I can’t. So many. People kept on giving me things - words, smiles, advice, links, practical suggestions, a smile, hello, recognition, a moment, a song, a book to read, each one was worth my trip. My take away was this: there is *no* substitute for meeting people in person, for connections, for learning, for business, for name recognition, for friendship. I’m so glad I gave myself permission to go there. And I’ll be back. Joanna PS Did I mention the great hugs you guys give too? Thank you. One highlight, you mean just one? I can’t. So many.

We could use the time, that's for sure!

Would love to have more time with you. Guess we'll just have to pick it up on Twitter, email and by phone. Best take away...the memories. And what'd you think of David Bullock? <strong>communicatrix,</strong> First off, you simply rock - except that you're not following me on Twitter - which I can overlook...for now. Truly, it's been lovely meeting you through our blogs but even better to get the communicatrix vibe in person. Anything specific you got from the presentations that knocked your socks off? Were you wearing socks? <strong>Lisa,</strong> Definitely look for me next year. I'll be posting other pieces from the event soon. Some great video/audio stuff that's pertinent to running a business. Hopefully you can get something from the event here. @Stephen,

I live in Green Bay "boo" transplanted from Chicago and would've loved being back in the city. I also hear from my friend Stephen Hopson, and Karen Putz, it was a blast. I could have had someone to sign with.(Sign language) and for the so many connections I didn't make, they tell me I would have fit right in!! Next year fer sure. Hi Dawud,

And Dawud, you are, if possible, even BIGGER than I'd imagined! And a great hugger, which I suppose goes without saying. Thrilled to meet so many people I'd only known online; almost equally thrilled to meet so many of *their* friends. And yes, friends for life. Maybe even neighbors someday--I'll have to get to work on that one... It was a glorious weekend, to be sure. And Dawud, you are, if possible, even BIGGER than I’d imagined!
