Omniture Summit 08 Coverage

It was my first Omniture Summit, and was an amazing experience. It's always a great pleasure to see, hear from the industry experts. It is great to meet folks whose blog you read, listen to Seth Godin! and also Lance Armstrong. 

Although i admit i could not meet all of them i wanted to! but it was great networking at Omniture Summit 08. I tried covering the summit live but with so much less time and so many things to do! i had to wait to come back to India ( after a long 28 hr flight) to write about my experience and share some of the important session learning from Omniture Summit. 

Here's the Series of Posts i've written on Omniture Summit 08.
