I was the only one from my Institution that was able to attend BbWorld this year.  Since I report to the Vice President of Information Technology I decided today to create an Executive Summary regarding the Blackboard World 09 users conference, what I learned from the various sessions, keynotes, and visiting with other users.   I geared this towards things that would pertain to our Institution and how it relates.  I also shared it with the Associate Vice Presidents and also the Instructional Services Staff who work with the Blackboard LMS and faculty on a daily basis.  

I highlighted:

 Announcements of features, partnerships, open standards, MobilEDU, opening up the database and more.  Since we use the Bb Transaction system along with the Connect Ed mass notification system and the LMS, I put things into perspective with that in mind.  I also shared what other institutions are doing and the success and challenges they were facing.

Since you may have been one of a few who were able to attend Bb World this year, consider creating a similar document, and share it with your supervisors and colleagues.  It may help to show how valuable your attendance at the conference was, and provide them with valuable information they can use to move things forward.
