an IT conference that claims to be more than a tradeshow
Here is an interesting, free to attend conference that I wanted to highlight:
The points I liked about it is not about what it is, but about what it is not:
- A Marketing Event
- A Trade Show
- Models with PowerPoints and Brochures
- A business card swap
- More Money = Bigger Signage
The important highlights of it is that for a vendor to have a booth, they need to have a fully functional lab on the floor and to have knowledgeable lab technicians to answer questions on it. If you go to a booth, you should have the ability to dive deep into all the aspects of the solution and not just get a squeeze ball and a brochure.
Also, the breakout sessions are mostly demo’s and not presentations.
Here is another video about it’s value from the geek networking aspect:
