SourceCon2007 - 90% say "I will be back"

I just finished reading the conference attendee comments and 90% of you said you would definitely attend SourceCon2008 with many of you also saying you will be looking to bring along colleagues next year.

From the moment that our MC, Mr Jim Stroud, walked up on stage looking very regal in a suit, only to turn around and immediately say that a suit was not in keeping with the feel for the event and proceeded to rip off the coat and tie flinging into the corner, the tone had been set.

Congratulations to Michael Notaro for being the GrandMaster Sourcing Champion!

Rather than make this about a public broadcast announcement I would like to hear from the attendees who are part of the "RecruitingBlog's community' to share their thoughts and experiences on this first of it's kind event.

Comment by Russ Moon on September 18, 2007 at 1:53am: SourceCon1 was THE event of the year.
I thought the event was superb particularly given this was the first time. It will only improve.

Thanks to Leslie, Jim, Earl et al.

Really enjoyed meeting everyone and look forward to enriching these new relationships over the year.
