Web of Change Has Come and Gone

I've been trying for a whole week to write this post, to no avail... It's always a bit crazy when an event that you've been building up to for months is suddenly over.

So Web of Change!

I really don't know where to start. For me, it was fantastic. It all came together, we had even more people than we had anticipated, the calibre of the people there was fantastic, and the weather even changed its mind at the last minute and blessed us with 4 days of sunshine (see picture proof).

The sessions were really good (see the live-blogged notes here) this year, stronger than in most previous. The most common complaint was that it was hard to chose between break-out offerings. I know I got a lot out of the sessions I attended... and I got to meet the super-star behind The Meatrix, Jonah Sachs. (Duuuuude, you're *so* internet famous!!)

Really I just don't even know what to say. My reactions are still settling, I'm still having conversations about people about it all, thinking about what worked, what didn't, and I'm also wrestling a cold I managed to get up there. Also, I'm pondering whether I'll be involved next year. I cannot imagine not being integrally involved with Web of Change, but it also might be time to pass the torch. We shall see...

A hodge-podge of random thoughts, musings, and links – sometimes about social change, sometimes about technology and the web, sometimes about yoga, and occasionally about knitting. Sometimes (because I'm a Canadian girl with deep roots in the British Isles) I even write about the weather.

I'm a yoga teacher, founder of Yoga for Geeks, and a freelance web writer, strategist, and project manager. I also help to co-create the amazing Web of Change Conference, every September in beautiful British Columbia.
