SES Latino - Miami - Very Successful Conference

Posted: July 12, 2006

SES Miami was an incredibly successful conference. Yes, it was only a rumored 500 or so attendees. Yes, there were just two tracks. Yes, the rooms didn’t hold over 125 or so people (and that was the larger of the two rooms). However, it’s been a long time since everywhere I looked, someone was having yet another relevation.

I arrived on Sunday in time to watch the World Cup finals and hang out with a new crowd I didn’t know much about. While sitting down listening to people I had never met (ok, so I knew about a dozen people on Sunday, but the other few dozen and I didn’t even always share the same language) my preconceived notions I had about Latin American were completely blown away. It’s a much more complex (and exciting) market that I had imagined.

It’s been a while since I went to a conference and just absorbed great information hour after hour. It’s not often that I see people walking around with glazed looks on their faces trying to integrate foreign thoughts, twists on traditional thoughts, and having ideas that they just want to rush home and implement. And then the next hour starts, and there appear a new set of ideas. While, if it were just the new conference attendees (there were a lot of first time SES attendees) that were having these thoughts, the conference would have been successful. The fact that these new ideas were even coming from the ‘experienced’ SES crowd is what made it incredibly successful.

Thanks to Nacho, Danny, and Incisive for putting on a very successful, enlightening show.

FYI -
The powerpoint presentations will be online shortly.

Hi Brad,

Regarding my last comment (previous post). I guess I misunderstood the “Beta” part. Well. the new new Blog with old content looks nice and clean.

Only a bit too much Adsense Ads for my taste. You might want to consider removing the Adsense “Column” to the right and add the referral buttons and some smaller ad units into the navigation column to the far right. Just a thought.

I saw in your calendar that you are speaking at SES San Jose. I am trying to make it to that one. I might get a chance to say hi and buy a beer or so.

Cheers

Carsten
