I just got back from my 19 hour visit to Orlando where I spoke at the [tag]Rocketplace[/tag] Conference presented by [tag]AsWas[/tag].
The one day I was able to observe made me wish I was able to attend the entire event. It was full of good content and great people. My favorite part of the day was having lunch with fellow eBay [tag]Education Specialist[/tag]s Sharon Ware and her husband John, Marlene Gavens, Marcia Cooper, and Harvey Levine. I got to hear Harvey, Marcia, and Sharon speak about the "A-Ha" moment that occurs when a person finally realizes they may be on to something with eBay. It was actually quite inspiring.
As usual, listening to others talk about [tag]eBay[/tag] really gets me pumped up. I'm usually the one talking, so it's nice to hear it from other people. It's the same reason why my sales spiked after sitting through the 54th eBay University class in a row. I knew the material, I presented it, but listening to Marsha Collier or Griff, or any of the eBay U presenters was an affirmation and encouragement.
Maybe as Education Specialists we should hear each other teach from time to time. It has a nice effect.
As for AsWas and the Rocketplace: small beginnings this year. But Debbie Levitt did a great job of organizing the event and keeping it on track and I hope they do this conference again.

Hello Steve,
It was great to meet you at the RocketPlace conference! Since you did get home first, it is no surprise that you beat me to the punch by posting an article about the conference before I could even get to my desk. I should have something up on my company blog allbusinessauctions.com/blog and the Trading Assistant Journal soon.
It was great to hear your very good tips on SEO optimizing an eBay store and utilizing all of the great features of an eBay store to its best advantage!
Hopefully we can work together in the future, I think Debbie may invite us both back to speak.
Keep in touch!
