I too look forward to seeing what Karen and Mike cook up next year. I may meet with Mike in the next few weeks to give him some feedback. I'll follow up if I learn anything interesting. Hi Kelly,

Thanks for your comment. I too look forward to seeing what Karen and Mike cook up next year. I may meet with Mike in the next few weeks to give him some feedback. I’ll follow up if I learn anything interesting.

What a great conference. The food on the first day was great but you're right about it lacking on the second day, however that slight issue was overshadowed by the substance of the conference and I left fully satiated with knowledge and inspiration!! Thanks Opportunity Green, can't wait for next year!! OG25 was so cool - heading out to eat with my to-go ware and my Core water bottle :) I had such an amazing experience this year and made so many awesome business connections! What a great conference.

You raise an issue that I was going to mention but pulled at the last minute - price. I thought last year's price was a little steep, but a good value in retrospect. This year was thirty percent more expensive than last year with a similar format and a comparable speaker line up. There were a number of added features and some really good conversation this year, but was it thirty percent better? Several attendees I spoke with over the weekend thought not. It'll be interesting to see next year's line up and format. Thanks for the comment. You raise an issue that I was going to mention but pulled at the last minute – price.

You raise a good point with the issue of focus. It does seem like the event is trying to be all things to all people. I don't mind when a guest or speaker can't show, but so little or no mention or explanation is a lack of transparency. There was no way in the limited time I had to write the post to cover every aspect of the show. There were many good features, but also a few shortcomings. I hope Karen and Mike can make improvements for next year. Hi, thanks for the comment. You raise a good point with the issue of focus.
