InnoTech Austin online registration officially opened on July 3, 2007 and, before we could get the word on the street, our first online registrant signed up a week later!

I guess I shouldn't be so surprised. On my latest trip to Austin last week, I met with the Advisory Council, as I always do, but this time, there was a palpable "buzz" in the room. The crew was genuinely excited about the event, about technology overall and especially about Austin's role in shaping the future. And we got so much done too...

Check out the eMarketing Summit page for this year's agenda entitled "Optimizing Your Online Marketing Strategy." The Austin CIO Summit agenda is also posted and features exciting topics such as SOA - A Management Level Conversation, Enterprise 2.0 and a featured presentation by Sam Coursen, Chief Information Officer, FreeScale Semiconductor.

The Corporate & Media Sponsors list is growing each week, which is great also.

Time to get back to the phone...more next week!
