Thanks to everyone that came to visit us at the Cloud Communications Summit at the ITExpo in Miami last week. On behalf of the speakers, Pam and myself, thank you for choosing to spend your day with us. After the first session (at the godless hour of 9:00 AM, we had standing room only, an engaged audience and (I thought) great insight and information from our speakers. Danielle from Twilio was kind enough to video many of the sessions. We’ll post them when they are available, so if you missed the opportunity to attend, you can still listen in on what we were talking about. In your underwear, if you wish.

Our first summit was sponsored by Host.net. Our entire team is humbled by your generosity and your support. We owe you one. No, two.

I would like to extend a personal thanks to my speakers. They stepped up and delivered content that you hadn’t heard at ITExpo before, and completely avoided the “marketing blather” that plagues so many of my previous tradeshow experiences. In particular, I’d like to thank:

• Jason Goecke, Voxeo
• Alec Saunders, Iotum
• Jack Rynes, Jaduka
• Pat Murphy, VoiceSage
• Irv Shapiro, IfByPhone
• Troy Davis, IfByPhone
• Dan York, Voxeo
• Don Van Doren, UC Strategies
• Dan Miller, Opus Research
• Evan Cooke, Twilio
• Danielle Morrill, Twilio
• Moshe Yudkowski, Disaggregate Consulting
• Paul Adams, Broadsoft
• Larry Lisser

I’d also like to thank a man behind the scenes: Jamie Siminoff.   Anybody who works for you or with you is lucky, and anyone who competes with you needs his head checked.  Thank you for your encouragement and support.
