Well put, Heidi. I especially agree on the point you make about there not being lazy, freeloading or negative people there. THAT is extraordinary, and it rocked.

Nice one Goose – This was my first GeekRetreat (I hope I will be able to attend others) and I too walked away feeling not only inspired by incredibly hopeful about what we can do as an industry. Knowing that there are others out there who care and want to make big changes possible is more than enough to motivate myself to do more.

Lets get that Geek School going!

Nice post goose, although I can’t imagine you really dreading.
As (I think) you suggest perhaps the first acheivement of GeekRetreat, and a very important one is that it does change people and their attitude. I felt truly different after the first one and am warmed to see others experiencing that too.
