My Atlanta Forum thoughts
First, I would like to say THANK YOU to all who attended The Atlanta Forum. I would ESPECIALLY like to thank the great sponsors that did so much to make this show the success it was. We could not have done it without them so make sure you let them know that you appreciate what they did.
Tony and I had been talking about doing this show for a couple of years now. When Tony came to me and said "let's do it this year", my response was "sounds like a great idea...you have fun with it". My plate is very full running NationalNet and I really didn't have time to deal with this, so I was not the least involved with the planning of TAF. Because of that, I pretty much had the viewpoint of an attendee.
As an "attendee", I thought it was a great show. All the people that were there were decision makers and that made for a great show for doing business. The hotel was perfect (except for the lack of coffee makers in the room :-) and the staff was great. I liked the parties and events and the seminars were amazingly well done. It was nice to have something different for a change as opposed to the same old seminars we are all used to. For those that did not attend the seminars, make it a point to next year...
It was also one of the most fun shows I ever attended. Whether it was daytime at the pool or the bar or at a dinner, I was surrounded by friends and we were always having a great time.
Again, thanks to all the sponsors and also thanks for those that hung with me and made it a great time for me. I won't mention any names, but you all know who you are.
Next year, I'll bring the live chicken (inside joke :-)
-- Bill
