Open Letter to Google & the Zeitgeist Conference

Posted: November 4, 2005

Google has asked attendees of the 2005 Zeitgeist conference to not blog and write about it, and based on the information shared, I can fully agree with their request.

Being an off-the-record conference, the was an air of openness and idea sharing even between very strong competitors.

It’s this type of spirit, when one isn’t competiting, but cooperating, that ideas are born, and projects are fostered.

In the normal business world, such a conference would be very difficult to pull off. The press has their spin, the bloggers have theirs, and attendees have yet another. In a world where what happens at Zeitgeist, stays at Zeitgeist, a different air is fostered.

The conference was very amazing. Some great speakers and attendees. I consider myself lucky to have been apart of the conference.

A thank you goes out from all the attendees I’ve talked to who wish to pass on their deepest thanks to Google for the experience.

Hopefully, Zeitgeist 06 will be as much of a success (and an invite will follow…).

Thank you, Google.

To the conference organizers, I would name some of you by name, but don’t want to put you into a public light. Hopefully, you all know how you are. You each deserve a pat on the back for pulling this off. It was well organized, handled, and came off flawlessly (at least to the attendees).

Share and Enjoy:
