Americans for the Arts Convention Blog Stats (pdf, 288KB)
We know that not everyone can attend our Annual Convention. We asked several participants to blog their convention experience through the ARTSblog. Each track was covered. Some sessions or events were profiled more than once. The posts started flowing in before Convention began.
Here are some stats about American Evolution as it happened online. Our Google Analytics looks like an earthquake hit or something.
- 8,537 page views over the course of convention
- 1,122 unique visitors
- 2:42 average time on site
What was the experience like on your end?

Wed, Jun 25…
Back at the office and reflecting on the conference experience:
This was my second conference and I really dove in head first this year. I was a volunteer (which rewards you with a discounted conference fee), presenter (gotta love Career 360), dine-around hostess (which I would have liked to have had gone better) and attendee.
My favorite things:
- Riding the train from the airport
- Meeting new people - WOO Sarah Merritt!!
- Being a member of the Emerging Leaders Council (gave me a chance to get more involved in the experience than I think I normally would have been inclined)
- Donna Brazile - I’ll spare the “boo” references, but suffice to say, this lady is SHARP!! I love her!!
- Andrew Zolli - ‘nuf said
- Having my knowledge validated (sometimes, attending a session doesn’t really give me anything NEW, but it does say, “keep going, you are on track” and I need that for where I am in my track.
- Learning new stuff - goes without saying, right?
And that’s that…looking forward to Seattle!!
See you there!

I think I broke one of the cardinal rules of blogging by skipping town on my own blog without warning. It is good to be home … to rest, reflect, and ask what someone at Convention called the “Alfie” question—what’s it all about?
What did I learn? First and foremost, to REGISTER EARLY. Staying at an overflow hotel makes it hard to blog, power-nap, or pace ones’ self throughout the days. (more…)

For reasons I’m too embarrassed, exhausted or simply unwilling to discuss, I’m seated at the Phoenix Airport at 7:00 a.m. on my way home to LA. I’m not a fan of overnight flights, and I’m extremely un-fond of three hour airline delays - especially when I could have stayed at the airport hotel and swam in the pool or worked out. Oh well. Time for a recap.
This conference rocked. For those that have been reading my posts, I can be a bit of a tough love kind-of-guy. (more…)

Time flies! It feels like the first session just started, but now its time to wrap-up. Unfortunately, I had to leave a bit early on Saturday afternoon. So sorry to have missed the Emerging Leaders Reception at World Cafe Live - such a cool space! In honor of my absence, I loaded my iPod with cool new music to listen to on the flight back to LA.
As I reflect upon the last couple of days, I can’t help but feel honored to be a part of such a great community of committed and creative individuals. (more…)
