“If you only have time for one clue this year, this is the one to get: We are not seats or eye­balls or end-​​users or con­sumers. We are human beings — and our reach exceeds your grasp. Deal with it.”
— From “The Clue­train Man­i­festo,” Harper Collins, April, 1999.

“One of the best kept secrets in Amer­ica is that peo­ple are aching to make a com­mit­ment, if they only had the free­dom and envi­ron­ment in which to do so.”
— John Nais­bitt, author of “Mega­trends” and “High-​​Tech, High-​​Touch”

My ini­tial intent wasn’t to write this report. It’s the result of a post I was envi­sion­ing for my blog at MichelFortin​.com. The prob­lem is, the blog post be-​​came so long that I felt a need to do either one of two things.

I had to either: edit my post and shrink it down to a bare min­i­mum (prefer­ably around 500 words), or break the arti­cle down into sev­eral installments.

My friend Armand Morin’s Big Sem­i­nar V was a blast!

As usual.

It was the biggest Big Sem­i­nar ever. The pic­ture on the left is the humon­gous stage and light­show. A mas­sive 36′ stage and a 16′ cat­walk. Pretty freakin’ amaz­ing, if you ask me. And with close to 400 peo­ple in atten­dance, it was indeed the biggest one ever. (Next time promises to be even big­ger, accord­ing to Armand.)

It’s been insane!

In fact, I promised a friend of mine in Wind­sor (Rick Beneteau) to visit him while down there, but Frank’s let­ter was such a huge affair, I had no choice. I was stuck. And now, I’m exhausted. (And that doesn’t count the fact that I’m writ­ing two other big projects — one for John Reese, and another for Armand Morin.

But now that the big­ger dust has set­tled, let’s roll.

The Big Sem­i­nar by Armand Morin was a hoot!

I had a great time, finally met a lot of peo­ple I wanted to meet, and it was a prof­itable oppor­tu­nity — watch for some inter­est­ing joint ven­tures com­ing soon!

In fact, it was so pow­er­ful, I was pounced on by hun­dreds of peo­ple… Plus, I obvi­ously didn’t really get a chance to take a lot of pictures…

But here are some:
