From metrics to funding, you've covered it all. I particularly like the fact that there are sessions on WOM & Customer Service too.

That's all a startup could ever want. I guess if any of the speakers could talk a bit about community & its management that'll be great.

so Dave you advice metrics as the starting point ?
