Hi Laurie,

Great observations! I've had similar experiences at conferences too. I even met people at the Underground who did not know any big name in the industry other than Yanik whose conference they were attending. Yes! They'd never heard of all the "gurus" and big names that we've had in our consciousness for an internet eternity.

This just goes to show the enormous number of people entering this niche on a regular basis. And they seem to be entering at all levels. While some start buying and consuming products, training, coaching and getting on lists, etc. Others seem to start of with high end conferences.

It is exciting and interesting to meet people from all fields at these conferences. Thank you for sharing your experiences and tips.
