SMB Nation Seattle Rocked

For all of you IT guys & girls that made it to SMB Nation in Seattle hosted by Harry Brelsford this past weekend, I hope you had as good of a time as I did and learned a lot as well.

I am proud to say that I had the chance to speak and be surrounded with lots of great speakers to choose from in both the business and technical presentations. They included Robin Robbins, Dona and Charles Keating, Matt Makowicz, Stuart Selbst, Frank Coker, Tom Poole, Stephen Schramke, Ramon Ray, and Jeff Middleton to name just a few.

The vendors rocked as well including my buddy Karl Palachuk from SMBbooks.com (seen with me in the picture below after the first 3 days of the event, so yes I know I look bad).




Other cool vendors included the guys at LabTech, the CMIT crew, Naseem from Results, the Secure My Company guys, Calyptix, the ASCII group, and of course my friends from the ICCA.

I had the pleasure of doing a presentation on the business track entitled "Own Your Business, Don't Let It Own You" which I had a blast doing and I think it was pretty well received. If you were there and missed it or you want to catch a piece of the finer points from some of my slides (good for all tech business entrepreneurs), I'd be happy to put something together for you. For those that were at SMB Nation, I'm pretty sure they will be making it available as well in the near future.

The show was great and the parties after each daily grind were even better. That's where the real action and networking took place. I had a great time with vendors, speakers and attendees alike. But I want to give a special shout out to a few attendees that helped to keep me in good spirits all weekend including Mike Alligood, Jay Leinart, and "The Aussie Delegate" Matt Drane.

Although I got back to the East Coast yesterday afternoon, I am still pretty beat up so I think I'll call it a night and put up some juicy business info in a few days. Stay tuned.

To Your Business Success-
