I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. It was a fantastic opportunity to network with peers at other organisations and in other industries and hear and discuss how they are responding to challenges and incorporating Artificial Intelligence.
Professor Julia Hobsbawm was very engaging and her speech was very pertinent and enlightening. I very much enjoyed the discussion.
The event was incredibly well organised and hosted. The chauffeur service helped the evening run smoothly.
The incredibly generous hospitality of organising the event at the Ritz was much appreciated.
Thank you for a very enjoyable evening.
The event was extremely well organized, lovely venue, and networking with other industries peers was quite interesting.
NetApp Speaker was very good at engaging with the audience.
Look forward to attending other upcoming events.
Thank you very much for the invite to the event.
In my opinion, it was worth to come and get some new ideas and potentials to discuss.
Furthermore, it was so convenient and well organized to join!
The event was very good and with interesting conversations.
– Offering a vegetarian choice is very important. Thank you!
– Speaker and presentation: interesting content, not long torp (do not do longer)
– Guests: good quality of the guests.
– Super location
– Communication was very well done: Straight to the point and clear details.
Many thanks for hosting me. I really enjoyed meeting with you and other guests.
My feedback for the event would be as follows:
– The size of the gathering was perfect. Gave enough opportunity to network and get to know people.
– The food, wine, service was perfect. What else can you expect at the Ritz :-)?
– You and your team were gracious hosts and took great care to facilitate the meeting. For example, I was on my own for a few minutes and you quickly helped me to connect with a couple of guests at the event.
Thank you and your team for the perfect organization of the event.
Wonderful location, well-selected participants with diverse backgrounds and valuable exchange and networking.
Many thanks for the opportunity to provide feedback.
I thought the event was a fantastic and very good use of time.
The venue, quality of participants and content – all spot on.
Thoroughly enjoyed table talk and the overall interaction.
Many thanks for the invite to the event last night it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
I think keeping the group to a smaller number really allowed you to meet and have a good conversation with the attendees.
The guests were all very likeminded & I loved the way the hosts asked everyone to introduce themselves.
The speaker was very enlightening and held the audience, it would have been good to have more time for Q&A, discussion as the topic was so interesting
I also made some really good contacts from the event to extend my network.
Thank you again & I look forward to attending an event in the future.
Many thanks for the opportunity to provide feedback.
I thought the event was a fantastic and very good use of time.
The venue, quality of participants and content – all spot on.
Thoroughly enjoyed Aron 's talk and the overall interaction.
It was a good event, appreciate the small & intimate group of people.
First and foremost thank you again for hosting the event last week.
Personally, I found the lunch extremely useful. It provided a fantastic opportunity to discuss a very relevant topic with fellow Executives in addition to hearing from Aron. I was fortunate to be sat beside Aron and so was able to spend considerable time discussing our shared passion for strong leadership driving a positive culture.
Overall a great format in a rather splendid location.
it was a pleasure to have joined the dinner last night.
The location was very good and the dinner well organized.
I enjoyed the speeches held and the discussions with my peers at the dinner table.
Thank you for the invitation and enjoyable evening discussing data and analytics.
The event was well run and very informative with a great selection of people with diverse insights into the problems facing their industry.
Thank you for this follow-up email. To be frank, last night was really fantastic. In particular, I have for many years been a huge fan of small personalised events and have tried to run and have participated in many, and as you know, making these successful is much harder than one might think. So, going through some of the attributes of the event:
– I always think a memorable venue is key, both to attract the right attendees and then making the event memorable on the day. Boy, did you achieve this with The Ritz London! It was just a fantastic choice
– The event organisation is key – especially in advance (but also of course on the day as well), and again BEE excelled at this. Lots of great, timely, appropriate content in your communications
– The car pickups were a really great touch. They just added to the overall experience
– The customer is key to the success – and you have a great customer in NetApp. The guys really understood, in my opinion, how to pitch to this audience, and I think got a great balance between relationship building, image (of NetApp) awareness, thought leadership and soft sell.
All in all, it was right at the top of the list of these types of events I have done over many years, so a huge congrats to you and your team.
I thank you for this invitation: whose organization, the reception and the services throughout the evening, were a key to the success of this dinner in an exceptional place.
This event organized roundtables around a strong topical theme in our industry, was an opportunity to revisit the strategy and values of NetApp, meet and discuss with my colleagues and our host ESN while throughout the evening.
A very good format and a great evening in a very prestigious place in Paris.
Thought the event was excellent, as was the venue and the lunch itself. Felt quite relaxed and intimate from a corporate perspective, and allowed for good conversations on the tables. The formal part was done very nicely and the perspectives from Aron were both interesting and inspiring.
Overall an excellent and valuable lunch so congrats to Kronos and to your team for the organisation
My thoughts below:
– I think it was a brilliant event and very well organised so thank for the invite. A great mix of people and a great choice of venue.
– Even better if would be – to create more opportunity of networking outside your table to the extent possible – though appreciate that is difficult.
– Also will be helpful to attend one more session with the same/similar group of people to further cement the relationship.
Really excellent … great venue … the format was excellent (really liked the round table introductions) … faultless execution by your team … the peers I met were very engaging and very good dialogue … I thought the speaker could have been a little more relevant to the topic and a few more case studies to tacking the issues around so what and what is next … nevertheless an exceptional evening well worth senior executives to attend … many thanks and would love to attend again …
We have very much enjoyed the evening and the good conversations we had. Very well organized.
Thanks for being your guests. DocuSign is very professional and could help us to standardize processes and to safe time.
I am sure we will deepen the discussion with DocuSign and get more people Involved internally to demonstrate the Power & Value of this one – going Digital.
Thanks for the great event and gathering top-notch experts in one place. For me, it was great to reconnect with my peers from the industry which didn't have a chance to see for Ling time. It was a great learning experience from the latest cloud updates from NetApp and refresher for great opportunities ahead of us.
Thanks again and looking forward to the next one.
I really enjoyed the event and very appreciative of being invited to such a wonderful setting and being so well looked after.
The mix of people was very good and a good level – so many times at these events the people are too junior and therefore the conversation not at the right level – last night was very good.
Julia gave a very stimulating talk – which we continued on our table.
Once again thank you for the invite – thought-provoking and a great networking opportunity.
Thanks for the mail and for an excellent well-executed and very enjoyable evening – great hosts, great conversation and great company.
I really enjoyed the format and participating in the conversation; I'd be more than happy in joining you at future events where I can contribute.
In answer to your question, I'm not sure you could improve the event – apart from the technical hiccup, which wouldn't be an event if there wasn't at least one.
Thanks for inviting me to the BEE & DocuSign dinner last Thursday. It was a great opportunity to network, discuss the digital future and share experiences among a certain peer group.
The organization and the whole environment was very good – from the chauffeur services (which finally allowed me to join this event) to the intro speeches and the selection of diverse participants. I always felt very comfortable and well.
Thanks a lot for the event invite. It was a great pleasure to meet you.
My feedback:
▪ Event Organization: 10/10
▪ Communication & Follow-Ups: 10/10
▪ Venue: 10/10
▪ Content of the expert presentation: 8/10
Feedback: great venue, lovely food, interesting delegates and lively table conversation.
Cars there and back were very welcome.
Thank you very much for hosting the event and for having me.
I very much enjoyed the conversations and took away a lot of valuable information about DocuSign. I also liked the live demo and thought it fitted in perfectly in the course of the evening. So, I would not change anything!
Thank you very much for an excellent event and consideration. It was a great pleasure to participate and absorb the theme and insights!
My general feedback is this event was well balanced, giving the opportunity to meet other people and enjoy delicious dinner. I was very impressed with Julia's background, her work and presentation during the evening.
As far as the opportunity for future events perhaps a bit more insights with facts and figures would be more engaging for the audience. The discussions were too high level and rushed, whilst AI is a complex topic and deserves more in-depth discussion.
The event was held in great taste and with very good attendance and flow throughout.
I look forward to attending future and similar events.
I found the event extremely well organised. The topic was rather generic "Digital Transformation" but it provided enough context to have interesting conversations with all the other invitees.
I liked the networking angle of the event rather than a sales pitch from NetApp.
Overall a very nice experience and I look forward to the next event.
Many thanks for inviting me. It was a fantastic lunch. Executed flawlessly and some great conversation.
I did stand up and thank BEE when I posted a question to Aron so I hope your team heard that and I helped you to score some brownie points with Kronos too.
I have since followed up with them to tell them how great the events were and how well your team had organised it.
Hello and thank you again for this evening,
I greatly appreciated the general organization of the event (venue, schedule and theme).
I especially enjoyed the aperitif that allowed us to freely exchange and get to know each other before settling down at the table – especially as the mild weather and the balcony were there.
I discovered a new NetApp consulting offer that I did not know and got to know both your colleagues and peers – and I enjoyed the discussions and discussions of the evening.
Thank you again for this invitation and the senior profile of the people present tonight.
A great success!!
Thank you very much for inviting us to the riveting evening exploring the idea of a Paperless NHS…..while a big part of me has always believed in the organic way of life… I came away from the meeting with the conviction that a 'Paperless Environmental Friendly NHS' should not just be an aspiration but the reality of the future.
Thank you BEE for making this happen….the talks were interesting, the company even more so and the compact nature made it feel like a one to one interaction with the participants which sometimes is lost in such events.
I look forward very much to learning more, doing more. Please keep me posted on any more such events that might enlighten the mind further.
Thank you for the Invitation and the reminder for feedback. In short, I liked the format, the location and the organization (although my professional background was obviously very different from the other participants, also seniority of participants was quite diverse).
The event was well planned and run flawlessly from start to finish.
Communication and touching points from your team always engaging and straight to the point.
Kronos were amazing hosts. It will be a pleasure to stay in touch. I enjoyed it!
I enjoyed the event, it was planned and run well from start to finish.
We had some great hosts in NetApp, the venue was wonderful and I really enjoyed meeting my fellow delegates.
Thanks for the invitation to attend this amazingly well-organized event.
I have held and attended several business events and I was very impressed by your team courtesy and professionalism and communication regarding event details in participation.
Looking forward to being invited to upcoming events.
Thanks so much for such a great event.
The company and venue were superb and much appreciated by me, the subject matter insightful.
Thank you for inviting me. It was an excellent dinner and I think the evening went well.
Thank you for the invitation to attend last week an amazing evening.
My feedback:
– Good Organization
– Great Event format
– Good Pace of presentations
– Relevant stakeholders
– Great Networking
The event was very good and the discussions were enjoyable.
The chauffeurs are a great idea – frankly they probably avoid last-minute cancellations and take a lot of excuses away for folks – great convenience factor!
That's all – Thank you for a fun evening!
I really liked the event, the exclusive setting, the delicious food and the contents.
I found the talks very interesting, open and informative as well for the variety of guests and the exchanged views on the evening topic.
I would like to be part of such an event again, if I may.
Thank you for your kind invitation to the executive dinner last night.
The venue was brilliant, stunning views and excellent service!
The content delivered by Kainos was very insightful and informative.
Many thanks for a brilliant evening, I found it very useful and a great opportunity to find out more about NetApp, and what other organizations are doing with the cloud. This plays into my own areas of SaaS, APIs, and platforms.
Thanks also for the list of attendees, I'll be connecting up with them to continue the discussions.
Thank you for a great evening yesterday. It was really great to hear views on how the healthcare system can be transformed through the integration of IT and technology.
I felt all the attendees contributed and it was useful to the network as I will be working on a number of projects this year and may collaborate with some of them. I think the Kainos pitch was very informative and definitely demonstrated how our healthcare system needs to adapt and actually evoked a lot of thought on how Bupa could potentially invest in the cloud.
Thank you for your hospitality. I look forward to the next time.
Thank you again for the outstanding and perfect organization of this fruitful event including getting in contact with managers from different industrial sectors facing the same challenges and thus in an exclusive location, by extraordinary good food in a very pleasant atmosphere was great.
Personally, I took a lot of new insides/perspectives and potential cooperation out of this event.
Again – thank you very much for this fruitful event and I would be happy to be invited for a future meeting!
Great evening, thank you!
Really interesting to hear the benefits of cloud-based patient care records.
Firstly, I would like to thank you so much for the perfect organization of the event, wonderful location, exquisite dinner and high qualitative participants.
I was very delighted and enjoyed the evening. So I will absolutely recommend your events.
Thanks for being your guest. I'm looking forward to seeing you again at the next event.
I felt very privileged to have the opportunity to meet some fantastic leaders and to share ideas. Very powerful!
Thanks again for a lovely evening. Fabulous evening, great food and great company too…
It was a well-paced evening; the only downside really was that it ended too soon!
Thank you very much for facilitating the executive dinner @ Villa Kennedy. I loved the familiar atmosphere, the lively discussion, the exchange between the participants, and least but not last the excellent dinner.
You have done a great job and in fact, if I look at the event (beginning from the pick-up, the welcome, the people, presentation, … until the drop at my home) I cannot find anything to improve. Please continue!
I thought the event was excellent and very well planned. Also being in a unique venue rather than a faceless room in a chain hotel with driver service made a big difference to 99% of the invitations I receive. This was probably the reason senior people attended rather than sending someone on their behalf.
The content also followed this and showed NetApp to be forward-thinking and engaging rather than talking at us about products.
I would like to extend a thank you to yourselves and NetApp to a thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking evening
Thanks again for the invitation, it was a nice evening and I enjoyed being your guest.
I think the presentation was good, but some live demo would have been helpful in understanding the capability of DocuSign.
The venue was well organized – I think that's it.
I wanted to say thank you for the invitation and for running an excellent event. I have been to a number of closed private events before and I would say the evening was a standout. Specifically:
– No overt sales pitch or push for any product play/capability
– Insightful talk from Gartner – independent and helped fuel the conversation for the evening
– The appropriate level of seniority and therefore conversation was at the appropriate level and didn't descend into technology only
– A great mix of sectors represented
In terms of how to improve the evening for future events you might run:
– We bonded well on our table but would have been really good to have mixed the tables up after each course of the meal – we were able to talk openly and get into some details on our table and was keen to both talk to Liberty (similar sector) and NHS (useful cross over) but both were on another table. If there is a way to mix the tables up in a planned way after each course that would be ideal. I totally accept the logistics would become challenging, but the benefits would be worthwhile
It was a great evening, the timing was rightly planned, for discussion, dinner, interaction with guests, etc.
Very good event, lots of interesting and some challenging discussion around the role of the CDO and the fundamental importance of data to Digital and AI initiatives. Thanks for the invite.
I thought that the event was extremely well run and useful, with an excellent mix of people and industries to make the discussions lively and interesting. The presentation from Gartner was very good and the presenter, Debra Logan, was very good at facilitating.
The Ritz provided a very good informal area and that contributed to people speaking openly and honestly about their challenges.
The gift-bag at the end was a nice touch.
Thank you for a very profitable evening.
Many thanks for organising this event. I really did not know what to expect when I accepted but for me, it was a very enlightening
evening. My Feedback…
What was good:
– The organisation was very good and the venue impressive
. The attendees – great mix and not easy to search and find I suspect. As this is a developing area there are so many job titles and types that fit this space but you had a diverse cross-section.
– The content and conversation – this mix of people and experiences, with us all interested in the subject made the value of the conversation high. Did I have one big take-home message – no not really. You can read Gartner stuff and if you live this space the slides just validate what you know. HOWEVER, I got to understand new stories/experiences/perspectives and lots of little nuggets of practical ideas. You can't get this from frameworks and reading.
– The all-over the event – it was a good blend of a little structure to get them thinking going and free form. I have to give a lot of credit to NetApp who I think funded the whole event. They did not try to sell themselves but allowed the whole evening to find to feet. I think this helped, as events where the agenda is toward the sponsor feel more constrained in the ideas and thoughts that emerge.
What could be improved:
– If you could have enticed attendees from pure digital companies (Facebook, Twitter, Google, Amazon, Apple, Uber, NetFlix, Microsoft) it could have provided a 'new order' thought process into the room.
Thank you for putting it all together. I would be interested in attending future events.
A great event with inspiring contributions from exec data leaders across a number of industries.
Thanks again for being invited – I am happy to share some feedback:
– Well-selected audience/group of people.
– Very lively and good discussions
– Was able to expand my network with some really interesting contacts
– Group of people and the size of the event was at the right size
I hope that this feedback is helpful for you and I would like to take this opportunity again to thank you for being invited to the event.
It was a wonderful evening, I was able to learn a lot about the product and its usage in the financial sector including my sector which is Tax Advisory. The timeline was very well planned.
I would like to recommend that these events take place also in Düsseldorf, considering the wide number of private banks, private wealth, private asset management, insurance and tax advisory services.
Firstly thank you very much for the invite and such a brilliant evening.
I think the event was very well organised, with the right size of the audience who could interact and build a network. Debra was brilliant, so knowledgeable and a true SME. My personal take away was great learning, thinking from a different perspective and a network I would really cherish being part of. I have already contacted and started to network with the participant.
I look forward to the next event. Thank you very much once again
First of all: Thank you once again – and once more – for the whole organization of the evening!
As per my feedback, please note:
– Interesting topic
– Very good – diverse! – the group with a good mixture of industries and functions
– Exciting personalities – from technical/practical know-how to social skills which leads to a nice, private and personal atmosphere
And last but not least: great location and set-up!
Thank you for this evening both pleasant and informative.
I appreciated the friendliness and openness of everyone.
Thank you for inviting me, I enjoyed the dinner and exchange!
I would have loved to focus more on the people and change challenge and less on the toolset from Information Builders.
Technology is not the hurdle. I would next time actively try to steer the discussion more into that direction.
Thank you so much for inviting me to the event.
I have only positive things to say.
– Well organised with timely reminders leading up to the event.
– A great selection of like-minded professionals, so the conversation flowed from start to finish.
– The talk from Aron Ain (Kronos CEO) was very interesting and so inspiring
The event yesterday was fantastic in a number of ways as detailed below.
– Engaging, interesting and informative
– Excellent venue
– Quality food & wine
– Great networking opportunity
– Valuable use of my time
I would be very interested in attending similar events should the opportunity arise.
At first, many thanks for the invite and the enjoyable and informative evening!
It was a great opportunity to go into an exchange with people from our industry.
What I found very positive as well is that it did not feel like the event of a sale at all, instead, there was lots of space for an open and lively discussion between participants and solution provider.
Once again thank you for inviting and the hospitality. Great event!
Great discussions in the table around the topic. Nevertheless, I suggest giving more time for interacting with all to move around between the dining tables or bar tables.
Thank you for sharing the list of attendees and for the organisation around the event yesterday evening.
The organisation was great and coordination of guests, conversation topics and the speaker was outstanding. I enjoyed the
networking prior to sitting at the table and the format of the evening, with a wider room conversation as well as a table discussion and debate.
Fantastic location, food and chauffeur service which removed a lot of the logistical hassle that usually goes with attending events like these.
Look forward to future events and relevant topics of conversation.
Thank you for the enjoyable evening. The attention and service from the driver to the Villa staff was excellent.
Although the majority of the attendees were from Deutsche Bank they all had such diverse backgrounds. I was glad to learn more about the topic and appreciated making personal connections.
I look forward to being able to attend future events and would happily recommend your events.
I certainly enjoyed the event, thank you very much. My comments are delivered as someone who has spent budget on similar activities so hopefully some useful points.
The venue was excellent, clearly part of the draw for guests.
I liked the topic, very broad but that is understandable, but I think we could have somehow brought the full room back to the topic/theme, maybe between courses. This is, of course, easier if you are around one (maybe large) table. I did just this with Nimbus Ninety at The Gherkin back in early July. This was with CIO's and not a Service Provider audience so clearly a bit different. But we kept a lively round table debate going right to the end.
The event had a fairly indistinct end, I think a more definite sign off from NetApp would have been good.
Overall though this will have done exactly what was needed, to get NetApp in front of mind for those in the room. The overall quality was high.
I had a great time. Thank you very much for the perfect organization, great food and very convenient chauffeur service.
I especially liked that someone from the organization took the time to personally introduce me to my arrival. It really helped to start a conversation with the other participants and made me feel welcome.
It would be my pleasure to join another of your events.
Thanks to you and your team on location.
A great evening talking with the NetApp guys & with the other guests.
I've had a look at Cloud Camp as suggested– what a great resource! Thanks for the introductions.
I also enjoyed the talk and the great networking and vivid discussions around evening topic.
it was a pleasure meeting the guys and ladies from BEE and DocuSign.
I had some very interesting conversations with other participants as well as with Thomas from DocuSign. Moreover, I learned a lot about economic theories as well as about how the tool from DocuSign works, the strength and weakness of their tool and in which situation and environment their tool makes a lot of sense and in which not. We also talked in the late hours about what it needs to evolve their tool as a "must-have" in the patent attorneys and also lawyers environment.
The chauffeur service from Blacklane was also totally awesome and the catering at Kempinski at the well-known very high level.
Thank you for this evening and of course, I would be glad to join your events in the near future.
Thank you for a great event with new possibilities to network and share business thoughts with peers.
Here are my reflections about the event.
1. Planning – Very structured approach (follow up mails, transport solution)
2. Location – Great location
3. Dinner – Great dinner
4. Network – Great opportunity to network (made new friends)
5. Presentation – Interesting perspectives
6. Follow up – Very structured
Thanks to an excellent organisation and a select interesting mix of industries, the evening was an enrichment both professionally and privately.
Thank you for a very interesting evening with great food and great company.
Interesting to hear about the strategy and the challenges that different companies face in order to ensure that it is fulfilled.
No question that the presentation from Software AG was very interesting and a sound input for dealing with big data.
Once again thank you for a very professional venue.
Thanks again for your invitation. The evening was interesting and inspiring, and I can only congratulate you for perfectly organizing this event.
Thank you for the invitation to a wonderful event. I thought the running of the event was incredibly smooth and the external speaker was great.
For future events, it would be great if you could facilitate the opportunity to speak to more of the attendees about there thoughts and challenges.
The dinner was fantastic but meant you only got to meet a small number of people.
Thanks again and would welcome the invitation to future events
Many thanks for the invitation. The dinner was very well organized to understand Docusign much better was also very helpful.
The whole setup including the self-introduction was really good. Very much appreciated.
Thanks again for the dinner invite. I enjoyed the dinner as well as the conversation.
The event was well organized and the quality of the whole evening exceptional.
If I were to give some constructive feedback it would be that the topic of the evening – why strategy execution fails and what to do about it – was not really the primary topic we discussed. I would have liked some more concrete examples and cases on who to address that issue. But none the less the topics we did discuss were interesting and the whole conversation was engaging.
The facilitators also did a good job of engaging everyone into the conversation.
Thanks again for a great evening.
Really enjoyed the lunch – the company and conversation were really enjoyable; the food and location really super and the format of the discussion/speech really insightful and stimulated some really original thinking.
Thank you for your excellent service and for providing me with the follow-up.
I appreciated meeting the group of selected executives in a private atmosphere and joining the discussion. It is time well spent sharing different views and having inspiring debates. I value the professional setting very much.
Good quality peer group, great venue and a challenging theme delivered well.
To make more of the theme itself and tease out views it would have been better to have had one table with a facilitated conversation over the later part of the dinner.
As it was, the conversations took their own course which was pleasant but not the main purpose.
It was a great evening. Thank you for inviting me to this event.
I learnt a lot about signature and contracts and met very interesting persons on this evening.
The dinner was excellent and the atmosphere grandiose.
I am looking forward to the next Executive Dinner.
Really great event and very valuable to myself. Would be very happy to attend future ones and recommend to my peers.
In terms of feedback, building conversations during dinner was more enjoyable than the reception.
The presentation was great but would've been nice for it to be more interactive.
Thanks for your message and the great evening.
My feedback would be that the objective of the evening was met perfectly.
We had a lively, insightful discussion. I learned a number of things and left with a memory of time very well spent.
Thank you for the opportunity to participate last evening.
It was a well organised, thought-provoking and enjoyable event.
Please pass on my appreciation and best Christmas wishes to all those involved.
just a brief Feedback fort he executive Dinner.
First of all, I had a great time.
Very nice location.
The introduction of Illusive Networks was very informative and on point.
I enjoyed the discussion.
Overall I felt the event was run very well and organised to perfection.
In terms of the content, I believe this could have been better.
If the underlying aim was to spread awareness of Software AG, then this should have been made more direct. We talked about Dubai and several other examples where Software AG has helped in harmonising but still left questions around underlying data issues.
First of all, I would like to thank you for inviting me, that was a new experience that I liked very much. I have already suggested your Company for some of my business partners in case they decide to promote their products. I think this kind of meetings bring a lot of opportunities to both parties that could not be reached by common advertisement, especially if they are organized in such a top-level.
For me personally, this topic is very interesting and I learnt some very innovative approaches by illusive that could be appreciated by my new customer that works in the banking sphere and has high-security standards.
I would be very pleased to be invited to one of your dinners once more.
The event was delightfully held in great taste and with very good attendance and flow throughout. I wouldn't calm it faultlessly and speaks highly of BEE's ability to organise and holds high-quality marketing and networking. I have been in touch with many of the people that I didn't get to meet at the event.
Will keep in mind for own event.
Look forward to future opportunities.
Thank you for arranging the exclusive dinner on December 6th in Stockholm. It was a very good mix of participants from different industries.
Still, we share a lot in common e.g. challenges to execute on our strategies and how to make large companies move faster.
The place and the food were great. As an improvement, you may consider increasing the number of participants slightly.
I look forward to joining future events you are arranging.
Here is some feedback from me.
. Nice setting and interesting people in the event
– The discussions btw the participants was the most interesting piece
Many thanks for inviting and hosting me at this event.
The venue was lovely and the team extremely professional and welcoming. The content of the dinner speech was thought-provoking and interesting – though ultimately not solution driven which I think a few people in the room were hoping for.
I was a little disappointed by the male / female split as there were only 2 female dinner guests and I think going forward it is something many organisations are trying to balance out attendance at such events – but appreciate that you invite based on roles and that many senior digital positions are filled by male colleagues but for a more balanced debate I think that could be enhanced in the future.
Overall – it was an interesting way to spend my evening – and many thanks again for hosting.

Wrecks Rerun
Thursday, April 23, 2009
The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Quick, someone make a cake!
Yes, there's nothing quite like plummeting balloons and unconscious clowns to celebrate your own personal apocalypse. Anyone have some radiation-free milk to go with?

Go with? Ha, you must be a fellow mid-westerner!
I remember having those very same clown heads on some cupcakes when I was a kid. How horrible that those molds still exist to churn out more of those awful things to scar yet another generation of children!
Yep, I hated clowns as a kid and still do. Is it showing? - April 23, 2009 at 12:02 PM

There's a lot of horse lovers that follow CW. I'm sure no one thought you to be insensitive!

I didn't know about that stuff either! I got to see the horse post, and I think it was funny. But I understand why you took it down :)

Wow, I didn't even put 2 & 2 together. I forgot all about the poor polo horses. I am sure no-one thought you were being intentionally insensitive.

I can't help but wonder...is there a way a clown BDSM party can go right? This one was definitely worth re-running. Sorry for the universe and all.
- April 23, 2009 at 12:18 PM
- Sharon said...
When I first looked at the cake, I saw that clown leg as a bolt, the leg behind it as a paint can opener, and the line under the next clown's legs as a screw...I was wondering what the multicolored blobs were when I realized it wasn't a toolbox cake after all. >.<
I think I'll go back to viewing it as nuts and screws. - April 23, 2009 at 12:19 PM
- TheresaHPIR said...
I'm in full agreement with the clown BDSM party gone awry. I assume those are balloon strings subduing the two? - April 23, 2009 at 12:26 PM
- TornadoBaby said...
Didn't think you were insensitive, but the horsey people appreciate the thoughtfulness, I'm sure.
wundermary; you hate clowns? really? Naaaaaah, it doesn't show the least bit...
clowns are scary. - April 23, 2009 at 12:27 PM

Why can't all examples of synchronicity be meaningful and good?

Um, what polo horse tragedy? Seriously, if people are that touchy, they may want to look into getting a life. Anyone who would consider you mean-spirited or crude over that is a big B-A-B-Y. It was an unfortunate coincidence, plain and simple (and I STILL don't know what polo horse tragedy you're talking about), but I respect your decision to pull the post for now. But I can't wait to see it again because that "Godfather" cake was GENIUS!

I honestly didn't even think anything of the horse post! I like the clowns though, too. Don't be so hard on yourself!
- April 23, 2009 at 12:35 PM
In your defense, unless you follow the world of polo, it isn't something you might have really seen. Just bad coincidence.
- April 23, 2009 at 12:38 PM
I heard that they suspect it might be tainted steroids, which really shouldn't be used on horses in the first place. Meh, anyone who got butthurt over a horse cake post was being a tool, in my opinion.

- April 23, 2009 at 12:59 PM
"Um, what polo horse tragedy? Seriously, if people are that touchy, they may want to look into getting a life."
Wow. That's kind of heartless isn't it? I'd suggest starting with this news story:
Even though you weren't involved or emotionally affected, maybe having some sympathy for people who were would be something you could consider.
Some people might not appreciate being told to "get a life" about something like this. - April 23, 2009 at 1:07 PM
I also saw nothing to take offense at in your previous post, although I completely understand your reasons for removing it!
And...seems like actual horse lovers wouldn't be too keen on using horses for sport anyway! - April 23, 2009 at 1:33 PM

- Cottagecheap said...
Honestly, if anyone was offended they need to calm themselves. 21 polo ponies died b/c of bad choices by trainers. EVERY day hundreds of American horses die in Canada and Mexico so no day would be good if someone is OVERSENSITIVE. A cake wreck is a cake wreck.
Hey...my friend is a clown and she is offended by todays rerun! LMBO - April 23, 2009 at 1:39 PM

Clowns in bondage?
What sort of celebration would this be appropriate for?
I think it was thoughtful to take down the horse cake post, although not necessary. Now it can make me queasy in a few weeks too... Drat. - April 23, 2009 at 1:42 PM
- Melissa (& Billy) said...
Not only does it look like someone tied up those clowns (Superman? Snidely Whiplash?) and left them hopelessly mired in frosting, but the balloons around the side of the cake are horribly lacking in helium! Because, y'know, nothing says "happy birthday" like scary clowns and droopy balloons. =P
- April 23, 2009 at 1:46 PM
Speaking as a vegan, I think horsey people are the ones MOST likely to agree that dead horse cakes are a guaranteed wreck.
- April 23, 2009 at 1:49 PM
- Taunee said...
I find it completely out of line for anyone to relate your horse post of cakes to the deaths.
I LOVE horses and the fact that you had to take down the post because of the deaths makes me mad.
People need to realize the world does not revolve around them or a single tragedy. - April 23, 2009 at 1:52 PM

Another thing... Comments are censored here?

wow...lol! I knew about the horse situation but never connected the two...no need for the concern I think!
- April 23, 2009 at 1:55 PM
Horsey people everywhere will be very thankful that you took the post down - you didn't have to and its very appreciated <3
- April 23, 2009 at 1:56 PM
- 2horseygirls said...
As an avid horse-lover, volunteer and investigator with an equine rescue, I don't think anyone would assume you were referencing the tragic polo horse deaths, the mustangs in Nebraska or the 150+ racehorses in NY.
You were just reporting hysterically bad horse cakes, which I promptly forwarded to my horsey friends. Hopefully, they saw your post before it came down - otherwise, I'm sure they'll check back! - April 23, 2009 at 2:01 PM

i wouldn't have been offended but i think it was classy of you to delay the post anyway. - April 23, 2009 at 2:05 PM
- Maggie said...
Cat Skyfire, I saw it, and I certainly don't follow polo--it's been on the front page of Yahoo.
Jen, I'm sure no one thought you were a jerk. It's obviously not in the character of this blog (and therefore, seemingly not in your character) to do something like that. Don't beat yourself up over it. - April 23, 2009 at 2:05 PM
- Kira said...
Is it just me, or do those clown bodies look like they're made out of play-dough?
When all else fails, throw it all through a blender and make cake balls! - April 23, 2009 at 2:05 PM
- Erin said...
i wasn't quick enough to see the horsey post today, but I did see an item in the news about the horses. It was a sad and truly odd occurance. However, my life has already moved on from that and didn't connect them. Always good to err on the side of generosity and compassion, though.

Honestly Jen, I don't think anyone could have seen you as being insensitive to an unforeseen tragedy of that sort. And if so...I believe this is forgiveness for it.

The polo horse tragedy: 21 polo horses died a sudden, horrible death. Lungs filling with fluid, collapsing, ect. ON LOCATION of the match. Link here:
NTM the Mustang tragedy too; over 200 starved, roughly 60 of those to death:
So I understand pulling the post... although I can't imagine why anyone would ever think you did that intentionally. I think you have to be a horse person to follow those stories that closely. But, can't wait to see the horsie post in the near future! :)
ANYHOW, on topic now. That cake is scary! And no, I am not personally afraid of clowns... but dead clowns with limp balloons? Who orders that? (or EATS that) - April 23, 2009 at 2:48 PM
Hey, I was taught in journalism school to look for the worst possible outcome and edit everything with a dirty mind and even I missed the connection this morning. I think you did good pulling it for today - good on you.
Having said that, I laughed OUT LOUD in my office at each picture. That was some powerfully funny stuff! Can't wait to see it again! - April 23, 2009 at 2:57 PM

Long time reader, first time poster. LOVE Cake Wrecks!
I'm a horse lover, and have been on top of the polo horse tragedy ever since it occurred, and I'm just disappointed I missed the horse cakewreck post! That was thoughtful of you to think about it, though. When are you reposting it again? *she asks earnestly*
You didn't have to be a polo lover to know about it.. it even made the national news. A tremendous tragedy, with tremendous suffering on the part of the animals - and their associated humans. - April 23, 2009 at 3:01 PM
Ok I thought the clowns were tied down to railroad ties by some evil villain. But I guess the ropes were actually the balloon strings. Huh. Too bad.
- April 23, 2009 at 3:02 PM
That's weird - the horsey stuff DID Show up on my Google Reader
- April 23, 2009 at 3:03 PM
They still have those clown heads at chain craft stores. They're awful--is there really that big of a market for them?

- Jen said...
Hey All,
Thanks for the support & feedback regarding the horse-post removal. And don't be too hard on those who may have been offended; as some of you said, it's better to err on the side of compassion, and it really didn't bother me to remove it.
That said, I'll probably re-post it in another week or 10 days.
And @Taunee - yep, comments are indeed censored here on Wrecks. As a reader, I prefer it when the nastiness & spam are weeded out, so I employ moderators to do the same for y'all here. Rest assured we don't remove comments based on whether the person likes the post or not, though - profanity, slurs, and what we determine to be hateful sentiments are removed. Unfortunately that means a lot of *positive* remarks are removed in addition to the negative; a surprising amount of folks use profanity to express their approval! Heheh.
Anyway, rest assured you're getting the vast majority of what is written in the comments, good and bad. It's just the ugly we take out. ;) - April 23, 2009 at 3:28 PM
See, the problem here is that the cake is upside down. The clowns got tangled in the balloons, and were lifted skyward, until they hit... something.
The clown heads still have at least one market. The first Wilton course still teaches how to make clowns out of icing. Don't know who thought it would be a good idea to make the bodies out of fondant (or play-doh, as the case may be) - April 23, 2009 at 3:30 PM
- Dorci said...
Awwww, you're so sweet! Even as a horse lover, I would have understood that you meant no harm in your horse posts, but I think it's awfully nice of you to be sensitive to us!

- sendingtheclowns said...
I just got here, so I'm reading a mostly odd bunch of replies to something I haven't even seen regarding polo horses. I'll check the news, even though I know I'll wish that I hadn't.
Now, about the cake I CAN see: What's the problem?
All I see is a couple of clowns taking a NAP! For crying out loud--they've probably been cavorting around on that cake all day, doing their little clowny tricks and being amusingly plastic and all that. Don't they deserve a break?
Look at the lighting in that setting--it's like late afternoon, judging by the soft, golden glow; they look exhausted! Oh, but NOOOOO...everybody wants to accuse them of perverted acts and degrade them, and even call them scary! I can't believe how JADED some people have become. It's a sad commentary on our society when respectable cake decorations cannot do their jobs and expect a little common decency in return.
For shame. This wouldn't be happening if these things would get together and unionize! - April 23, 2009 at 4:13 PM
Wow, I didn't even make that connection. It was a good post and I look forward to seeing it again in a few weeks!
- April 23, 2009 at 4:22 PM
- Jennifer said...
I wasn't out of the country, and I hadn't heard of the polo horse deaths. I read that article you linked to, and it's incredibly sad what happened all those horses (and I also feel for the people who loved and cared for them).
I would never have put together your horse post with the polo horse thing.
But, nice of you to pull it, just in case it was interpreted the wrong way.
I can't wait to see it next week. - April 23, 2009 at 4:50 PM
I thought it was a slightly early derby post, too. Ah, well. Poor horsies.
- April 23, 2009 at 4:56 PM
- Jessi said...
I don't know about people being "offended" by the post, but I can understand if it made some people upset. Just like after that kennel blew up and killed Martha Stewart's puppy (among many others), it would have been in bad taste to make a post of deceased-looking doggies so close to the tragedy.
And Derby is next weekend...I was going to say that a horse post would be good for then but in light of last year's tragic death of Eight Belles I'm no longer so sure. Ah, well. It's always something... - April 23, 2009 at 5:03 PM

This looks like the "Let's rid the world of clowns party" being held at a secret location. The hapless clowns are all trussed up and the ceremony is about to begin. They will be ceremonially scrubbed of makeup, their rubber noses will be burned, and they will be forced to put on normal clothes. It really is for the best.

Darn I wish I had seen the horse post but I look forward to it. I can fully understand why you took it down.
- April 23, 2009 at 5:58 PM
Well, that went over like a 'lead balloon'!
- April 23, 2009 at 6:07 PM
I think it isn't "tragic". Poor ponies died, sure. But the earthquake in Italy was tragic. Children in our very own country without food is tragic.
Poisoned ponies? They aren't beloved pets, they were sports horses.
Sad maybe, but certainly not tragic. - April 23, 2009 at 6:36 PM

- dhcoop said...
I did see the horse post this morning and have to admit I thought it a strange coincidence that it came so closely to the news about the horses. It was all over the national news here, so even though I'm not a horse person, I'm an animal lover and had been following it. But, I look at Cakewrecks every day and I knew that it couldn't have been intentional. I've seen enough of your work that I knew it had to be some kind of bad timing thing. I respect your decision for pulling it. (although it was quite funny!)
I've never posted here, but this time wanted to. I LOVE your site! - April 23, 2009 at 7:58 PM
It wouldn't have been steroids, I don't understand where that rumor started. If you use steroids (don't), you inject them days before an event, not hours.
The polo team's pharmacy just admitted it was a badly mixed supplement,
Common vitamins can be deadly if you get way too much, sad but true. - April 23, 2009 at 7:58 PM
- Mad Izatie said...
What's ragis about the horsies is that they died because of human error. Someone wrote someting down wrong, and 21 ponies drop dead. I heard the plyers and a few people were crying. ...I'm halfway around the world, and I feel like cryin too.
Thanks for witholding the horse cake wrecks, tho. I would have never known about the deaths had you not mentined it, but it's nice that you've chosen to be sensitive about it.
Poor horsies. :( - April 23, 2009 at 8:57 PM
It kinda looks like they used too much helium for themselves and fell over, thus never getting around to getting those suckers up in the air!
But they look mighty happy!

- Katie said...
I agree with many of the others - crazy coincidence...But, it's very kind of you to think of the horse lovers out there. But, from what I was reading earlier, it sounded like a formulation error made in compounding drugs that aren't even approved for use on horses in the US...hmmm...

Anna Marie - April 24, 2009 at 8:27 AM
I took the Wilton Course I (Beginners cake decorating class) and a woman in my class made something really similar to this. I couldn't think of a polite way to snag a picture of it, but it remains in my memory forever.
One of the classic "beginner" cakes is one with piped frosting clowns. You use a big star tip to pipe the body and limbs, a round tip for feet and buttons, and add the plastic heads.
The other woman in my class eschewed the official class recipe for frosting and used her own, which was made of butter instead of shortening. Butter that melts in your hands as you try to pipe the clowns.
Her frosting was too soft to make sitting clowns, so hers were reclining on her cake. She didn't think to cutely position their limbs; instead, she created them spread eagled, facing the heavens.
The Dead Clown Cake was the creepiest and funniest thing ever. - April 24, 2009 at 9:17 AM

I didn't put the two together even though I have read the stories. But thanks for being sensitive to those readers who are affected by it.
- April 24, 2009 at 11:18 AM
I in no way thought you insensative. I didn't even connect your post with the news. If any one did complain they need to relax a bit. It is obvious you were not refrencing the news.

With all due respect...Why would you allow someone to write that Canadians and Mexican are killing hundreds of American horses. That's complete crap! I find that offensive. I saw yesterdays post, thought it was funny, I didn't connect the two either but I don't think a "minutewoman" should get away with xenophobic statements.

I sort of love this clown cake and its surreal elements. I think the lighting helps a lot.
- April 24, 2009 at 1:43 PM
The polo horses was a tragedy, and I think it was very sensitive of you to think of that when you pulled the post.
And for anyone saying that people affected by that should get a life: you're really insensitive. Twenty one horses dropped dead. In the course of several hours. That's kind of shocking, and you should get your heart strings checked if you don't care. It's a shame, and the pharmacy that screwed up the vitamins should get their systems checked. It's terrifying to think that that could happen to my horses. - April 24, 2009 at 3:01 PM
Am I the only one who thinks it's equally bizarre that the last name of the announcer for the International Polo Club is Coppola?? Between that, the dead horse cakes and the actual dead horses, this whole story is just a bit too weird...
- April 24, 2009 at 3:32 PM
Ceili, I hate to say it but the earlier statement is true. I don't think they were saying it to be mean or are xenophobic, but since the recent ban in the U.S. against slaughtering horses for food they really are being shipped over the borders for slaughter. The U.S. also had slaughtering plants for horses until just a few of years ago, so the U.S. has been just as guilty. I'm not saying its morally right and I don't condone it at all, but it was a factual statement.

I think the horse cakes would have been fine for 98% of your audience, many of whom were completely unaware of the polo pony deaths, but I appreciate that you chose to take the feelings of the other 2% into consideration. If you're delaying the post because you feel it's the right thing to do, then good for you.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

Savvas the New of Kalymnos
One of the newest contemporary saints of the Eastern Orthodox church, Saint Savvas of Kalymnos (also known as Saint Savvas the New) is the patron saint of the Greek island of Kalymnos, where he lived during the last twenty years of his life as the priest and spiritual father of the nuns of the Convent of All Saints. He was a great ascetic, confessor, iconographer, and miracle-worker. He is one of the recently recognized saints in the Greek Orthodox Church.
He died on April 7, 1947, and his remains were exhumed 10 years later in 1957. The feasts dates of St. Savvas the New of Kalymnos are celebrated on various dates in different traditions, April 7 (March 25 according to the Old Calendar), and the fifth Sunday of Great Lent with St. Mary of Egypt.
Saint Savvas Life
Saint Savvas was born in 1862 in Herakleitsa, Eastern Thrace, the only child of Constantinos and Smaragda, both devout people who were very poor. Upon his baptism he was given the name Vasilios.
As a young boy he had a calling for the monastic life and secretly left without his parents knowing for Mount Athos at the age of twelve where he entered St. Anne's Skete. Along with the monastic duties, this is where he learned iconography and Byzantine music.
He later traveled to Jerusalem for a pilgrimage to the holy sites. He arrived in 1887 and entered the monastery of St. George Hozeva and lived there for seventeen years as a hermit in the deserted and rugged cliffs. After serving for a period as a novice, he was tonsured a monk and given the name Savvas.
In 1890, he joined the brotherhood of the Abbot Kallinikos (from Alatsata of Asia Minor) and in 1902 was ordained a deacon. In 1903, a year later, he was ordained to the holy priesthood by Archbishop Nikodemos from Diokesaria. He spent almost 10 years in the desert by the Jordan where he led an austere life and occupied himself with prayer and iconography. His dwelling consisted of two cells which he reached by ascending up a rope ladder. This isolation was necessary for successful inner concentration and noetic prayer and he made great spiritual progress there.
Due to the irregularities caused by the raids of the Arabs in the Holy Land, and health reasons, St Savvas was forced to leave. He returned to the motherland (Greece) where he searched for a quiet place to continue his monastic struggle. Originally he was attracted to the island of Patmos, where he lived for a while in the hermitage of Grava and later at the Monastery of St. John. [1]
He later traveled for three years, throughout Greece, looking for a suitable place to stay. He visited Mount Athos, then the Monastery of Phaneromenis, then Salamina and finally the island of Hydra, but in 1919 he was invited to stay at the island of Aegina by St. Nektarios, to serve as a priest at the Convent of the Holy Trinity, and stayed for six years at this convent (from 1919 until 1925). There he taught the nuns the holy art of iconography and Byzantine music. This period was one of the most significant events in his biography due to his friendship with St. Nektarios, who was at the height of his spiritual development at this time. St Savvas had the opportunity to confess and receive counsel from the saint, and the two held each other in highest esteem and regarded each other a saint. They were spiritual brothers and the best of friends.
St Savvas, the clergyman who conducted the funeral service for Saint Nektarios, also painted the first icon of the saint.
- One day St. Savvas asked the abbess not to let anyone disturb him for forty days, during which he remained confined to his cell in which the nuns could hear constant conversation (between the living saint and the reposed saint). After 40 days, he came out of his cell holding an icon of the saint. He handed it to the abbess and asked her to place it in the church for veneration. The abbess was surprised since Nektarios had not been formerly glorified ("canonized") as a saint, and was afraid that the convent would get into trouble. Although Savvas was always meek and humble, he insisted, and told her in a commanding manner: "You must show obedience. Take the icon and place it on the icon stand, and do not scrutinize the will of God." He knew the holiness and purity of St. Nektarios.
During the forty days he spent locked in the room where St Nektarios's tomb was, the nuns could hear two voices having conversations, and believed the second voice was that of the recently departed St Nektarios, so the living and dead were having discussions.
Soon after the repose of St. Nektarios, the number of pilgrims to the convent increased rapidly due to the growing reputation of the saint as a miracle-worker. This greatly disrupted the quiet life that Saint Savvas loved, and with the encouragement of the influential wealthy Kalymnian Gerasimos Zervos[2], he departed in 1925 and went to the island of Kalymnos.
There, he spent the last years of his life as the priest and spiritual father at the Convent of All Saints. As a confessor, he combined leniency with severity. He was lenient on certain sins and severe to others. For him blasphemy against God and His saints was one of the greatest sins. He remained an ardent spiritual striver until the end of life and practiced extreme forms of self-restraint with regard to food, drink, and sleep. St. Savvas became a shining example of virtue to all who came into contact with him. Many smelled a heavenly fragrance in his presence and some even saw him rising above the ground as he stood at prayer.
Towards the end of his life, St. Savvas remained in a state of intense prayer and holy contrition. For three days he did not receive anyone and he gave his last counsels, requesting love and obedience in Christ. When he was on the point of death taking his last breath, suddenly he received strength, brought his blessed small hands together, and clapped them repeatedly saying his last holy words: "The Lord! The Lord! The Lord," then he recited the hymn of the Annunciation which the nuns found odd as it was not the Annunciation with the new Gregorian calendar, but only did the nuns realise later that at that point those following the old Julian calendar were celebrating the vesperal feast for the Annunciation. Thus, he died on April 7], 1947 (which was March 25 for the Old Calendar, the eve of the feast of the Annunciation. Upon closing his eyes, one of the nuns saw the soul of the saint ascending in a golden cloud towards heaven. After 10 years when the saint's grave was opened, a heavenly fragrance emanated from the grave which covered the whole island of Kalymnos, this phenomenon was witnessed by many, including the local bishop who upsettingly and initially refused to grant permission to the nuns to exhume his relics (when after three years of his death St Savvas miraculously appeared to the nuns ordering them to exhume him as the side of his head was getting wet being buried with his head at the base of a water deposit (sterna in Greek) and only after following years of torment and dreams did the then-Bishop Isidoros believe and allowed his relics to be exhumed, finding his whole body incorrupt and intact apart from a small section on his skull where a patch of his skin deteriorated because of the water leaking on him—as the saint had said to the nuns! This was a testament to the sanctity of the saint. Numerous miracles and healings have since been attributed to St. Savvas the New of Kalymnos.

Goodyear Welted was invented in United States at the end of the XIXth century by Charles Goodyear Junior, son of Charles Goodyear, the inventor of the vulcanization. The Goodyear welted, except with its origins, is completely different of the vulcanization.
At the end of the XIXth century, the greatest names of the fine shoes for men industry, in wide majority English and French shoes maker fascinated by the qualities and the fame of this new way of construction, came to America to learn and acquire with the American master bookmakers the methods of this revolutionary construction.
To sum up, the sewing machine called "Goodyear" uses the same technology than the one used by the craftsmen of the hand made shoes industry. It is just adapted to the industrial fabrication of shoes by mechanizing several steps of sewing.
About the technology?
A Goodyear welted shoe is made with two stitchings:
- The first one called "Goodyear" is realised with the Goodyear machine. It joins the welt, the upper and the insole.
- The second one is made with a "Little Points" machine. This stitching links the sole with the welt.
With this construction, as soon as the outsole is timeworn, it is really easy to remove it and make a new "little points" stitching without any damage for the shoe and the rest of the Goodyear construction.
This construction is very long-lasting. Other benefit: the foot is lying on a leather insole which is on a thickness of natural cork. The natural cork has the particularity to take bit by bit the shape of the foot. As a result, you have the feeling that your shoe is made-to-measure and you can not give up it.
The Goodyear construction has also another advantage: its keeping and its special design. Due to its construction, a Goodyear welted shoe is higher than a classical one and its lower part near the welt goes lightly inside. Those elements give to Goodyear shoes for men a distinguished and esthetical line. An uninitiated person will not notice these details, he only sees a fine and formal shoes that perfectly goes through the time.
Today, all the great names of the luxury industry: Paraboot, Church, Edward Green, Crocket and Jones… still respect this tradition of Goodyear Construction. The Goodyear welted is the must of the smart shoes for men. In current language, Goodyear welted is synonymous of luxury English shoes for men.

Auto injuries are an expensive and painful problem around the world. Experts estimate that we spend over $30 billion per year in treating the pain and disability that can result from a rear-end crash. We see many of these cases each year come through our practice in Smyrna, GA.
Most people don't realize that many of these types of injuries can be prevented by properly adjusting your head restraint. Research done on live traffic shows that only about 10% of people have a head restraint that's set up to prevent injury from a rear-end crash. Our video below shows you how to adjust your head restraint to protect you and your family.
If you've already been injured in a crash, it's important to get treatment right away. The staff at Synergy Rehab Atlanta has helped many people recover from such injuries. Give us a call today at (770) 434-8976 to learn more or to make an appointment.
