Mom 2.0 Summit Recap

This video highlights exactly what so many folks think, "Um blogging, hmmm you may be up to something..."  Time to come into the light people!

I had the privilege of attending the MOM 2.0 Summit this weekend.  It was full of interesting speakers and fun attendees with whom I coulda just chatted with for days.  It was well worth the money.  Kudos ladies for putting on a great party with a tone that was just perfect for fun and getting business done!  I learned a lot and am now trying to figure out how I can squeeze another 3 hours a day in to actually implement all these brilliant ideas.  I'm down for next year for sure. 

Key take aways from the Mom 2.0 conference:

1. More and more companies are finally getting that Moms are powerful and do MOST of  the buying at home - duh!
2. You can wash your clothes with fruit/seeds from Indonesia - fascinating.  City Mama swears by them.  (They worked like a champ!  I tried them last night.)
3. Fun to talk up close and personal with PR folks and corporations.  We all have loads to learn.  I especially liked the small group discussions, where you could spend quality time talking pros and cons of PR and blogger pitches.
4. You should call other people on their shiitake often - per Guy Kawasaki.
5. That it IS possible to take the conversations you have with your blogger friends in the hall ways of BlogHer or online CAN be transformed into a panel presentation.  IRL bloggers really kick ass!
6. Fellow bloggers are open to sharing their knowledge and brilliance freely. Someone taught me how to update my tweetdeck, figure out a new SEO strategy and offered me a free membership to Weight Watchers!  All things I desperately needed! Yes, the universe does provide:)
7. The Four Seasons lived up to what I thought they would be -staff and service was impeccable.  Plush pool and fancy gym - not that I partook in either of those activities - but I saw lots of people doing both.
8. YANNI! enuf said.
