The 2008 Elite Retreat event is already over. This years event was truly different. It was the first one that was 100% operated by the "ShoeMoney" staff and wow its not easy ;). Tigh did a awesome job coordinating everything and Dr. David Klein also stepped in and helped us out a lot. Here are some of the attendees reviews so far: Barbara Boser - Elite Retreat Scott Hendison part 1 and part 2 Zac Johnson - Elite Retreat Networking and Fun Times in San Francisco Justin Golf - recap - Was it worth the $5000??? John Hasson Elite Retreat 2008 Review Al Carlton Elite Retreat First Impressions Gyutae Park Is elite retreat worth 5k? (these are the ones I found so far. If I missed any please ping me and I will add them) I have added pictures from this years event to my gallery already (thanks dk!) and will be adding them to the official Elite Retreat site soon. I have also been getting a lot of questions about having more Elite Retreat events and also making it less expensive and open to more people. If we do another event the last thing I doubt that will ever be changed will be the price point and the cap of only 35 attendees. I really believe that is a big part of what makes the event so special. As far as having more events .... honestly 1 per year is all I really want to deal with at this point. I want to thank all the speakers. They all did a awesome job! Andy Liu was really the sleeper of the bunch. Andy has always been a behind the scenes guy and I think he had everyone in the room taking notes on the amazing stuff he has been able to accomplish. Andy was also very open about exactly how he did it. I know I have about 2 pages of notes myself ;) So big thanks again to all the speakers: Neil Patel Brian Clark Andy Liu Aaron Wall and special guest keynote speakers: Guy Kawasaki Matt Mullenweg And to the sponsors! Thanks for listening and paying for all the cool things I wanted to do at this years event!
