Last week we attended Parallels Summit 2009 in Las Vegas. The conference was a two-day event that brought together service providers, industry and technology experts, media, and vendors. The over-arching theme was “cloud computing” and there were sessions on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), automation, virtualization and other important topics.
Parallels will be posting some videos and presentations from the event, including Adam Eisner’s presentation on “Domain Names and Web Hosting in 2009 and Beyond”. We’ll let you know when it is ready. In the meantime you can see some conference coverage at theWHIR including a review of Adam’s presentation.
I thought it was a great opportunity for our team to network and meet face-to-face with many of our current and prospective resellers, as well as partners and other industry folks. We were very happy to meet some of you there and to get to know you and your businesses better. I’d like to thank everyone who took the time to meet with us or drop by our booth. On that note, I’d like to announce our booth prize winner. Congratulations to Steve from BlackSun on winning a Drobo!
Overall, we were very pleased with the event. We felt it was a well thought-out, organized, and attended event. We look forward to next year’s summit.
Next month, we are travelling to Germany to meet up with our EMEA team to sponsor WebhostingDay. We are excited to meet some of our resellers on the other side of the world. WebhostingDay takes place from March 18-20, 2009 and is the the largest web hosting event in Europe. If you are planning to attend, or interested in registering, please let us know.
