The media conference was a surprising success. Surprising because so many attended and were very focused on learning more about independent media. Over 20 people attended all the sessions I checked out. The closing speech by Bert Sacks had an overflow room - over 70 people by my estimate.

The blog panel had five excellent speakers from Seattle who really knew their craft. It was an honor to moderate. As promised to the attendees, links to the panelists' blogs are posted - see the top right under the flag. Whether you attended or not, I encourage you to check them out.
