Dave Winer said of Robert Scoble, “he actually called me to talk about my role at the conference, a practice I had never seen before (and one which I have adopted for BloggerCon). And then, over the months leading up to the show, he’d send emails to all the speakers, sometimes just with a link to an article he thought we’d find interesting.”

Reading Dave’s comment I said, that’s how I want to treat the speakers at our conferences and workshop.
