Some of the presentations were a bit too "salesman-ish" for my tastes. But many of the speakers presented great ideas about how wedding vendors like me can better communicate with wedding couples through the ever-growing new social media -- blogs, Facebook, Twitter, even YouTube.
Among the best were two of the brains behind WeddingWire, which in three short years has set the standard for wedding websites. Not only were the presentations of CEO Timothy Chi and Chief Marketing Office Sonny Ganguly densely packed with useful information, Tim and Sonny came across as personable and sincere. And did I mention smart? Hearing them and meeting with reinforced my already favorable impression of WeddingWire.
As explained on their FAQ page:
WeddingWire is an online wedding community for Engaged Couples, Newlyweds and Wedding Vendors to connect with each other. WeddingWire provides cutting edge technology to the wedding industry through social networking, local vendor search, comparison shopping, and wedding planning tools.
See also their "About" page for a sense of what makes WeddingWire different. If you're not already using WeddingWire, I recommend you start doing so. It has so many user-friendly features. And it has a nice, clean look -- not overly flashy like some of the more blatantly commercial wedding sites.

I agree 100%. I also attended the WeddingMBA conference in Las Vegas and thought that their sessions were the most beneficial. I've returned with a new commitment to my Twitter, Facebook and Blogs... Best of luck to you!
I also attended WMBA and thought the conference was fantastic. My favorite part was meeting other professionals in the wedding industry. I walked away being inspired by these succesful individuals.
