RecruitFest! is here. Oct 7-8 in Boston.

I have a confession to make. My bio does not look like China Gorman’s and it probably never will.

Here is written what hath transpired this week in RecruitFest! 2010:

  • We announced track leaders Gerry Crispin and Charlie Judy
  • We made a new Facebook Fan Page, promptly ruined it, and then put it back up again
  • I watched 500 Days of Summer and thought about how we could use the soundtrack for RecruitFest!
  • Jason came up with an idea for a new eCommerce platform run on Facebook.  Um…
  • We talked to Leanne Chase about putting together an awesome Tweet-up the night before RecruitFest!

So there’s some of my week. It was a good one and we’re all very excited to kick RecruitFest! into high gear. Next week, look for more details and track leader announcements starting on Monday.

I’ve had some excellent conversations with folks about RecruitFest! coming up in October. The excellent conversation part usually happens after these questions are answered in the first 25 minutes:

  • What’s RecruitFest?
 

Chances are, there is no need for this article. If you’ve attended recruiting events or participated in online discussions, you have probably gotten the chance to hear a little bit of what Gerry has to say. If you’ve had the opportunity to meet him (he’s been involved in RecruitFest! since the beginning) you’ll know his best qualities: he’s an exceptionally warm, interested person who invites and sparks intelligent conversation.
