Happy Mother's Day!

I arrived back home to spend Mother's Day with my children after attending Sex 2.0 this weekend. I would like to thank the many people who helped make it happen including Match who was the organizer this year, the amazing session leaders who filled my head with so many thoughts and ideas I was exhausted by the end of the day, Sextoy.com for sponsoring it, Melissa Gira who stepped in as keynote speaker and did an awesome job, but most of all to Amber Rhea who without her vision last year Sex 2.0 would not be possible.

I loved this conference. It gave me so many new ideas and thoughts but what was so fantastic about Sex 2.0 is being with a 150+ people who had many of those same thoughts and ideas as me. I met a lot of those people this weekend and will be writing about the sessions I attended.

I had concerns going into it this year and there are some things I would like to see different for next year. One is the google group. I think the concept of the google group is great but I don't think it was fully achieved this year. From what I understood from people who attended the first Sex 2.0 the google group last year had more input about the actual conference where as this year seemed to have mostly information about events surrounding the conference. I think the concept of transparency is good and the google group makes that possible. The idea that anyone can propose a session for others to comment if they would like to attend or not for me is one of the things that make Sex 2.0 what it is. I'm not sure if I just missed those posts in the google group or not but some of the sessions this past weekend I didn't see discussed in the google group.

The other thing I would like to see next year is that the sessions be expanded to at least one hour. There is so much to discuss and talk about that it felt like it needed to be just a little bit longer to give us the full opportunity for that. Perhaps having a questionnaire for attendees to fill out now with their input on Sex 2.0 might be a good idea.

There is talk of Sex 2.0 moving to Seattle next year and I am hoping that happens. I would love to visit and meet so many of my online friends from out there while attending Sex 2.0 again. I also think moving it out to the west coast would give many others a chance to attend who were not able to make it to DC this year. This is an amazing conference that brings together a large group of people with the same interests and allows us to explore those and learn from each other in the day.

Look for more posts this week but right now I am going to spend this gorgeous day with my children.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!
