I couldn’t make it because I was attending Blog Business Summit 2005 in Seattle (an excellent event). But it sounds from attendee write-ups as if the New Communications Forum 2005 in Napa, CA Jan. 26 - 27 was also very useful. (Wish they’d kill that awful music that pops up on the event’s home page… argh!) Here’s a cogent comment from Neville Hobson on Opportunity knocks for corporate communicators. He made a looong trip from Amsterdam to attend but says it was worth it. And a great round-up of blogged comments on Day 2 of the Napa event by Guillaume de Gardier.



Hi Debbie,
The New Communications Forum was terrific, not only for the corporate PR folks, but for the rest of us in attendance, as well. I’ve been posting reactions on Metaforix@ and will have more to add in the next couple of days.
BTW, there was actually a way to mute the music, which seemed to be gone last time I checked. In any case, that was a miniscule blip on the screen of a well-designed, well-run, and enjoyable conference. Kudos to Elizabeth Albrycht and Jen McClure for a five-star production.
Best, Lois
