Mr. Mackey explains some of the challenges faced at the outset, "As we were planning Bahamas Social Media Summit, naysayers exclaimed that 'Bahamians wouldn't get it', 'You're to early with this', It's too expensive...' A look at these photos reveals a different story; a highly attentive and responsive crowd of Bahamians who at no point during our long day dozed off or disrupted the proceedings by talking amongst themselves or were there any cell phone ringing...you could hear a pin drop. And at the end of it all we were eagerly asked, when is the next one?"

Bahamas Social Media Summit co-chair Mitch Carson dubs the Summit an overwhelming success and went on to say,  "Dave Mackey and I have already committed to planning the second of our series on Maximizing Profits through Social Media to happen later this year, perhaps in October. However, Nassau has expressed such a large degree of interest that we will take the Summit there as well."

Carson and Mackey outlined some of the benefits that attendees of the first summit will receive;

• Password protected access to the videos and slides of all the presenters
• A Bahamas Social Media Summit Card that ensures discounted access to all subsequent Summits in the series that will work at all locations in The Bahamas. This card will also provide added product purchase discounts.
