Just got back from Blogworld, and the sessions were just fine, despite the fact that Michael Arrington was not on a panel in which the materials had him listed as a presenter.
Michael is catching a lot of flack for his “surprise” non-appearance, yet he publicly posted in the Blogworld Facebook group long ago that he was unable to attend.
As a long-time conference organizer, I am sympathetic to any conference that’s managing an 80-plus speaker roster. It’s a huge logistical task. How about we all just give everyone the benefit of the doubt?
I had a great time at the show, despite us all being human.
