Gnomedex 9.0 or what I did this summer

ServerLogic attended Gnomedex 9.0 last week and we came away with a strong sense that, despite the surrounding news of a recession and a lack of surety for the immediate future, the tech world is humming along just fine.

The presentations covered a variety of topics (a personal favorite: Life Extension for Geeks) but the conversations on the floor outside the auditorium were equally interesting. Entrepeneurs, inventors, consultants, and tech company reps, all mixing together.

It was a striking visual of our tech economy at work and a sign that, despite a flagging economy, there is a lot going on and a lot about to happen. For a technology company the time is now to plan for growth. As the rest of the economy just begins to get back on its feet smart companies are planning for their success, investing in the right technologies and people with an eye to the future.

And that’s what I did this summer.
