To my friend Jon Arnold: SocComm is right for these times
This blog post is in response to the blog post my friend Jon Arnold wrote from afar about SocComm.
----
SocComm brought together about 175 people from across the United States and Canada. If that is how you define a "localized" audience, cool. Relative to the diversity of the people who used to come to the VON events, you made a good point. But in reality there was nothing local about the content or the people who attended SocComm. More than half the audience traveled to be there.
SocComm was an example of a time when "Content needs to be experienced." We are a defining moment in time in the future of communications and if you think that SocComm was only about social media, I think you missed the point about the first event. But no worries since there is a follow on event currently being planned. Never in the 14 years of producing events did we ever have as a diverse group of speakers and audience than the 34 people who spoke at SocComm.
Presence was a big part of SocComm. And the future of presence and the state of presence as it effects the Media / Internet / Communications / Entertainment industry was explored and will continue to be explored. Presence was spoken about, not always by name but it was always there. As was other intangible elements that are helping to define the future of communications.
SocComm was entertaining. It was fun. And it was raw in the sense that this is just the beginning of what happens next in a world where broadband is widely available and people are migrating away from using telephones as a primary communication tool. In a world where communication systems are just software applications, anything becomes possible and those in the communication business who deny this will see themselves become marginalized over the next 5-10 years.
In hindsight you may discover that there was more meaningful content covered in one day at SocComm than you will experience just about any other event in the communications space. Having 14 years experience developing relationships and content does have its advantages. But if you are looking for a reunion of friends who are trying to find themselves and define their own future, I know of events where you can find this.
Talk to the people who were at SocComm and I believe you will start to feel that you missed out on something special that has the potential to define for the next generation a space which fits my need of something where "Fear, Greed and Disruption" lives.
As far as coverage, the buzz from twitter is documented. We were the #1 search term on Twitter at various times on Tuesday. (Thank you twitter team - you rocked!)
As far as blog coverage goes, sometimes you need to look for things to find them. I'm not sure what tools you use to track block posts but this is what I found in about 5 minutes of searching.

I'm a diabetic with poor circulation and so my toes almost never warm up.. I ordered these uggs boots on sale hoping they would help and they did the job pretty well. The inside is very plush, my feet even feel close to sweating when the air con is up and the house is warm. The upper is a little tight, I wouldn't recommend these for larger people.

I read through most of the posts you linked to and the other but I'm finding it hard to see what the event was really about. It's about the importance of communicating socially rather than broadcasting right?
