I hope that you guys made it safely to Hong Kong. We have secured an unconference session on Wednesday at 4:40 - 5:20 (SkyCity Meeting Room 2). There will be a panel of customers and vendors, and we are already gathering some really good feedback. We will also be able to run a demo of what we have running. Looking forward to the discussion.
