HostingCon 2010 is taking place in a couple days in Austin, Texas. I am joining 20 of my colleagues at HostDime on the trip to HostingCon where we will be doing our second booth at a conference. This booth however will be in a 20 x 20 foot area right in front of the entrance to the conference.
A little bit about HostingCon. This is by far the biggest conference in our industry with an estimated 1500 – 2000 attendees this year which is another increase from the previous years. It is attended by small and large web hosts, technical providers, marketing teams, investors, and hardware/software service providers. There are over 100 exhibitors and sessions spanning all three days.
This year is huge for HostDime as we are going to be debuting two products that no one else in the industry offers at this time. One of them is our GeoSync Hosting that will revolutionize our industry and the way business’s deliver websites. The other is that we will be demoing and offering paid accounts of the new control panel for windows by cPanel called Enkompass. We will be the only company at HostingCon to have tested the product enough to offer paid accounts at the event.
I have never been to HostingCon so this will be the biggest event I’ve attended with our company. This is also the most involvement I’ve had in preparing for the event. It’s amazing how much work we all put in for 3 whirl-wind days, but I know it will all be worth it in the end. From marketing materials to LED lights, shirts, and stress reliever globes we are definitely going bigger then ever this year! I hope to have some more updates throughout the event from some of the sessions I will be attending.
