Speedgeeking

Rocky and Kristin’s newest Lotusphere
session, "Speedgeeking" was hailed as a great success by all
the speakers and (I believe) the attendees.  The premise was simple.
 There were 12 speakers at tables.  We had five minutes to present
a session to people at their table.  A bell would ring, the crowd
would switch to the next table, and the speakers would start again.  It
was (barely) controlled chaos.  I attempted to give my "Adminblast"
30 tips session in the five minutes.  This meant, if you do the math,
that I gave the same presentation 12 times in the hour.  I managed
to complete it once, but by the time it was over, we were exhausted.  This
was a far less formal session, in an open ballroom in the Yacht Beach club,
even with a free bar (yes the speakers were allowed have a drink… we
just didn’t have time to!).

As tiring as it was, this was a great
session.  I would really hope this is on again next year (but not
for any longer… we won’t survive it).
