Our team setting up the iMeet booth

SXSW offers an endless amount of things for people to do. So, with all of the parties, concerts and free giveaways going on all the time, I thought that the trade show would probably be the last thing on most people’s to-do list. After all, trade shows generally have that corporate, snooze-fest stigma that boring technology is going to be pushed onto you by a bunch of sales people in suits. Boy, was I ever wrong about this one.

The trade show turned out to be great! So many people were there to engage in demos, discussions, performances and interact with special guests.

There was such a variety of companies and projects in attendance, including yours truly. I’m happy to report that our iMeet® booth was a hit!

We had four touchscreens, as well as a laptop, set up to introduce everyone to iMeet. Our team had such a great time interacting with all of the SXSW attendees who dropped by. Sean O’Brien, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Communications, really “loved the vibe” of the trade show. “This venue was perfect for introducing a new way to meet that is counter-culture to boring, stuffy meetings.”

Todd McCormick, Vice President of SMB Sales, was also on the floor and said that, “We were able to demo iMeet to a bunch of great technology companies, entrepreneurs and pioneers. The feedback we received was fantastic. Everyone loved iMeet!  We enjoyed the relaxed and engaging atmosphere, the speakers, the music and the great town of Austin.”

Todd, sporting an iMeet shirt, was so immersed in the excitement of SXSW that he even had a rock star moment while at Chevrolet’s booth:

Everyone on our team, not just Rock Star Todd, had such a great time at this year’s trade show that we’re already planning and looking forward to next year’s event!
