Here is the feedback that has been posted by some of the attendees:

The presentation by Mark Smith was really enlightening. Although I have been involved in social network analysis and programming, I learned quite a bit on social behavior as visualized by those graphs. 
Excellent presentation by Marc A. Smith. Quite insightful as to the future of social networks analysis. Hooray for the sociologists!!! 
Great speaker, great ideas on applying graph theory to social networks and enterprise communications. 
Below is a video recording of the first hour of Marc’s talk.  Followed by his presentation and photos from the event.

How Hadoop Enables Big Data for Every Enterprise with Christophe Bisciglia

For the first time the CIOs/IT Executives meetup was held outside of the usual venue. This time our host was Cloudera.
Over 30 people from companies like Oracle, Microsoft, Facebook, NEC and many others showed up for the event.
Christopher’s presentation has generated lots of great discussions. I hope to have a video of this talk posted shortly.

Face to Face with Loic Le Meur .

Loic did a great job to get me a bit more ‘up to speed’ on the newest twitter development and he sold me on seesmic. I really liked his ‘customer service’/professional guidelines which fused through his presentation and the following discussion - maybe a slice of European professionalism could help here in the US to make us all a bit more ‘relationship’ focused rather than just straight business focused ($$$). ”

This product will revolutionize consumer marketing. The P&G brand managment model will not work in the future. Business school courses will redone in the light of this. ”

Loic is a great speaker to the room and one-on-one. Educational, insightful, and bashful, his expertise in business and technology more than fulfilled what I wanted to get from the presentation. And I had fun! ”

The content was excellent, the environment was friendly, the meeting was well organized, and the food and wine was great ”

I very much enjoyed the session. I was amazed at the reach of Twitter and Seesmic. It was great to meet Loic. Thanks, Tatyana, for putting on such great events. ”

Feedback from the event with Loic Le Muer - the CEO of Seesmic says it all!
