Well, once again — who’d have guessed? — I made a whole bunch of new contacts at DEMO! 🙂 Once I get home from these events and go through my cards, I’ve made it a tradition to do a post and say-hey to these folks. So, here ya go, friends!
The names below are just new people I actually got a card from. My apologies to all the others I met but didn’t have time to exchange cards with — that’s why cards are good: they help us remember! Regardless, it was great meeting all of you! And I hope to see you again soon in my travels, or at a future conference. And to all those old friends and acquaintances I ran into again, it was awesome to see you, too! I just wish I could have had a chance to talk more with all of you… Things are so rushed at these conferences, especially when you’re blogging like mad as well. [That’s why the coming new DEMO.com community site will be so great!]

I’m gonna have to try getting onto BatchBlue’s free site for DEMOfall attendees (see my previous post on that company) so I can reconnect with people — both these and the ones I didn’t get cards from. There are so many conversations I wanted to have, so many great new companies and technologies I wanted to learn more about, so many old contacts I wanted to reconnect with, but (sigh) just not enough time. These two-day events are such a whirlwind!
