SOBConis an amazing conference that happens annually in Chicago (+ 2 more cities in 2012).  Even more importantly though, it is also a year round community that exists online (and IRL) thanks to the dedication of Liz Strauss, Founder and Terry “Starbucker” St. Marie, Co-Founder; plus the many people who are committed to the generosity, connection and magic that is SOBCon.

SOBCon is the Cirque du Soleil of business strategy events. It’s an interactive think tank that moves ideas to action — packed with business strategies and social media immersion. You will walk away with new ideas and the energy and network to implement them.

Recently, I have been trying out List.ly, a neat list new building tool. Thanks to Nick Kellet, Co-Founder List.ly,  for introducing me to it.  I am excited that Nick and I will be meeting IRL this May at SOBCon – though we are already hanging out a bit via Skype. I was able to put together a pretty cool collection of posts, stories and videos that speak to the brilliance of SOBCon. I managed to easily find 50 items, though I know there are many more out there! I hope you enjoy the posts below and even more; I hope you will add to this list.  It is open and it would be great to see it grow over the coming weeks and months. Please DO jump in and help build it out!

I invite you to be part of SOBCon! If you plan to attend either Chicago or Portland – I look forward to meeting you then!  In the meantime, do enjoy this wonderful collection of posts and stories about the magic of SOBCon!
