WPPI was such a blast this year.

One of my favorite things was the Fast Track Blogger Lounge as well as the Fast Track Jelly on the second floor. None of it could have happened without a crew of folks chipping in.

Between The Bui Brothers, Skip Cohen of WPPI, Amit Gupta of Jelly and Photojojo, the amazing volunteers, the free WiFi, the incredible Jules Cafe cookies (thanks ladies) and cozy lovesac section (SFW), I think we had it pretty good! I can’t believe we were able to offer that for free. So cool.

You can see how my friend Aaron saw it on “The Big Picture” above.

What I’m really wondering though is if you were there (or even if you weren’t), what kind of experience at a trade show could we create next year that would absolutely blow your socks off? Wanna help us make it a reality??

Share with us!!

What would make a space like that remarkable, given that it’s a trade show? No from-the-stands, drive-by, color commentary please… only ideas that you’re willing to make real with us! What I mean is if you have a suggestion, picture yourself helping us make it happen. If it passes that leadership test, share away! We want you to play a part!!

Bless you guys and thanks again everyone!

When I was in San Francisco a few days ago on my way to Sara and Andy’s wedding in Healdsburg (check back tomorrow for the images and slideshow), I had the chance to hang with my good friends Amit Gupta of Jelly & Photojojo, Ron Dawson of Cinematic & F-Stop Beyond as well as Frederick Van of Adobe. These things are such a treat for me because it’s like an ideation free-for-all. So inspiring to be around these guys. So many more fun things coming…

Near the end of dinner Frederick asked me if I’d do a quick interview about my book for his blog. I finally spill the beans on when everything is rolling out. I’m so stoked!
