HostingCon Blog: Networking is fun
We’re three days in to the convention and I just attended my first session. I went the entire Monday and Tuesday without sitting in on any sessions, but to be honest, I don’t feel bad about that because the networking on the booth floor has been incredibly enjoyable.
HostingCon Blog: All partied out
Well, we’re coming into the home stretch here, and I would say it’s been a very good conference. I had a great time shooting pool at The WHIR/RatePoint Lucky Strike event, with the guys from Spry and Tucows.
HostingCon Blog: Why are we here? And other existential questions.
Before any convention, one of the smartest things you can do is sit down with your colleagues or yourself, and map out specifically what you want to accomplish/take away from the few short days you’ve been given to network in your industry.
HostingCon Blog: Today’s conference luncheon
Networking is one of the biggest reasons that people attend conventions, and this year, HostingCon put a good idea to use.
HostingCon Blog: The Future of Web Hosting Marketing
I just listened to a great, short talk by Derek Vaughan, Chief Marketing Officer of The TechPad Agency. Derek gave his vision of some key concepts hosting marketers will need to get their heads around if they’re to reach upcoming generations of web hosting customers.
HostingCon Blog: Manage your show day
There is a lot to see, hear and do this year at HostingCon. A. Lot. I couldn’t find an .ics import-friendly calendar on the HostingCon official site this morning (maybe there is one, I couldn’t see it), so I whipped one up in iCal on my Mac to share.
HostingCon Blog: On the road
So, here I am, sat in the passenger seat of the car on the highway while Paul (the_pm) drives. We should be in Chicago in 60 minutes. I can’t wait!
HostingCon Blog: Meet Me at the WHT Lounge
If you’re not getting excited yet over HostingCon 2007, now’s the time! Events like these are rare opportunities to make the types of connections with other industry professionals that can greatly impact the course of your career or the value of your business.
HostingCon Blog: Introducing your bloggers
So, who’s writing this thing anyway? Several members of the Web Hosting Talk community have volunteered their time and effort during the three days of the HostingCon conference to contribute to the blog.
HostingCon Blog: The party scene unfolds
Like any good tradeshow, HostingCon has a good lineup of afterhours parties taking shape–all either vendor sponsored, community driven or planned by HostingCon themselves. In the WHT HostingCon forum, some details of these great events are starting to unfold. Check out the list so far.
