As the excitement of Lotusphere dies down, and we return to daily business, I am compelled to write (okay, pressured by our CEO Jeff to blog) about what a positive experience the event was for me.
I will admit that I am not the world’s biggest tradeshow fan. Past experiences at large tradeshows have left a bad taste in my mouth, and honestly I try to avoid them at all cost. I have made my sentiments known to the rest of the management team, so when I was asked to attend Lotusphere at the last minute, I hesitantly committed.
As it turns out, Lotusphere exceeded all my expectations and was an extremely positive experience for me, both professionally and personally. Not only was I impressed with the event itself, but the caliber and friendliness of the IBM folks that I met and interacted with was amazing. As I spoke with the many people who came by the booth and were interested in learning about Prolifiq/LotusLive, it hit me. I am having fun!! I came away reinvigorated and optimistic about our partnership with IBM/LotusLive and excited to see what the future holds for this partnership. I am confident that jointly, we have a very successful future ahead of us.
Lesson learned: the past is not necessarily indicative of the future, or at least it doesn’t have to be if you approach the future with a positive attitude.
