As we near another Lotusphere event, I have been reaching out to the Lotus community and asking my customers whether or not I can expect to see them at this year’s show. Much to my surprise, a large portion has decided not to attend this year. I cannot confirm nor deny that all numbers will be down, but typically, my customers provide a good indication on what type of attendance to expect.
I do know, from a vendor perspective, that all the usual suspects will be there presenting and manning their booths, but what about attendees? What’s the word on the street? Are you hearing the same numbers as you normally do? Better, worse? I’m always curious to see what will happen once I’m there.
I do have some good news to announce… the popular pre-Lotusphere party, co-hosted by Sherpa Software and Mayflower Software, is making a return this year! Once again, we will be holding our annual party right before the Sunday night Welcome Reception. Come join us as we get your Lotusphere 2012 week started. This year’s “Mobilize to Socialize” party will be held on January 15th from 4:30 – 6:30pm at the Crescent Terrace. Enjoy a mix of networking with Lotus experts while sipping on our almost famous Lotustini cocktails! This year’s theme is inspired by the thought of collaborating and socializing with leading industry experts from all over the world.
While you are cruising through the showcase floor, be sure to stop by booth #528 and check out our latest product offerings. We have many new and exciting changes coming to Sherpa’s Discovery Attender that will make your Legal & HR staff happy. Compliance Attender has recently added a Classification Module to its extensive real-time document management capability. Mail Attender, after 11 years, is still growing and considered one of the best total email management products you’ll find anywhere.
And oh yeah, and there will be give-aways at the booth too. Stop by and give the Wheel of Cash & Prizes a spin to see what you win. There might even be a famous Pittsburgh Steelers Terrible Towel or two.
See everyone in a few weeks in Sunny Orlando!
