Wow! I’ve just returned from the IVAA’s 2008 Summit in Charlotte, SC.
What a wonderful Summit. Fabulous speakers, tons of great information and contacts! I met so many people that I recognized just by names in signature blocks. Now I have a face to go with those names.
The speakers were energetic and all had great information to share on marketing, relationship building, contracts, search engine optimization, not to mention the information just passed around by networking with everyone.
The only word I can think of is “energy”. There was lots of energy from the new VAs. Their excitement fueled us all on and in my opinion, brought out the best in all of us. I know my batteries were fully recharged!
Beside the energy factor, the networking was the best. I had the opportunity to reconnect with VAs I’d met before, met VAs I’d never met but only corresponded with via email and I found a few new team members too.
I will definitely be at the 2009 Summit. I can’t wait to see what the line up is!
