ITEC is great!

Today was day one for the ITEC show in Portland. It was pretty awesome. I did some radio interviews with James Gaskin who was the keynote speaker. I also interviewed the co founder of Netvigilance. There were other heads of technology corporations as well from the NW and beyond.
Comcast really ticked me off because they said they would come by but they chickened out. I don't know if it was stage fright or they just didn't want to be compared with FIOS from Verizon anymore.
Tomorrow I will be speaking at 1PM on the new "Connected Office" with Paul Cedarholm from LinkSys.
We had a ton of people at our booth today asking about our services and products. I felt bad for our neighbors in the nearby booths. They spent thousands of dollars more than we did on their displays.
We only had a week or so to prepare so we have this thrown together backboard made out of plywood that is laughable compared to everyone else, but we had what people wanted. There were three people deep waiting to talk to us when the booths next to us were almost always void of customers.
I guess we found a good niche.
