Well I am excited to announce that I will be attending the next Tech Field Day hosted by Gestalt IT in September 2010. If your not familiar with Tech Field Day it is a group of 10-12 IT professionals that come together and over a couple days meet with various vendors and get presentations or hands on demo’s of new technology. The delegates who attend are independent and are free to give honest opinion good or bad on what they see. It is run as a community event with the vendors and delegates interacting with each other, not just a one way power point show. In turn the companies get (hopefully) great feed back from a wide range of people who are in the industry that they can use to improve the product or the customers experience with it.
What makes me particularly excited about this field day is it is networking specific! Other field days have covered a broader range of technologies. Since networking is what I do I can not wait for this event and everything I will learn at it. Right now I don’t even know who the vendors are going to be but I am sure since it is in San Jose you can count on it being some good ones!
I plan on sharing my thoughts on every presentation here and on Twitter. I highly recommend you follow the hashtag #TechFieldDay on Twitter to see all of the delegates thoughts on this event. You can see the full list of delegates on the Gestalt IT site and it quite a group! I am honored to have been selected. Watch this space for more info, the event is less then a month away.
Full Disclose: My airfare, hotel and travel meals will all be paid for by the sponsors of this event. You can read what is expected of a delegate if you would like to know more about it.
