<https://www.brainzooming.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/080913+Quotes+Logo+for+Brainzooming-May-25-2022-01-27-31-58-PM.jpg>To wrap the week, here are some quotes and notes from the [marcus evans Customer Segmentation conference](http://www.marcusevans.com/html/eventdetail.asp?eventID=14756&SectorID=1&divisionID=) last week:

- "If you could say it in words, there'd be no reason to paint." – [American artist Edward Hopper](http://www.mfa.org/hopper/artist.html) from an airport billboard at arrival
- “If I’d asked people what they wanted, they’d have said ‘faster horses.’” - [Henry Ford](http://www.hfmgv.org/EXHIBITS/HF/) from [Sheryl Connelly’s](http://www.linkedin.com/in/sherylconnelly) consumer trend presentation

Several quotes from “Connecting What You Value to What You Do” presented by [Kevin Clark, Brand & Value Experience](http://www.linkedin.com/pub/1/7b8/5) at [IBM](http://www.ibm.com/us/):

- “FUMIFU - First Use Must Inspire Future Use TM” [Polyvision Products](http://www.polyvisionproducts.co.uk/), a Steelecase Company
- “You can tell you have good scenarios when they are both plausible and surprising; when they have the power to break old stereotypes; and when the makers assume ownership of them and put them to work. Scenario making is intensely participatory, or it fails.” – from [Peter Schwartz’s book, “The Art of the Long View”](http://www.gbn.com/BookClubSelectionDisplayServlet.srv?si=361) , which both Kevin and Sheryl recommended
- “People forget what you say, forget what you did, but never forget how you made them feel.” - [Maya Angelou ](http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/ang0bio-1)

That’s a wrap for the conference recap. It was great to meet everyone there and thanks to [Ana Bardelas](http://www.linkedin.com/pub/6/142/191) for producing a great event and making everybody attending feel very welcome!
