Here is some of the feedback we got for this year's event.
Please feel free to add yours.
"Last year's show was a bustling success. This one puts that one to shame... Office 2.0 is the right show in the right place at the right time..."
—Harry McCracken, PCWorld
"I loved the iPhone and thought the conference was absolutely top flight this year."
—Shel Israel, Global Neighbourhoods
"There are some amazing things being discussed here, and I think there’s enough of a business presence (rather than vendors and those who live in the Web 2.0 echo chamber) for some changes to take place. There are also some astounding new products on show."
—Stephen Collins, acidlabs
"Awesome conference!"
—Robert Duffy, Intel Corporation
"Splendid!"
—Shiv Singh, Avenue A | Razorfish
"There is certainly no shortage of innovation in which to immerse oneself."
—Clint Boulton, eWeek.com
"Congratulations on such a successful event. It was truly inspiring and very well organized."
—Scott Gavin, Pfizer
"I just wanted to thank you for an awesome conference. The network was so good I wanted to move into the St. Regis. I met lots of interesting people, heard about lots of interesting companies, products, and technologies and just generally got a lot of good fodder for future articles."
—Lee Sherman, Fawcette Technical Publications
"Thanks for an awesome conference. It was beautifully orchestrated."
—Maggie Tsai, Diigo
"Very classy conference."
—Matt Howard, SMBLive
"I found the conference very valuable."
—Doug Neal, Computer Sciences Corporation
"There were at least 100 people representing Global 2000 companies. And they were not just there to pick up the free iPhone or PlayStation you got as a registrant, they were there working the problem. They were not there considering IF they should adopt some social media. They were even past the how part. They were working the problem of how to make social media programs more strategic, more effective, more responsive to customers and collaborative internally."
—Shel Israel, Global Neighbourhoods
"The conference was very impressive and well organized, with the participation of leading vendors, entrepreneurs, analysts and bloggers."
—Eran Aloni, Clarizen
"Thanks for a great conference!"
—Paul Gustafson, Computer Sciences Corporation
"Thank you for a wonderful event to showcase Covad's 2.0 approach to broadband."
—Andy Abramson, Comunicano
"I had a great time at the Office 2.0 Conference."
—Adam Nash, LinkedIn
"I just wanted to say thanks again for a spectacular conference experience. I greatly appreciated the opportunity to speak there, and hope I can again next year. The conference was a premier event, and I'm coming back to work with a lot of exciting ideas. Lastly, the iPhone experience was amazing. You'll be glad to hear that because of this my next computer will be an iMac! And I'm going to dig more heavily into your Office 2.0 Setup tools, I'm hooked."
—Scott Mark, Medtronic
"Thanks for hosting such a great conference last week. I was surprised by how many people were still around at 5 PM on a Friday to hear from a bunch of VC's."
—Jay Das, SAP Ventures
"What a great event!"
—Steve Guengerich, BSG Alliance Corporation
"Congratulations on making the conference bigger and better this year."
—Eric Hoffert, ShareMethods
"Very nicely done!"
—Daya Baran, WebGuild
"The Office 2.0 conference officially opened this morning. Lots of buzz, lots of wandering aimlessly transfixed by the iPhone; a number of attendees were instead toting around Playstation 3 systems. It's a 100% paper-free conference. Handouts to the extent they exist will be provided through the Office 2.0 Conference wiki. No business cards; users are instead encouraged to provide their info through the Etelos application. Even the badges are plastic vs. paper. WiFi works. Overall very favorable initial impressions."
—Jesse Wilkins, Informata
"Congratulations for a fantastic event!"
Zvi Schreiber, G.ho.st
"I think the conference/experiment itself was truly "2.0" in the sense that everything about it was discovered through interactions between participants. For example, someone from Cisco taught me how to transfer contacts between iPhones. People were showing each other how to access the videos. The community was in charge of disseminating the information. We also did last minute on-the-fly integrations: the Veodia channel was added to the Etelos home page after a pod-to-pod interaction between the 2 companies. This is what collaboration is all about. Ismael, I was also impressed with your calmness with so much going on at the same time. Kudos to you and May. Well done."
—Guillaume Cohen, Veodia
"The conference was really, really great. The best part is that you have really created a true community, which I saw, felt, and participated in this year. That's quite an accomplishment. Last year was fun as an experiment and because of aesthetics. This year was fun because we saw the first bits of success in the space, and could participate in that together."
—Jason Lemkin, EchoSign
"Congratulations for putting together such a great event—I really enjoyed the show."
—Josh Fraser, CallWave
"I was fortunate to have attended the Office 2.0 Conference. I thought it was fantastic. I really enjoyed the presentations. The venue was great, and I appreciated the simplicity of pod only, non-booth, non-paper, non-clutter! I also loved the size – small enough to mingle and network without getting lost in the mob. Thank you for all of your and your team’s hard work to put this conference together. You have set a new benchmark for others to follow."
—Melinda Venable, MindJet
"What a fantastic conference you put on last week!"
