Tagline:

Agents of Change

Briefing:

PdF 2011 was a full house! We’d like to thank our energized and active community of attendees, sponsors, speakers, and volunteers – together, we pulled off one of the most engaging and informative conferences we’ve had in our eight years of PdF. The feedback we’ve received so far suggests that everyone in attendance took something away from our conference, whether a new lesson, a new idea, or a new friend. If you couldn’t make it to PdF this year, be sure to check out Micah Sifry’s conference wrap-up post on techPresident. We also encourage you to check out our video archives, where you’ll find videos of our keynote speakers. Thanks again for your continued support, and stay tuned for more on PdF 2012!
