Darn, this was a long day – and perhaps, somewhat disappointing, at least based on the Internet Marketing conference and Diggnation party I attended tonight.

The problem with the IMC Conference is there was no internet connectivity and I could not hear what anyone was saying who was speaking – but there were some good networking opportunities – I just found I could not stay very long (an hour or two); a longer description came from WebAnalyticsBook in a post titled the Mobile Internet Marketing Conference.
Diggnation party was packed and I waited about 45 minutes to get in – but once I was in – I was just one in a few thousand people in dark, noisy space – I stayed a little more than an hour then left and came home.
While both events sounded really good, I ended up finding both somewhat different, and less, than I expected – but still worth attending. Here’s a movie of both events I made today.

The Internet and sound issues were both related to the hotel and are something we haven’t experienced before. We won’t return to that hotel.
Despite those two issues we got some really nice feedback about the topics, speakers, and networking.
