People Are Talking about LexThink

Besides Evan, who couldn't be there but whose vivid imagination basically captures the LexThink experience, LexThinkers are starting to talk about it.  I've been visiting their blogs and adding my new friends to my aggregator, and as I've done so I see nice things.   

Rob Hyndman writes "My takeaway: if only 1% of people out there in these walks of life are like my new LexThink friends, we are on the edge of an IT-driven revolution in professional services businesses." 

Matt Buchanan says: "....Wow.  Amazing.  People who “get it.” Revolution(?).  Fun.  Mark calendar every year.  Tips.  Contacts.  3:00 AM.  Energized.  Proud.  Friends.  Like-minded people.  What took me so long to find this group (billable hours?).  Change.  Change.  Change. Better.  Client.  Focus.  Improvement....."

Fred Faulkner seemed to like LexThink, but really liked the HP Tablet PCs we were using to capture the various conversations happening around the room: "I just want to say, if you have never used a Tablet, you have to try it. There is nothing cooler with using MS OneNote on a Tablet....Just knowing that what I was writing down would stay digital instead of having to re-type it out was very cool."  He wasn't one of the lucky two people who won the drawing for the Tablet PC, though. 

Jack Vinson wrote a thoughtful post that I'll link to again later.  I like the way he's thinking about collaboration and trust.  I've been thinking about some of the same things.  Smart guy, Jack is. 

Doug Sorocco was "blown away" and came home tired, hopeful, and inspired.  Cool.

Jeremy Blachman isn't heading into practice, so wasn't captivated by all of the subjects, but seemed to like meeting people and came away with some thoughts kicking around in his head about attorney-client relationships and conferences in general.  We talked a bit about the event afterwards, and I'm interested to see how those impressions take shape in future posts.   

Monica Bay posts some pictures and commends us organizers for being ambitious and hard working.  Amen.  But working alongside Matt and Dennis is usually energizing, and always lighthearted.   

Arnie Herz called it a "terrific and inspiring event" and promises to say more about the experience soon.

So far, no overt slams or snarky comments about what we goofed up.  I suspect we'll get some.  If we don't, I'll be afraid the attendees are being overly gentle with their criticism, and we won't improve as fast as we could.  I want to trust that the good comments are honest, so I hope to see some less-than-good comments as well.
