Highlight Midwest

Pics or it didn’t happen! (A little Highlight Midwest picspam.)

by Christina Maki on October 30, 2008

As promised, here are a couple of photos from the Highlight Midwest reception last night at the Kauffman Center here in Kansas City. Due to the fact that I lack a *real* camera (well, one that doesn’t suck, anyway), and a lot of my iPhone shots didn’t turn out, there aren’t many. If you want more photos, go bug Zach Cobb. He’s got all the good shots.

Our panel made of awesome, from left to right: Zach Cobb, Bo Fishback, Dusty Davidson, Jeff Slobotsky, Matt Secoske, Zena Weist, Adam Coomes, Aaron Webb, Nathan T. Wright, and Jason Walsmith.

Bo Fishback asks the panel a question. Look how serious and pensive you all look!

Adam Coomes answers a question, and everyone looks on with rapt attention.

Zach Cobb talks very animatedly about social media. (But then, Zach ALWAYS talks animatedly!)

I’ll get the video of my presentation up as soon as I get the link. :)

Highlight Midwest 2008

by Christina Maki on October 29, 2008

So I have a meeting tomorrow morning at 10, and I really should be getting ready for bed so that I can get a good night’s sleep, but I’m just SO jazzed about today’s event that I have to crank this post out now. Highlight Midwest was just too awesome for words!

The un-conference portion of the event was held during the day at Kansas City’s Record Bar. I have to say, I was skeptical at first about it as a venue for a conference like this. But I’d never been to a barcamp-style meetup before, so I also wasn’t really sure what to expect. After having experienced it though, I can now say that I really like the format and will be looking for similar events like it in the future.
