Our event in Des Moines last week generated thousands of tweets, to the point that the #socialirl hashtag briefly hit Twitter’s worldwide trending topics.
We wanted to share some of the great insights captured in those Tweets, along with some of the blog posts from attendees recapping their key takeaways, and are pleased to include a selection of links below.
We also want to take another opportunity to thank our presenting sponsors CDS Global and Catchfire Media for making the event possible, and for the tremendous support they both gave. We’d also like to thank local event partners Iowa Innovation Gateway, Central Iowa PRSA, Startup City Des Moines, and Downtown Des Moines, as well as the Science Center of Iowa for the great venue and incredible onsite support.
Thank you to each of our speakers, Geoff Wood, Liz Nead and Ken Miner, and of course a very special thank you to Brian Solis for the valuable insights and inspiration.
Finally, thank you to the 230 attendees who were part of the event, traveling to Des Moines from a five state region and representing more than 80 different businesses and 17 schools, colleges and universities.
