Last night, I had the opportunity to play in the (soon-to-be) monthly SAO poker party at Kell's Irish Pub in downtown Portland Although I didn't win, I did have a great time talking with the 50+ people in attendance and spreading the word about the upcoming InnoTech event. As co-presenting sponsor along with EasyStreet Online Services, SAO is doing an incredible job keeping InnoTech at the forefront of the tech community's minds.

Thank you, especially, to Harvey Mathews, President, SAO and Ericka Katz, Director of Programs, SAO, for their amazing support of the event. I think you'll see the difference that their input and creativity is having on this year's InnoTech agenda (including the addition of internationally sought-after speaker, Don Tapscott, Chief Executive, New Paradigm & Author, WIKINOMICS: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything.

So, next month, I plan on turning my pocket Aces into a win (which I just couldn't do last night) and seeing you there too!
