Firefly, Lightning and a Little Learning in Charlotte

June 15th, 2009 by Aaron Kahlow

The night prior to OMS, the thunderstorms roll in as does the OMS crew… As one from the East Coast, I have to admit to missing the power of the these storms.  Luckily, our happy hour meeting spot at Cosmos was right across the street from the hotel and we did not have too much to worry...

Atlanta OMS Brings the Heat to Online Marketing Summit

June 11th, 2009 by Aaron Kahlow

Atlanta OMS was hot… both 91 degrees outside and information flowing inside.  At one point at the end of the day, I walked in to all three of our concurrent sessions to hear actual conversation happening between the speaker and multiple audience members in more of what became a round table...

OMS Cleveland: It really does Rock!

June 10th, 2009 by Aaron Kahlow

Ahh, Cleveland… the city that seems to bear the brunt of all the Second City jokes.  Some deserved some not.  Deserved are those that make fun of the lack of population in city … that is true.  There is no one in the city after 5pm except on E. 4th Street (where we went for [...]

OMS Houston & Austin: Dick Cheney vs. Herb Kelleher…who would you friend on Facebook?

May 24th, 2009 by Aaron Kahlow

The past 2 days brought OMS in to Houston on Wed and out of Austin on Thursday in what was a jam packed 48 hours of good ole Texas fun and some down home education to boot. After making the 3 hour drive from Dallas, the OMS crew arrived to the JW Marriott with high anticipation [...]

OMS Dallas “Worth the Price of Admission”

May 19th, 2009 by Aaron Kahlow

It was OMS’s first ever stop in Dallas and turned out to be a great start our Texas swing this week.  Although I think the Monday morning coffee had not quite kicked in during the opening presentation (i.e. my joke did not get the normal hardy laughs..), the day went into full gear when we...
