 All,

 I have been working on that very issue for the last few weeks and will
 keep you all posted.
 There are a ton of choices of restaurants north of the conference hotel
 about 2 miles on
 International Drive but I have no prior experience with the area so some
 input from Peter
 would definitely be in order. A few places have complimentary shuttles. ;-)

 Suggestions from those who might be attending would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [WISPA] Wireless ISP's (shows)

2007-04-05 Thread Tom DeReggi
The benefit of the Conference, is you find people that you didn;t know 
existed, that you wouldn't normally know to invite.
Hearing their comments in conferences, is what allows people to learn about 
others.


I jsut recently said, I don't need the conference, just the people in it. 
But that statement actually was not true.
There is a tremendous value in the People Networking, but it is not the ONLY 
value. The best shows are ones that bringtogeather smart people, and Quality 
sessions.  ISPCON for example has always led the industry with intelligent 
instruction (content) in its conference session.  I've watched ISPs take 
notes in a session, and come back th next year toughting their success at 
something, knowing they learned it from teh previous visit at ISPCON.  I 
also got a lot of value from last year's exhibit flow, learning of new 
products.  KNowing your Vendors face to face also has value, to work 
togeather better.

I mostly skip conferences because of me at least all of their value is in
networking with others. Unfortunately, some conferences are better than
others for networking.

I would suggest a better use of people's time and money would be to just 
to

plan a networking event and skip the whole conference hoopla.

RE: [WISPA] Wireless ISP's (shows)

2007-04-03 Thread CHUCK PROFITO
I attended my first WISP related show at ISPCON in Santa Clara. I thought it
was excellent. But, on the 2nd day they had a CEO open exchange, if I
remember right, it started about 4 or 5 and went till about 1 am or so. They
started with beer then pizza, I think a vendor bought it, and the beer I not
sure who picked up the tab.  BUT that one night was worth the total we spent
on the entire stay, just in information and contacts.  They also opened the
show latter on the third day. If this is normal, I apologize for rehashing
what you already know, but I was really impressed with the openness of the
participants.

Re: [WISPA] Wireless ISP's (shows)

2007-04-03 Thread Peter R.

Jack Brandt at Register.com picked up the tab for the sandwiches and beer.
I bought the pizza.
Jack and I are speaking together at one of the sessions.

ISP-CEO is worth the price of admission alone.

BTW, do you have the notes on the Google search money machine?

Peter @ RAD-INFO, Inc.

started with beer then pizza, I think a vendor bought it, and the beer I not
sure who picked up the tab.  BUT that one night was worth the total we spent
on the entire stay, just in information and contacts.  They also opened the
show latter on the third day. If this is normal, I apologize for rehashing
what you already know, but I was really impressed with the openness of the
participants.
