The house hushes. All eyes are on the pacing Rives, who suddenly pauses and faces the audience. He then unleashes a spontaneous, lyrical prose that magically encapsulates the core meaning of what you’ve just heard in the presentation. Rives leaves you speechless. With simple, funny, poignant analogies, the man with the one-word, one-syllable name blows you away with his effortless ability to nail that bottom-line sentiment.

Great post, Michelle! This sounds like a great event. I don’t think it would be on my radar if not for your awesome writing skills.

Michelle, I totally forgot that you were writing for Webtrends, then I was reading this and I was all, “This writing is really, really good. Who the he…oh, right! It’s Michelle! That makes sense”
No offense to Justin, Jascha, et al.

Amber,
I’m looking forward to hearing about all the wonderful ideas that come out of it, too. Getting personally-relavent information out of customer intelligence is a tough process. This conference is built to encourage a collaboration of ideas, and if you’re there wearing your Cyborg Anthropology cape and flying around sharing your thoughts on the issues, it’s bound to be a great event!
Cory,
I’ll have you know that as I write this I’m blushing, like a big red, over-ripe tomato. Thank you for the wonderful compliment!!
