Well, the InnoTech Oregon event was last week, Wednesday and Thursday and we are almost recovered. It was two solid days of conference sessions with massive networking and one productive day of exhibits and demos at the Expo. So much happened over the two days it is difficult to recap in one blog, so I spread out over the next couple of days.

Wednesday, April 16 was strictly conference sessions with the expo set up going on behind closed doors. At times there were six different tracks happening and most of the day all six rooms were packed. The buzz in between the conference sessions was amazing and the complimentary coffee from EasyStreet did not hurt. Two of our main authors/speakers presented on April 16 to packed rooms with book signing taking place right after.

Ron Pernick, who resides in Portland, was the keynote for the Clean Tech Track hosted by SAO on April 16. When I opened the door, Ron's presentation was standing room only and I was excited to see the line of people purchasing his Clean Tech book from Powells and asking for autographs. I was a little worried about attendance for the Nonprofit Technology Summit, but again the room was full and I heard many positive comments about the sessions and the work TACS & NPOWER are doing in the community. I look forward to making the Nonprofit Tech Summit a big part of InnoTech next year with presentations and its own expo with demos and product discussions.

Over 800 business and technology professionals from the NW attended InnoTech on April 16. It was nothing but hard work and fun all day long. More to follow about the eMarketing Summit and second day of InnoTech. My thanks to everyone for attending and solidifying InnoTech as Oregon's premier technology event.
