Over the years, it's become an AMAZING networking and educational event where I've had the good fortune to participate in-person, on-site at the Convention Center during the live event - but it's become additional FUN to participate via the social media "back channel chat" tools as well.
All sorts of ways to connect with friends and colleagues - old and new. :-)
The social media back channel is also a GREAT way to learn, discuss & digest if you can't be here.
How?
