Given the economy, and restrictions on travel in many organizations, the Enterprise 2.0 conference still managed to present many stories from "real people" doing "real stuff" under the banner of "Enterprise 2.0". I did a quick pass through "by day" view and thought it would be nice to call out these individuals (as well as their respective organizations) and thank them for taking the time to come to Boston and share their experiences. If I missed anyone, or mis-categorized someone, my apologies (correct me via comments). With so many post-event commentary talking about the over-abundance of vendor and industry expert presentors, perhaps they failed to notice the sessions involving these speakers. Could the conference had more end-user case studies? Sure - of course. That's an easy critique to make. Help us (disclaimer: I am on the board of advisors for the conference) by having end-user organizations submit proposals. It's not as easy as it sounds.
So again - thanks to the individuals (and organizations) below who stood up in front of people and told a story. Sharing hands-on experience helps others trying to move their own organization forward. Thanks also to those that also participated in the "unconference" sessions. Without "real stories" from "real people" - there would not be a conference!
