What a week. Our first time exhibiting at SES proved very successful. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of traffic we saw at the booth. Everybody wants a BOTW shirt . So many in fact, that after the first day of the show we had to make a run back to the offices (luckily only 30 miles away) to get 5 more boxes.

Kudos to Jupiter Media on attracting such a crowd - the largest ever for a SES show. I heard it mentioned by a few more seasoned exhibitors that SES had actually outgrown the Hilton. I wonder if this will be the last show there. The keynote from Barry Diller was very interesting, and the standing room only was a good indicator of the sessions. From what I heard, most sessions were over-crowded, with many spilling out into the hallways, only to be viewed on a plasma screen. One point of criticism - the evening events were disjointed, with the only clear party being the Ask.com party Monday night.

The networking opportunities were tremendous. We were able to meet with a lot of important people, and we should see some nice opportunities for business development in the months to come. For pictures from the show, see the BOTW SES Pics.

Thanks to everybody for coming by the booth - we were really happy to have received such a warm reception, and we look forward to seeing you all at the next show.
