The keynote panel at FONSI 2011.

 

WOW what a day! An excellent day with excellent people!

First- the tweets: thanks to chirpstory we have tweets from FONSI all on one page!

Blogs: Already a few attendees and presenters have blogged on what they took from the day:

Drum Cafe really rocked and inspired the house.

The keynote panel Trends in Philanthropy came away with some gem comments. Dubby Arbel of Midot proclaimed that “those running complex organizations should be well educated and well compensated.” Much applause there.

Dan Brown of eJewishphilanthropy thanked us for creating the “most gender balanced conference I’ve been to in a long time.”

We’ll be adding a summary of our own soon—here is some initial feedback:

Thank you for yesterday’s conference (“summit”). It was well organized and well-presented. The place was great, the Drum Cafe was really great.

It was brilliant! Kol Hakavod. I know what it takes to organize such an event, and only those who have done one can really appreciate the extremely hard work involved and the continuous crisis after crisis to be solved.  You and your colleagues pulled off a great event. You all can be very proud of staging such an event and filling up the theatre

You guys put together a great conference.  I don’t know what when on behind the scenes (there’s always something happening behind the scenes 🙂 but from my perspective as an attendee it came off as being well organized and smoothly run.  It also afforded me great opportunities to network.

If you were there, feel free to comment! We look forward to extending the conversation with lots of follow up and discussion!
