Microsoft EMEA Hosting Club Feedback

Got back (eventually- I won't bore you with delayed flight stories) from Nice and the 10th EMEA Hosting Club Executive Roundtable. It was, as always, an extremely useful trip. My colleague, Mike Williams, and I managed to hook up with a number of old friends and industry peers and had a good catch up. Highlights were:

• Intelecom. Nice Unified Comms solution. Shame the mike (microphone, rather than my colleague) kept falling off during the session
• Genesis. Our competitors, but a good presentation which was pleasantly frank
• Martha Béjar, Corporate Vice President, Communications Sector. Good to have some senior people telling us like it is
• Workshops. I was in David Ednie's session. He's a clever guy, very knowledgeable and a great facilitator. Swears like a true aussie ;-)
• Serge's attention to detail. Serge Khayat is the Senior Marketing Manager for the hosting team and has superb attention to detail
• The violinists. Enough said.

A great event, nicely put together.
