We Will Get By, We Will Survive
__ The Grateful Dead
Last week Scott Silverman and I had the pleasure of attending our Chicago and Columbus Regional Dinners. It was truly an inspiring experience to see the power of the Shop.org community at work and doing what it does best — allowing our members to help each other improve their business and achieve their goals.
At both dinners the conversation never lapsed and we had a great diversity of eCommerce “newbies” and seasoned veterans who shared with the group the wisdom of their experience. If I may risk jinxing it, I felt the general mood of the dinners to be a lot more optimistic then in recent memory. Things are obviously still challenging, but our members were not wallowing in misery — instead they were sharing how they are succeeding and finding opportunity through adversity even in a recession.
I would like to thank our sponsors at the dinners (Right Now Technologies in Chicago and eBillme in Columbus) and invite everyone to check out our list of Regional Dinners for one near you. I will see everyone in Boston on June 15!
