Jeffrey Mann

Really, I am — like you wouldn’t believe.

Not just because I have been working on it for months as the conference chair. Not just because I have some interesting presentations to deliver. Not just because I get to hear dozens of stories from clients about what they are doing with social software and collaboration. Not just because it doesn’t look like it will rain as much this year as it did last year. Not just because Cannes is kind of a pretty place. Not just because I get to take a cool TGV there instead of a plane. Not just for these reasons.

Also because there is some cool stuff happening on the ITxpo floor, like a live functioning telepresence suite and a Windows 7 upgrade lab. Also because there are cool topics my colleagues will be presenting like Pattern-based Strategy, and Applications Overhaul. 

Also because I get to see a lot of customers and colleagues I usually talk on the phone with. That is cool. I hope you are one of them.
