Who had the best presentation of a product?

You really have to take your hat off to any CEO and President that shows up to Interop to talk to the partners and customers. Michelle Dickman of TriGeo is just that person, not only does she come and talk to everyone at the booth. But she does every presentation, every day, during all of Interop. That to me shows someone who cares about the company, wants to be on the front line and hearing what people have to say. If you have not had a chance to make it by the TriGeo booth, stop by and talk to the only CEO and President I know of on the floor doing every presentation.

I really wish other vendors at Interop would work off her lead, come to Interop and spend time in the booth talking to everyone. It should be part of their job and if they don't think it would make a difference, they are dead wrong.
