This is a small but focused show that highlights the best in online productivity and although there are a lot of Goliaths in attendance (Google, Microsoft, SAP, Intuit and more), there are also a lot of next generation Web 2.0 innovators showcasing their wares. These are very often the folks who bring the best to our market – the SMB market. Not only are we an SMB ourselves, but many of our clients fall into this category. We are always looking for the best in online collaboration, SaaS and productivity solutions. We use a lot of these already, including Intuit’s QuickBooks Online, ADP EasyNet, Constant Contact’s email marketing and online survey products, Genius’ SalesGenius, GoToMeeting and of course a plethora of Google business solutions. We also use our client, Conduit’s, AllMyBlogs toolbar to stay updated on up-to-the-minute news and opinions from the hottest blogs such as TechCrunch, GigaOM, Mashable and Webware.

Press and blog coverage has already begun - and with some of the best bloggers, reporters and analysts attending, it’s sure to expand this week. We can’t wait to see what’s unveiled at this show that focuses on a “unique gathering of visionaries, thought leaders, and customers using innovative online services for getting things done at the office, at home, and on the go.” As a distributed workforce trendsetter, that’s music to our ears.
