When I’m at conferences, so much is going on that it’s difficult to take it all in.
As such, I’ve been reviewing the Twitter feed about the hashtag from yesterday (#GrowSmartBiz) and I’m aggregating my top-20 tweets from the conference in this post.
These are in no particular order, and disclaimer: I picked one of my own tweets, so clearly there’s a bias.
I also included a few of my personal favorites at the end of this post. Enjoy!
