Comments from participants
The first WOMMA summit was one of the most impactful conferences I have ever attended. The event brought professionals from a wide variety of fields together to share knowledge, best practices and spread the word about the dynamism of word of mouth. -- Idil Cakim, Burson Marsteller
A first-class information-packed event with lively, relevant and intelligent discussions! I was particularly impressed by the quality of people that this meeting attracted. -- Emanuel Rosen, Author, The Anatomy of Buzz
I’m a better, more knowledgeable marketer for attending the WOMMA Summit 2005. The Conference gave me access to not only listen to the leading WOM thought-leaders, but also the opportunity to interact with them. Through the keynote speeches, main room presentations, and breakout sessions, the conference covered both the art of WOM and the science of WOM. Time well spent for this WOM evangelist. -- John Moore, Brand Autopsy
You provided inspirational leadership around developing things like ethics and making people see this can be big. I took away many inspirational ideas, quotes, and questions to think about. -- Paul Rosenfeld,
Intuit What a life-changing experience the WOMMA Summit was for me! In my life as a marketer of live entertainment, I've had to rely on word-of-mouth marketing to circumvent small budgets, but it really has never coalesced for me into a full-blown strategy until this Summit. Kudos to all of you who put in on -- I'll be waiting eagerly for the next installment. -- Nancy Akers, Texas Arts Marketing Network
Totally awesome. I learned more, and made more good contacts, in those two days than I have in the past four years of total immersion in the topic of WOM! -- Keith Bates, Keith Bates & Associates, Inc.
What an excellent kickoff to the future of Word of Mouth! As an entrepreneur with a new start-up venture, I have spent a lot of time trying to embrace the power of the customer to make our business a better place to be. This conference really hit the spot in bringing it all together and I hope to be able to bring my own case study to next year's conference. My kimono's flapping in the wind. -- Laura Bennett, Embrace Pet Insurance
Great job, guys. I have heard many positive comments since coming back from Chicago. WOMMA has started numerous conversation strings in my office. -- Jon Berry, NOP World
This was truly a historic event!! Our company has been involved in the strategic use of word of mouth marketing for almost 9 years and the WOMMA Summit was a valuable opportunity to hear what many other cutting edge companies have been doing in this ever-growing segment. -- John Finegan, Beck Ag Com
I thought overall it was an excellent experience. The schedule was daunting, but well worth the investment . . . I would give the conference an "A". -- Walter Good, Epicenter Marketing
#1 best thing - The vision. My thanks to all who gave freely of WOM ideas that worked well for both the customers and the company. I was VERY pleased with this first event and impressed that you pulled it off so fast. -- Mary Hunt, Interpret-Her
Wonderful summit! It was a great opportunity to confirm some of the things I've been thinking about for a while - and a lot of new things as well. -- Bill Robinson, Mennonite Mutual Aid (MMA)
Congrats to the WOMMA team for a very successful inaugural WOMMA conference! The conference attracted the thought leaders in the word of mouth marketing space and senior level managers which led to great contacts for Friendster. Looking forward to the next one! -- Jim Scheinman, Friendster
The WOMMA Summit was the first industry event I have attended that had the challenge of both defining its industry as well as advancing its cause. It was successful on both fronts. It offered compelling speakers, an interesting mix of attendees, and, most importantly for an inaugural event, an open and candid forum to debate best practices. -- Brad Spirrison, Midwest Business Inc.
Thank you for everything you did to make the WOMMA conference so successful. Thanks for lining up such great panelists and for the fun, energetic way you oversaw the conference. I think it was a smashing success and I look forward to future conferences. -- Greg Stielstra, Zondervan
I’m still pumped! -- Kerry Stranman, MotiveQuest
The WOMMA Summit in Chicago was exceptional and one of the most productive I've attended in a long time. The quality of the speakers and the attendees made it professionally valuable and enjoyable to boot. Thanks again! -- Paul Battaglia, Slack Barshinger & Partners
