Big time at the Small Business Conference

I am knee-walking tired. I got through the intense first day of the COSE 2008 Small Business Conference yesterday and barely had the strength to drive home again.

But it was a good kind of catatonic exhaustion.

I climbed - fell is more like it – out of bed at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday to get to Cleveland’s IX Center for a full day of listening to keynote speakers, attending an e-mail marketing seminar, exploring exhibitor displays, recording a promotional interview about Geniocity.com by SBTV.com, sitting on a lively panel about social networking and blogging, and talking with some of the hundreds of other people who showed up. That’s a lot of opportunities for one sleep-deprived entrepreneur to pursue. 

By Friday, I’ll have a full round-up of conference events for you, including what Cleveland’s own Iron Chef, Michael Symon, had to say about starting a business and what branding wisdom was passed along by John Moore, marketing whiz for Starbucks and Whole Foods Market. 

Assuming I’m conscious enough by the end of the conference to sit up and type.
