Giant screens everywhere, slick lighting and signage, multiple cameras

Post by zihadhasan019 »

Don't run away just yet. While Connections is theoretically designed as a user conference, I went in specifically with the outlook of a platform-agnostic email marketer in order to evaluate the content and value of the conference for you, dear reader. Yes, there was a fair amount of ExactTarget rah-rah, but bottom line: if you're interested in email marketing, there were great lessons to be learned (and awesome parties to attend) regardless of whether you actually use ET or not.


Since interesting and actionable takeaways are wha email lists australia t we all want to get out of conferences, let me take you through a rundown of the sessions I attended, as well as some of the things that garnered large, scribbled asterisks or frantic underlines in my notes (yeah, I'm an analog kid, I take notes with a pen and paper, do I lose my membership in the club?). DAY 1 The first day was all about keynote presentations. I have to take a second to call out the production values of this seminar.

The main ballroom where all of the keynotes were held was incredible. to re-broadcast the speakers onto screens, lighted backdrops, the whole nine. I've been to a good handful of conferences from the tiny to the huge, and this was by far the slickest, most smoothly run, and most impressively produced I've ever seen (apparently coordinated by Seattle-area event firm HB Stubbs). All other search industry shows (SEOmoz included) should strive to meet the quality and attention to detail ET puts into Connections.
