Dateline: Las Vegas, NV Mid Afternoon and into the evening
The first wave of crusaders arrived at The Venetian today to get prepared for the Swimage Revival. MMS 2009 may never be the same once people get a chance to meet Rev. Numlock. We received troubling news today that the ever popular water bottles attendees have been receiving have been replaced with metal imposters! This will limit the coolness of our free Kool Aid by appearance, but the flavor will be unaffected.
Tomorrow morning we will get registered and get all of our gear set up in the Expo Hall in preparation for the first services. I have already run into our terrific hosts (Stefanie, Martin and Kristen) as well as annual attendees and folks of significant importance. This conference is, in many ways, a reunion of sorts. The Management Technology space is filled with passion and an event like this really brings that passion to the forefront. We hope that our little corner of the Expo Hall brings both education and entertainment as it endeavors to accomplish both.
At the heart of our "Sermons" will be the approaches many companies have taken toward developing a solution for the deployment of operating systems. We will take a humorous look at the plight technologists face when dealing with this event and the many ways they have tried to solve their problem. While executing this approach with tongue firmly in cheek, the underlying message is a serious one. Deployment does not have to be a daunting, expensive and avoided process. You do not have to equate it to a root canal or visiting that in law you try to avoid. You can, when handled proactively, turn deployment into a true strategic asset for your company. In fact, every day that you do not take this approach, you could not only be losing competitive advantage, but also losing money!
So come by our booth and attend a service. Take a chance and win a Collectible Swimage Revival T-Shirt or Necklace or even give us your own "Testimony" about deployment efforts. Take some time to speak to the "Deacons" in the booth about the unique approach that Swimage Encore employs and how leveraging it can allow you to truly unlock the power of deployment.
See you in the AM!
