Annie Heckenberger, the creative force behind the recent BlogPhildadelphia un-con has posted her recap, aptly titled: I'm Ready to Talk About BlogPhiladelphia.

The success of BlogPhiladelphia should be attributed to the people who participated. I still can't believe that 270 pre-registered and we had to turn people away. Even better, I am thrilled that more than 250 people showed up. The biggest measurement of success in my mind, is the community that was forged at the event. All of these people who knew "of" each other - or didn't - had the opportunity to meet in person and collaborate, share and learn.

I echo many of Annie's thoughts. I've had a BlogPhilly recap post in draft for a while now and haven't pulled the trigger yet. Overall I think the event went great and it really puts the pressure on me for BlogOrlando :-)

One of the things that these 'local' events do is bring together a number of folks that have never met in person, that's the special thing.
