In the Valley
I was in the “Valley” on Monday and Tuesday this week. What a couple of days! First on Monday, Chris Heuer’s Social Media Club workshop entitled: Starting the Conversation was held at the SAP office’s in Palo Alto. That was a really good event. It was my first Social Media Club event; although, I’ve met Chris before at the Community 2.0 event in Las Vegas but it was really a pleasure to see him in his element.
In addition to Chris; Shel Israel, Giovanni Rodriguez, Jeremiah Owyang, Debbie Schultz and Brian Solis were all great presenters. Brian covered the event so well in this post that I won’t even try.
I also got the opportunity to meet, albeit briefly, with Jen McClure from SNCR and we agreed to try and find the right way for SAP to participate in the society. More on that as it happens.
Tuesday morning I had breakfast with Shel and Giovanni at the Original Pancake House in Los Altos. What a great place! Giovanni, Shel and I spent the morning discussing the SMC club event from the day before and where “conversations” are headed we also discussed and debated our favorite topic — PR. There is so much to write about regarding that conversation that I need to think about it for a while.
Then it was off to Podtech for lunch to discuss a project that I want to work on. Giovanni thought that Jeremiah would be just the one to talk to. Boy was he right, I outlined for Jeremiah what I was thinking and he visualized it almost immediately. I won’t go into detail about what it is here – but once I get it closer to reality I promise that you’ll read about it here first!
Anyway it was a great two days in the valley!
it was a pleasure to have you for that ‘Web Strategy’ session. Hope to talk to you soon.

Jeremiah, we’ll be talking sooner rather than later! Now that I’m back from a week of vacation.
