It was great to see everyone come out for the most recent WebInno event last week.  The feedback I heard was positive, not just on the size and energy of the crowd, but in particular with this event on the quality of the main and side dish demonstrators.  So a special congratulations goes out to the Audience Choice Main Dish and Side Dish award winners Good2Gether and Yamli, respectively, as they faced especially tough competition for the audience’s favorite.

As usual, there were a number of attendee bloggers, both old and new, commenting on the event.  Pito Salas, who attended the very first session with demonstrators back in 2005, was “quite impressed [his bold] with the attendance and the quality of the people presenting…  The gathering was quite crowded and the buzz was very loud, lots of dynamic discussions going on all over the place, people trading war stories and comparing products.  It was stimulating and fun, and I plan to go next month again.”  Former Main Dish demonstrator Matt Douglas “hadn’t gone to the last few WebInno group meetings” but was “pleased to see some of the improvements that… had [been] implemented…  After the main presentations, I had a chance to say hello to some familiar faces, and meet some new people.  I was pleasantly surprised at how many new people were at the Web Innovators meeting last night.”  First time attendee Cory Wallenstein said, “I got a chance to attend the Web Innovators Group in Cambridge last night, and it was an absolute blast!  This was my first time attending, and the experience was very, very different from other events I’ve attended in the area… There must have been at least 500 folks in attendance… far larger than any other non-conference event I’ve been to in the area, but it didn’t FEEL like a large, impersonal event.  It was very open and social.”  And lastly, blogger Don Dodge recently gave a tip of the hat to the Web Innovators Group in his Boston startup events roundup.
