I am blown away by the amount of people who have reached out to meet with me at the very last second at this particular event. So many people want to meet… I wish the show was 2 weeks. 🙂

I suspect many were caught off guard as this show happened so early in the year.

I also think this is a great sign as so many people to date want to tell me about new products, new companies or new ventures.

So if you want to meet I will be at all the receptions throughout the week and the meals.

We have had standing room only sessions all day and the energy and excitement has been amazing.

As often as I can I have been checking e-mail on the laptop or phone to stay up to date.

I even took some photos of a packed reseller session I was moderating. There was a look of surprise on some of the attendees faces as I snapped shots of them.

I must confess I even answered a few e-mails up there. E-mail is just so addictive.

The irony is that while I am at this live show which we expect up to 8,000 people to attend, e-mails kept coming in from social networking sites like Linked-in, Facebook, Spock and and who knows what else.

Personally I think there are too many social networking sites and I think perhaps Spock is the one that pushed me over the deep end.

That is why at least for the week — my networking will be done live or not at all. Hope to see you in Miami. 🙂
