! Really nice! Oh and, Rob, I am looking forward to all your secrets being revealed Let me know when you guys are looking for software testers, I will be more than happy to partake.
