Jono always hits home for me…maybe you should have gone to his other session! He accomplished his mission if that’s what you took away from it; it’s daunting to cover expansive topics in 15 mins. Renaissance in Community Management really was spot on as was seen by the audience and questions in his 40 minute session.

It was great seeing Jono as a keynote!

Almost all I can remember of this talk is, “Come to see when I give a longer version of this talk.” It didn’t hit home with me.
