SBSmigration.com IT Pro Conference
SBSmigration.com IT Pro Conference 2007 was held Memorial Day weekend in May 2007 in New Orleans. Our attendance of over 160 people included 35 SMB industry leaders as presenters and discussion panellist. Naturally, it's the people attending a conference that set the tone of an event. In our case, the backbone of our attendees and speakers was the alignment from the start with the heart and soul of the SBS professional community. Adding many new faces to the familiar ones invested in SMB consulting was part of the conference agenda, and on that point we are very pleased with the outcome.
The conference included 3 days of events in New Orleans, of course, plus a 5 day conference for 48 people who came on a Caribbean Cruise roundtrip from New Orleans to Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico. Our daily seminar sessions were casual but still on topic for IT Professionals as the focal point of discussion throughout the week. Computer Associates as well as BackupAssist joined our cruise environment with deliberate goals and investment to lend leadership and emphasis to community based communication and feedback.
In 7-days of activities, SBSmigration.com has offered an opportunity unlike any conference in SMB space. High marks for quality, value and entertainment are a challenge and yet that is what rolled out in one combined event for our New Orleans venue and the option to cruise for the week. What other IT conference can boast 25% of the attendees bringing spouses plus couple celebrating honeymoons, anniversaries and one live surprise engagement celebrated among all of us! Say it ain't so, but 60% of those surveyed say they will bring a spouse to SBSmigration.com IT Pro Conference 2008 because this event covered all the bases as a spectacular success... and a 95% survey response indicates most attendees likely to be back next year.
