Calling them an idea person is, I think, unfair. The idea is the simple part. It is taking this idea to market, getting people to implement it, that is not easy. I'm not saying the implementors deserve the level of credit they get, but reducing the organizers to simple 'idea person' is somewhat disingenuous.

Yep, that is the selling part right there!

It is one thing to take an idea to market when you are selling for companies like IBM, Accenture, Google, etc.

But when you have to sell the same idea on your own, that takes real skill and hard-work!
